Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair.
Saw that microscope in the background and knew she was dead serious. You know she has hair strands on slides back there ready to go.
She's truly dead serious.
LOL!
🤣🤣🤣 For real lol
😂 I said the same thing!!
😂😂😂😂
I have watched PLENTY videos on high porosity hair and nothing came close to being as informative as this video! Well done!
No joke...I washed my hair and headed to YT for your LCO/LOC info to see where my hair is now. Thankfully, I found THIS video through a link in one of your others. Unfortunately, my hair is almost bone dry now.😫
LOVE your channel!😘
Dislikes? I don't get how anyone could dislike facts and science. The intellect of her videos are what I have been waiting for!
I enjoyed watching your video. Now I know my hair is high Porosity. My hair always gets tangle aftre washed. It's dry very quickly and it is also very fine. I take very good care of my hair to provement breakages. My hair has grown a lot since I have been taking good care of my hair, since locked down. Thank you so much for your help and advice.
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. You have actually helped me learn about the porosity of my hair. It's been so confusing, but you make it so much easier to understand and remedy. Thank you so much!!!
my high porosity hair is KILLING me. but I'm following your advice and so far my hair feels better. it retains more moisture now and is shiny. also the real protein is really helping. also I started using rice brain oil. miracle worker. my hair loves it. I'm 5 and half weeks into this new journey. so far so good. but we will see. I can't say my hair has a lot of breakage per say. its just dry as hell. all is getting better but it takes time. also my scalp was dry and once I started paying more attention to that everything else got better I use a evening primerose mix with other oils and my scalp is no longer itching and dry. so I'm hopeful
DAB NAILZ my hair is HIPO too! The longest it will stay moisturized is 1.5 day...LCO is the best method....LOC let's the moisture escape too fast and it feels like product sitting on top of my strands.........LCO=HIPO
zoia carr yes I do lco now. Also what has helped me tremendously is I wash my hair now..I don't cowash anymore. Use straight up shampoo. I feel like our hair get clogged easily and the only way it performs is by using shampoo. My hair stays moisturized all week now because of the rice bran oil. Its everything!
DAB NAILZ thanks, I'm going to look into that oil right now
I'm Hi Pro too...boy could I relate!👀 GB hydrolyzed protein reeeeally jump started my journey to a healthier, more manageable and lovable head of hair. Of course you still gotta find the right oils, creams, leave-in, etc... but the Protein helped my hair receive my products of choice once I found them..wishing you success in your journey✌🏽
DAB NAILZ what protein treatment do u use bc i feel like protein treatments made my hair worse
This was so timely and definitely needed. I'm working with 3 different heads of hair in my house. Sounds like I'm on the right track for the one that's hi porosity. I have seen major improvement in the hair as well. Still working on sealing in moisture. The acidic spritz appears to make the biggest difference as well as choosing a very gentle shampoo bar for cleansing. Thanks so much!
i have learned a lot of this thru trial and error and i find that so cool! your videos are so informative and affirming.
Love the detail and how you concisely explain this topic🙌🏽
Thank you for the information. This explains a lot for me and why my hair does better with butter creams.
Can you do a video on stretching the hair in the least harmful way? Because I can't get a handle on this hair of mine. And to be completely honest, I am so over the two strand twist look.
thanks so much in advance 😊
Roller setting
I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS BEFORE I DYED AND BIG CHOPPED MY HAIR
my hair is annoying. the back is high porosity and middle is high/normal and the front is low porosity. the back hairs are thinner and the front is thciker so this video made sense to me a lot . ugh this video helped a lot.
awesome information! I always thought I had low porosity hair.
Always so informative. Thanx!!!
Great video, super informative. I ❤ the poster behind you. Where did you get it from?
Thanks for this! Very informaive and i have just subbed :) I have a question:
Can high porosity hair be combated by shaving it all off and starting again? So I mean if i grow my hair from being bald will it ALWAYS be high porosity? Or will the new strands take on new characteristics?
Great video! My crown area tends to be drier, coarse hair strands, and rough bumps when I slide a single strand from my crown area between my fingers. I clicked on this video to see if maybe my crown area is high in porosity while the rest of my hair is medium porosity. But the characteristics did not match with my crown area. I would like my crown area to be manageable like the rest of my hair but I am unsure of how to do so.
Amazing images! Really helped me thank you
Love your work sis. Classy.... keep shining.😁😀
My roots very fast and ends stays wet for the whole day that means its high in roots and low in ends because of harsh treatments any help please?
