Moisture overload is the reason that deep conditioners tell you to only leave it on for 10 minutes or whatever amount of time it says on the back. If your hair is healthy you should only be using it for that amount of time. And you should only go over that time if your hair is ridiculously damaged and dry.
Exactly and I’ve heard from licensed curly hair stylist that unless your hair is really damaged you don’t have to deep condition every week. Using a quality conditioner goes a long ways.
@@courtneyneal1385 exactly, I only use a deep conditioner when I clarify my hair, which is maybe once a month and I just use it in place of my normal conditioner. And that's because my hair has never been colored, and it's been heat styled like 4 times, so it's not damaged.
I ended up with overmoisturized hair because I followed Bianca's advice to "deep condition at least once a week". The reality is, how often you deep condition depends on your hair and even climate conditions. I live in a hot and humid weather, so not only I was drinking a lot of water, deep conditioning weekly, my hair was also absorbing water from the environment. This is why you should listen to your hair and not an influencer's opinion based on THEIR hair and experiences 🤦🏽♀️
@@SaraHinata I completely agree! I feel like so many influencers act like their experience is the only experience, and you should treat your hair how they treat theirs. But you shouldn't, that's also why I hate when influencers say that everyone should use a certain product because then you get people saying it didn't work because it's not what they needed. People need to start listening to registered hairstylists and their own hair, not just influencers.
BEAUTIFULLL!!! I'm telling you, Sunday is my wash day and I get lazy 🙈. But every Sunday (after watching your video) you encourage me to hop up in the shower and wash my hair. Thank you so much for being such a GREAT influencer to follow 🤗😘
Oh my gosh, you answered my prayers - I think I overloaded on protein yesterday! I’ve been using the protein power treatment from Shea Moisture EVERY WEEK for 6 weeks and then yesterday I used CurlKeepers silk protein conditioner (left it on for around 20 minutes because I got carried away) and my hair became sooooo frizzy and feels super dry😢 I was wondering what the hell has happened. I needed this video!
Would you mind PLEASE finding curly girl products for people that have eczema on their scalp and making a video on them please? I feel so guilty having to use head and shoulders to sooth my scalp when it breaks out but it's the only thing that heals it.
@@donnabent8317No, because I have to be careful with ointments because of how sensitive my skin is. I have too much product on it I break out in big red patches that itch. Does it soak into the scalp super fast?
@Dragongirl My doctor doesn't know what's causing it because I already eat a healthy diet and I try not to stress about things too much but she thinks it could be stress that causes my flare ups
@@donnabent8317 I never have tried it because my doctor told me head and shoulders would fix it and it does. It helps the flare ups with just one wash.
@@lunaas1029 my hair really loved the ecoslay banana cream deep conditioner for moisture and now it really loves the curl smith bond curl rehab salve. You could try the rehab salve and then wash your hair and use a moisturizing deep conditioner and maybe that might help. I also really enjoy the herbal hair mask from The Innate Life. Their scalp treatment and Rose hair elixir are also AMAZING.
Me: comes on to say “Girl I see you matching that lipstick to the label! Switching it up!” Also me: *Sees that topic is covered* 🤦🏽♀️ You still cute though!
PRETTYYYY also not a lot of people can afford curlsmith products so I think a "cheaper" alternative would be the SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie Coconut and Hibiscus I believe it has some Protein in it :D
@@MiVidaBellisima This is why I buy the jumbo co-wash from Curlsmith! Yeah it's expensive, but it'll last me a couple months so I'm not buying it as often as shampoo and conditioner. (Although tbh a lot of curl products that aren't from the big name companies like Pantene, Herbal Essence, Granier Fructis, etc are hella expensive.)
I concur. Plus, Shea Moisture products do not contain phenoxyethanol , like Curl Smith, which is why I’m not going to try them. Why use chemicals on your hair and body or in your home when there are great alternatives, in my opinion.
