My hair felt like a Brillo pad the SECOND time I tried a protein treatment. It took bentonite and months to heal. BUT it did feel strong and healthy after the first time. Perhaps I will try again and wait at least 3 months!!
@user-du5kh8pz7i, it's important to strike the right balance when it comes to protein treatments for low porosity hair. While some protein can help with structure and reducing flyaways, overdoing it can lead to stiffness. Start with a mild protein treatment and monitor how her hair responds to find the sweet spot! 🌿💆♀️
Hi I enjoy your channel and respect your opinion on afro hair. I recently watched a video by Natural Nadine she states that most African American hair is high porosity by nature, when a lot of us are thinking our hair is low porosity (if it hasn't been relaxed or color treated). She references crime scene investigations where police can determine the race of a suspect based on their hair noting that most African American hair has raised cuticles ( high porsity). Please comment on this and tell me your opinion. Thank You!
Hi Tracy! I would say porosity most times depends on your hair type. If a lot of African Americans have tighter curl patterns, then that would most likely classify them as having high porosity. While tighter curl patterns tend to soak up moisture quickly, it is harder to maintain that moisture, thus making the hair high porosity. Of course there are always outliers.