Van your hair have high and low porosity in different sections of your hair. I think my hair hs fine in the back and sides the middle top to middle back is drier and more kinky. The front is dry and manageable
Hello could you make a video on different brushes like the demand and tangle teezer
Beautiful PowerPoint
Thank you
you are very helpful!
I have 4c hair and high porosity
New sub!!
Can you do a video on tips to correct over greenhousing of high porosity hair? I literally washed and conditioned, L.O.C'd my hair and left the shower cap on over night (which o now know is a no-no) and now my hair is to say the least -dry and frizzy😭
Will you cover mixed porosity hair and how to care for it? I have high porosity in the front and middle and low in the back... I'm so confused.
Why did it sound like you were describing my hair to a T! Great video and information.
Hey so is aloe vera spritz good for high porosity or low porosity? Can this replace the apple cider. Which is better for high porosity hair?
Thank you for your video. My question concerns high porosity. If you are someone who used to get relaxers and then grew your hair out and went natural, why wouldn’t the new hair be healthier and low in porosity? I don’t understand how this is a permanent condition. Does the new hair come out of your scalp already damaged?
SO GRATEFUL for your videos! Thank you for all the work and effort you put into giving us extremely informative/useful tips and advice! God Bless
how do you feel about aloe vera
Im high porosit but my hair doesn't tangle im also coarse so maybe the overlap on my hair prevents the tangled and i use protein so maybe thsts why ❤
I dont have any characteristics of high porosity but it never holds moisture in I put a lot of products on it and in few minutes its dry and frizzy what am I supposed to do?
Do you have any other methods to find out if your hair is high or low porosity? Just to make sure that my results are good
It’s not necessarily about ‘results’ it’s more about getting to KNOW your hair by taking care of it for an extended period of time. Be patient and give yourself some time. After getting to know your hair, you will know what porosity you are.
My 4c hair high porosity can't even hang on its own 5 mins before the strands knot together.I brush them and 5 mins later they knot again from the ends. Please somebody help me
i have 4a/4b hair but it has no movement. it only has movement when its wet. is that normal or am i missing something?
im not sure but i believe that i have high perosity hair. I experience alot of build up during the following days of washing my hair. it consists of both dandruff and my leave in conditioner and oil. Could you make a video as to how to reduce build up in high perosity hair?
Can you steam high porosity hair?
Hey green Beauty Channel my hair is very dry and but my hair likes protein deep treatment I think my hair like water and it is Easley takes water. It gets dry some parts of my hair but not all of them I think I have high porosity hair I used to have low porosity but sometimes I took the water test and some of my hair with the bottom cup and some stay afloat
Do you do your "Protin Deep Treatment" with added heat?
I have a problem. My hair is extremely high in porosity. So much so 20 years ago I gave up all dyes because It makes my hair break . but now I'm 40 and going gray visibly randomly all over. No parts hide it. Any suggestion?
I have to spritz my hair with warm
Water in order for it to absorb product. Does this mean I’m low porosity?
Hey girl! Love your channel
You sound low po. I am the opposite.
My hair gets fully saturated when wet, absorbs most products well, has sheen, sometimes very shiny regardless if I use products or not.
It can get extremely dry like straw after a while but it's pretty durable and not prone to heat damage nor breakage.
I read deep conditioning with heat at least once a week helps for low po.
Off topic but, you're beautiful! ❤
My hair isn't growing can u help me please
How does one test to see what their porosity range is?
There is a link in the video of a past video I did showing you how to test your hair's porosity.
Thank you kindly for your wealth of information
Well my hair breaks easy tangles easy but i only have some strands that dry out quickly and the rest takes a long time to dry ? Im so confused i dont what am I i also watched the medium por. Vid and the low one and whenever i watch one i think oh thats my hair ....im so confused now anyone has this problem?
so like I'm relaxed rn but I'm starting to transition and I know my relaxed hair is high porosity but I don't know about my new grown relaxed hair so would I still treat it as high porosity or just wait until I'm done transitioning before buying the high porosity stuff and not needing it later
my new grown natural* hair
Hey GB a quick tip alot of us watch youtube videos on our phones in which annotations does not work so if you could list the videos you reference in your description box that would be very helpful. This way it keep us on your channel watching video after video. Just throwing this out there. Hope it helps.
NappyFu TV thanks 😊
Green Beauty Channel ™ you're welcome.