It has silk protein , a unique protein that strenghtens and moisturizes but for porous and or damaged hair they might need more than the coconut and hibiscus line
My hair is healthy but it was destroyed by medication that made my hair to fall out temporarily and now I’m in a recovery journey to save the rest of my hair
Thank you for explaining the different types of porosity. The illustrations definitely painted a clearer picture for me. Btw, your makeup is beautiful. Love the highlight on your cheeks 😊
I have heard a billion definitions/explanations of porosity. Yours by far is the easiest to understand & retain. Thx. By the way you have the most poppin', gorgeous curls.
I’m like medium porosity, I’m low naturally but i dye my hair and i can tell there’s a change but not a total change. My hair still acts as if it’s low porosity. I deep condition with a protein once a month and i use a moisture deep conditioners weekly. I think it keeps my hair very balanced, i hope this can help others !!
@@BiancaReneeToday hey so basically I have 2b 2c hair and I want to buy the Jamaican black castor oil shampoo and I want to use the Shea moisture mankia yogurt and honey conditioner the blue one u reviewed I wash my hair once a week and I’m thinking to use the conditioner like that will that be protein overload or not please awnser I have commenting on so many people vids but I have no awnser:(
@@larissalaguna7722 i love the mielle orgánics Rosemary deep conditioner, the Jamaican black castor deep conditioner by Shea moisture, and i just started using the raw sugar repair deep conditioner which is sold at target and is amazing
Literally here before youtube notified me of the new video✨ low porosity is like quarantine restaurants AINT NOTHING COMING IN AND AINT NOTHING GOIN OUT I want these new CurlSmith so baaaaddddddd but we over here saving money and trying to make my product stash smaller Also I’m a weirdo lol I have protein loving low porosity 2c-ish virgin hair (if I cut it,it would probably be 3a)
I haven’t done a protein treatment yet. I have the right oil for a hot oil protein treatment, but can’t figure when to do it. And with our lockdown, I’m incredibly low on conditioner options as they don’t sell much for me that isn’t expensive as hell
I love the cream ! My hair is also medium porosity now as it changed from low. I can’t wait to use the other protein products in this line 💜💕💜💕💜💕💕💕💜💕💕💜💕💜
Great video as always. Still learning this balance. Definitely needing more protein. Double quencher which I have used before and hydro creme soothing mask are on tap for today’s wash day.
I've noticed this when cocktailing styling products in my hair! If I use a very moisturizing, protein free, styling cream, my hair tends to look better when I pair it with a gel that has protein. (Or vice versa). It's cool to see you talk about this, since balance is something I'm trying to work on for my hair now 😁
I don't think I need a lot of protein, been DC'g for two weeks now and my hair feels weird. I thi k once a month is fine for my fine, "ill take in anything" type in hair ... Soaks up everything including humidity. Eeek!
I just started my transition, deep condition every monday for 20 mins and use leave in then a cream or gel. When I use gel like curl talk or dippity due, the second day my hair feels so brittle and dry, stiff... is this because of not having moisture? Creams seems a bit better. Will this just continue to get better? Planning on trying the curlsmith brand too! I did love the curl talk cream and mousse combo!!
Okay B! Love that lipstick color on u! I bought the protein line from CS and tried to “SwitchItUp.” I’m normally not a foam/ mousse person, but I tried both of these as directed on the bottle. I hated it!!!!! Didn’t like the feel of the foam in my hair as it went in. I had no shine whatsoever after it dried. Not sure if I used too much product or just that foam ain’t for me😏 I’m going to give it a second try by itself or the cream by itself and see if it’s better. Idk....I wanted to love it because it does smell so great and the healthy ingredients. I have medium/high porosity fine hair with coarseness at the nape of my neck and forehead region with tons of hair. Trying to find that balance is a struggle for me; also began my natural hair transition as of 1/1/2019 from heat damage, relaxers, and color; so it’s a working process any way🤪 Loved the content!