NappyFu TV Aye! Nappyfu all up on my screen 🤗🤗
Austin Peewwaarss Ayeeeeeee 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just saw that annotations won't be available anymore
Now I know why my hair breaks easily, dries easily and tangles easily. 😩
Same.
same here I been trying to find methods that work great for my hair. Has anyone tried the aloe vera leaf on high porosity hair. If so any ideas on how to use it.
Charlisa Duncan I use it and I love it. You can make an aloe Vera gel out of the leaf and use it as a pre poo or in a diy curling creme. You can also use Aloe Juice as part of a leave in and/or detangler. It’s extremely versatile especially for the cost. I’m high porosity and I’m contemplating buying an aloe plant it’s just that serious
How do you use it
Yep me too
Great video as always. After understanding porosity, I was able to manage my daughter's dry hair better. We focus more on porosity rather than on hair typing.
DiscoveringNatural yes Porosity gives you more information then that 4a,b,c system
I’m neither high, low or medium. I just wanna through my whole head away 😫.
I feel you
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m finished
I literally feel the same.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it can be ALL OVER THE PLACE and it's like..ok. How do i help myself then? 😭
Me too 😩😩
I don't know why my skin crawled seeing the hair strands
Lol same here
omg same idk what it was but yikes
It’s called trypophobia
Omg!! Me too I had to look away from it
Cheers, Tichophobia-a fear of hair, especially seeing or touching fallen hair on clothes, floors, walls etc. I struggle with this phobia. Trypophobia is a fear of holes.
It’s hard to find people with high porosity hair and get advice on it. Thanks for the video! Preciate it.😊
I'm a geek by nature. I absolutely LOVE your channel and always look forward to your videos! Keep up the GREAT work! :)
Thank you #GeeksUnite
+Green Beauty Channel ™ Lmbo! For sure. :)
GreenBeauty can you make a video about the MSM to grow hair ??
OH my God!!! I've been doing it wrong for years! I did the hair float on the water test and it never sank. I though I was low porosity,, but when you describe the tangles, the thin hair, the easy to break, the water gone after washing, its all me! this video even explain why I can't grow my hair after 6 years and numerous setbacks it still neck length....thank you green beauty
naturallyme girl yes! I thought I was low porosity too! That water test had me all messed up.
I definitely thought after the water test I was low porosity as well and went and got the shea moisture low porosity line which didn't help 🙄 and after watching this I learned I'm high porosity
naturallyme same here sis. Exact same story! Did the test and thought I was low po , meanwhile I LOC and wake up with oily dry hair! So frustrating but I understand now thanks to green beauty and my own trial and error.
Chebe is your friend.
Same! 9 years thinking I’m low porosity struggling with dry, brittle hair just to discover I’m actually high porosity… knowledge is power!
I thought my hair was low porosity. Just found out it’s actually high porosity 😩😭
It's so overtly complex unnecessarily lol
I've been watching your videos ever since I was 15 years old and I'm now 19 and because of you my hair grew so Much...I would like to share sum pics with you
I have high porosity hair too so these past few years have been some serious trial and error. But once I started using your protein treatment ohmygod my hair is alive! It's so moisturized. Your product was a serious game changer for me.
Came back to tell you that the porosity series has reeeeeeeeeally helped my hair. I now retain moisture and have shine because, thanks to this series, I know what works for my hair.
Keep up the great work!
i think my hair is high porosity but it is so thin and fine that it would get really greasy quickly with a bunch of butter and oils..... ugh
I'm the same. Have you found a routine that works or products you have used that works? Give me tips!!
High porosity works better with medium to lightweight texture creams and leave-ins.. Butters are not the best option because it will cause build up faster. I have fine/medium strand, low density, medium to high porosity hair. When I use products that have shea butter in the first five ingredients, it's greasy and flat. I only use oils to scrunch out the crunch when I use gel and when I do scalp massages. Hope this helps.
TheKimberleeboo I tried the “High Porosity” gel by Shea Moisture for the hell of it bc it was on sale at TJMaxx and my hair was in LOVE! Tried the “low porosity” one and my hair was big mad and dry lol that’s how I knew which one I was! 🤣😭
SO HELPFUL!!! My hair has always been high porosity and fits into evry one of those HP parameters. It's hard to find info on HP hair that helps you actually build a routine. These tips you provided were excellent and affirmed what I've been doing, with some needed reminders as well. My hair is finally thriving (at 6 years natural) after a consistent moisture regimen, quarterly protein treatments, scalp massages, always sealing, DC'ing for LESS time, no blow drying, and keeping it stretched. Great job! Thank you so much :-)
Well said !!!!
@@GreenBeauty plz! Help to figure out which typr of my hair ....my hair is too damaged,dry and breakage .....its thinning day by day😩🥺
My hair is coarse, dense, high porosity and my mother's hair is fine, dense, color treated low porosity so I've had to learn to care for both. My hair loves aloe vera juice and gel, I use it in my final rinse hair tea blend and as the L in my midweek LOC routine. I don't like heavy greasy residue in my hair, even though it is very absorbent and sucks down product so I apply products with a very light hand, building up the layers until I reach optimal coverage. I wash my hair every week to 10 days to insure a thorough moisture infusion regularly and I DC with every wash. I wear twists most of the time because they help my hair retain moisture longer, I can re-moisturize without restyling and style transitions are very simple.
Can you do a video on why the back of someone's hair is kinkier and grows slower than the front?
MekaSharee that's a good idea. It due to the follicles. Follicles and hair strands in the back tend to get more nutrients and sebum coverage/protection then the hair in the front. Mainly due to gravity. It's an interesting topic so I'll do a video on it. Thanks for the great idea 😀
Green Beauty Channel ™ would the inversion method change that ?
Green Beauty Channel ™ so it would grow slower because it gets MORE nutrients? I'm confused 😩 all i know is for as long as i can remember the back of my hair has always been shorter than the front. The front will grow so long that i have to cut it to make it even with the back and the texture is more manageable.
MekaSharee I have the same problem except the "trouble area" is the middle of the back of my head ... below the crown and above the nap... I kinda figured it was because the area there is the kinkiest...
Cyu Hen if i part my hair starting from directly behind my ear all the way straight across to the other side, that's the area. So it's kinda like my hair grows in a natural bob 😕 i hate it plus the back is kinkier and shrinks up more than the front too.
this channel is absolutely fabulous and designed GORGEOUS. GREAT ENERGY AND INFORMATION,IS A BLESSING. THANK YOU, GREENBEAUTY!
I'm so confused because I did the floating test and I thought my hair was low porosity. Then I watched the two videos on porosity and my hair fitted in both categories
Mine too, let’s just mix both routines!
You look beautiful
Thanks 😊
What I like most of you and your videos is the way you explain everything, and graphically. The knowlege about the origin and the science of the things is so important too, more in this world where the industries bring us a lot of products with a lot of chemicals that we don't know if really work for our curly hair. Thank you very much. Greetings from Venezuela and excuses for my English!!
By the way, could you talk about silicones, when use them or when not?
Thank you 🙂
I talk about silicones in these videos on Product Build-up. I hope they are helpful :-)

Hi from another venezuelan! Jaja
You're such a professional!
Wow!!!! I always learn soooooo much from your vids. My hair is definitely high porosity hair. And I was wondering why my hair was drying out every other day. One...I haven't done a protein treatment in a months and second I've never done an ACV rinse....my hair is very coily, it's grown a lot but I didn't really understand why knowing your porosity mattered. You've made it so clear and easy to understand. thanks for helping us. 😍 blessings ❤❤😇
I hate it when I wet my hair and it feels like carpet 😞
Did the test and thought I was low po , meanwhile I LOC and wake up with oily dry hair! So frustrating but I understand now thanks to green beauty and my own trial and error.
Been a HYPO forever but whenever I go to the salon for a cut they always say my hair is medium and I'm NOPE...been dealing with this my whole life it's HYPO.
I use the tension method to stretch my hair for the initial styling then use bands during the week to maintain the stretch. One thing with HYPO hair is that ours shrinks like no other during humid days because it soaks up all that moisture in the air.
No matter what you try if you have HYPO hair you will either have to put it in a puff or allow it to shrink but it won't stay stretched if the humidity is above 60% 😒
Great point on high porosity hair and the difficulty of maintaining stretched hair !
Siiiis you just described my hair in this Louisiana humidity. My braid out turns into a bush lol
Okay, I am a bit confused. I want to try the rice water but as I was going through the comments I learned that High Porosity hair work best with that.
My Hair:
4C
Tangles Easily
Breaks easily wet or dry
I have to work the shampoo and conditioner in it otherwise it will sit on my hair
My hair air drys quickly leaving a bit of dampness
My hair hold heat when it get flat ironed or blow dryed
I do not dye my hair
My hair is very thick but im told when it's flat-ironed you can see it's a bit fine.
In order for me to keep my hair moisturized i have to oil it with JBCO for it to seap in and even then after a day or two it feels dry again
I was watching this video to determine if it would be okay to use rice water once a month or two times a month.
Thanks!
Chebe.
Don’t flat iron your hair. I did it 3 months ago and I regret now.
Hey Gb. You mentioned rice water patches....but Is rice water a hydrolyzed protein treatment? I studied that it's not so please let me know your findings.
NappyFu TV hey NappyFu good question rice water has a good amount of protein (an average of 16%) so in a way it is a Hydrolyzed protein b/c it diluted in water making it easier to penetrate your hair.
NappyFu TV but overall penetration of anything is also determined by how porous your hair is.
Thanks for answering GB. Hmmmm ok so are you saying a protein when diluted in water can become hydrolyzed? Such as egg or greek yogurt?
Okay ... I'll try to explain this without getting too sciencey 🤓. All 'Hydrolyze' means is to break down a molecule's bonds into its separate atoms in a process that has something to do with water (hence the prefix "hydro"). There are different levels of "hydrolysis" from weak to strong. An example of a weaker 'hydrolysis' is when you mix salt and water. The water breaks down (or hydrolyzes) the salts bonds (the stuff holding the atoms together). The breakdown of the salt's structure is why salt gains "dissolves" in water. Here's a link to a visual to help you understand what I'm talking about - thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/salt-crystal-vector-illustration-chemical-reaction-water-35617474.jpg. As you can see, the salt didn't really disappear, it's just broken-down into smaller pieces. This is the same thing that happens with rice water. The water breaks down not just the proteins but, other nutrient molecule in the rice, which is then transferred into the water. It's easier to do this with rice b/c rice is very porous and its bonds are on the weaker end. Every protein (eggs, meat etc.) have different bond strengths so, some require more energy to break down (or hydrolyze). But, imma stop here b/c its gonna get way too sciencey.
I hope this made sense
Low porosity gang here lol. waiting for the next video. tfs
Yea, I can talk all day about low porosity so, the next video may be a bit long. Apologies in advance 😁lol
Green Beauty Channel ™ However this High Porosity video is excellent for the unlearned!!
Green Beauty Channel ™ hahahahahha no problem at all. We will sip some tea while watching 😊😊😊
it would be nice if you can discuss medium porosity hair (that is what I have), I find that it is overlooked alot...
Rakiya Hamilton yes you're right medium Porosity hair is overlooked a lot mainly b/c it's easier to identify the extremes. So I'll post a video on medium Porosity as well 😊
Right its over looked because its not as problematic when it comes to trying to moisturize it.
Yes, that would be a stand-out addition to the series of phenomenally-covered topics on this channel... awesome suggestion. I look forward to it since Green Beauty said it's a 'go' Yay!
I love your videos... but can I make a tiny suggestion? I have high porosity 4C hair. And I watched the low porosity video and noticed that (because you are low porosity) you basically had 2x as many tips for that hair type. I understand that's because you've lived it! I was kind of hoping that if you end up doing specific videos for other hair types, you could ask your subscribers/fans with that hair type for specific questions of the kind that are addressed in the low porosity video.
So e.g. you address coconut oil and low porosity hair. But I also struggled with coconut oil as a high porosity, because it turns out it doesn't seal enough! Also, I, like a lot of high porosities, have had trouble with butters because they were drying my hair out. I realized that I wasn't layering enough product underneath. Also, glycerin and high porosity hair!
And another example, you recommend water only washing but I just don't think water only washing would work for a high porosity because of the roughness of the cuticle and the potential for tangling. In reality your hair will be long broken off before you ever reach full coverage.
I know I am slightly jealous because I wish there was a science based high porosity blogger who was as good as you are who I could follow!
Love your videos!
My hair hates sulfates. Sulfate free is alright but my hair loves a cowash.
What if you have both? I thought i had low porosity hair but i watched this and i also have high porosity hair. The kicker is that my natural hair (roots) is low and the color treated parts of the hair (70 % of my hair) is high! The breakage is horrible and has thinned my end so bad. But my roots are extremely thick and have water beads after wash and take a long time to dry. How do I find the balance to treat both? HEEELLLPPPP
Are most people low porosity? It seems like that from the comments...
Heart of Africa I'm not sure if most of us are low in Porosity... it definitely seems like it. But us Blacks/Africans have the most diverse gene pool then any other race on earth 🌏 so it's almost impossible to determine if "most" of use have a certain feature or characteristics.
Though there are variations, a lot have kinky coarse hair, not fine medium hair. So yes, it would make sense that most would be low po since they have more cuticle layers than fine hair.
I'm confused on why many think they are high po when they have expressed a problem with conditioners sitting on their hair and not penetrating enough to help retain moisture.
That is not a high porosity characteristic.
my crown area has high porosity characteristics while the rest of my hair has low porosity characteristics. never would have thought that until this video. thanks.
Thank you Sis *GreenBeauty* for this Valuable Information!!!! I had a hair stylist that had perming my hair since the 1980's never had any problems with her until 2017. She applied the perm not only on my new growth but also on my old permed hair!! Then 2018 my bad judgement call I went back to her for just the touch up and she did it again..put the perm on my new growth and old hair...causing breakage and shedding at a all time high!!! SMH! I have now High Porosity Hair! I will not EVER allow her to put hair hands back in my hair again!! I am transitioning into Natural Hair now. I haven't had any perm in my hair since June 2018. This is was a Great Wake up call for me to leave the chemicals alone and take care and continue to grow my own hair as I have been minus the chemical perm touch up! Thank you again Sis!!! :-)
Another thing is I found that my hair actually HATES putting product in it. I can literally put a index finger in the moisturizer and tap the surface and that enough for a twist, my products last about a year because my hair HATES product being piled on.
I figured out that for HYPO hair the best solution is a solid wash day routine and conditioning routine. I don't even use oils unless it's during deep treatment because they just make my hair greasy. I find putting too much on my hair actually presents it from holding the twist out style. Also, keeping the hair cut in a shape is great for maintaining the style.
You sound like you have low porosity hair not high. She has three videos on low porosity
Can you have high porosity hair that dislikes protein?
I love how informative you are and how easily you break things down using visuals!
Thank You 🙂
You are, by far, one o my favourite hair bloggers. I love the way you explain and educate. I am getting there with my hair 😊 Many thanks 😊
I think I have high porosity hair. One of the characteristics I relate to is the easy breakage (no matter how moist my hair is) and the easy dryness. Yet, still I don't think I respond very well to protein. When I apply a protein treatment my hair feels harder, almost like thin wire and breaks easily. I concluded that I may be 'Protein sensitive' So I am not sure of what to do at this point. Any recommendations or product suggestions?
Thank you this video was helpful. I have high porosity hair but my strands are coarse instead of fine . I was curious are the hydrolyzed proteins in a regular conditioner as potent as the effective as the hydrolyzed protein found in a deep conditioner.
deeblaq+ it depends on where in the ingredient list the Hydrolyzed protein is. If it's one of the first three then I would say it potent enough. If not, then the amount is pretty insignificant.
This video was extremely helpful in helping me identify my hair porosity. This whole time I have had this backwards thinking my hair was low porosity. The upside is that my regimen is actually a high porosity regimen although I thought its was a low porosity regimen! Thanks for the info!
I have thick strands of (coarse) medium/high density high porosity hair that tangles easily and dries quickly. My hair has no natural shine to it loves heavy products and oils/butters and if it is humid outside my hair will shrink up if stretched or revert if it’s been straightened. My hair loves aloe vera in products but not straight up juice. My hair really likes olaplex and protein treatments in moderation. Thank you so much for your informative videos they really help me to understand my hair.
GB sometimes I wonder- how did you become so knowledgeable? Seriously- you’re fantastic. Thanks for sharing
🥺thats why my hair had soooo much breakage this winter ohh myy gosh 😖i ended up big chopping bc I couldn’t take it and it was splitting
I have low porosity hair, I hope you make a video about it like this one! ;)
Oh yes, me too. A video all about Low porosity is next 🙂
Thank you so much! Looking forward!
Green Beauty Channel ™ so if I am experiencing most of what you mentioned in this video like the individual hair strands are thin,tangles Easley,ans gets dry quick does that mean my hair is high porosity
I have just come across your UA-cam channel and I am HOOKED! Now, I've figured out why I have had a major love-hate relationship with my natural hair. Your educational approach has helped me choose my products and care for my high porosity hair in a much more effective way! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Keep a. Spray bottle in my bag always lol
The way you did this video is bomb af