Counterintuitive tip: if you hair feels dry and brittle/stringy, and you're adding crazy moisture and it's not helping, try adding protein or using a bond-builder. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my hair, but when I did a strand test I found my brittle, stringy hair was super stretchy, so I did a quick protein treatment and it solved the problem almost immediately!
What are your thoughts on co-washing with low prosperity hair? I can’t seem to find the right shampoo for my hair so I’m trying co-washing and I’m not sure if it’s a good idea for my hair growth journey😬
You are 100% right about knowing ur hair porosity. I am low porosity and for the longest I used Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor oil line (WHICH I LOVE) but my hair got so dry and I couldn't get Moisture in for anything. then I realized it is a protein line and there was the problem. so a balance is def needed.
Hey there!! Can you pleaseeee do a video about the Greenhouse Effect vs Baggy Method. I wonder if it's effective and worth doing at all. I literally just heard of this and know that you can break down the who, what, when, why and if it's worth it. Thank you🙏🏾
Love how you break it down but I’m so confused lol my hair takes awhile to get really wet and based on the tests I’m low porosity but I have so much frizz which I’m told is high porosity. Soooo... can I be both?
hey, you don’t necessarily need these exact products. they are def good and will help, but don’t feel like you have to spend a ton of money to help you hair. not saying these products aren’t good, but they aren’t the only ones that can help you. best of luck man
Can you make a video on water quality (hard and soft) and its effects on curls, and how to adjust your curls when you relocate from a hard water zone to low water zone and vise versa.
Bianca Renee... Any suggestions or videos on how to promote hair thickness for curly hair? I.E. best shampoo & conditioner, treatments or vitamins. Gracias... :)
Prayer hands method seems to super clump my hair underneath. Then when it dries I have major fuzzy clumps underneath. What am I doing wrong?...i love your results with this product! And purple looks great on you 💜
I wonder if my hair Doent like protein. I have tried the curls smith bonder and before that I tried the shea moister protein treatment and both my hair super frizzy, no curl shape just frizz. I wonder why that is? I guess I should say, I am currently transitioning back to natural from chemically straightening my hair for YEARS. Your girl needs help😭
I have started subscribing to you channel within the last month or so. You hair is really showing major growth and health. I saw in a previous post that you were using the Curlsmith ultimate lengths 30-day therapy, along with the scalp stimulating booste and the full lengths density elixir. Are you still using those products? Your hair looks beautiful!!
Perfect timing for this video! I've been struggling with this balance. Before the cold weather came, I had it down. But with the weather change it's been a struggle. I get frustrated because I can never tell until I've completed my whole styling routine. I have used this CurlSmith line, but I think when using all of the products together, it's too much protein, not enough moisture. I can't seem to get the balance.
This was a great video explaining how to balance your hairs porosity and not to overuse the protein treatments but Giiirl it's lockdown we at home we bored and theres nothing to do except damage my hair or treat my hair🤷🏼♂️🙈😂 but I hear u and I'll cut down on the protein to once a month since I do have low porosity hair

I don’t deep condition weekly my stylist gave me a list of products and deep conditioner wasn’t in the mix. She recommended deep conditioner to address issues with hair which I have non. I just use a quality shampoo and conditioner and styler.
I am having so much problems with frizz. My 2nd day hair looks so frizzy and I don't know what to do. I thought I needed more moisture, but maybe it's more protein? I have no idea anymore and still haven't figured out a good balance. I'm growing my hair out after chemo so I had to relearn how to style my hair and what products to use. It's getting a little frustrating trying to figure it all out. I've been deep conditioning once a week and using a protein treatment (I don't think it's a good one) once a month. I also feel like I'm shedding way too much on wash days. I hope to figure it out soon.
Bianca help a new mama my hair is the best it's looked but it's gotten too long (down to my butt) and heavy cause, pandemic, and I have no time to care for it! With an 8 months old baby who happens to be the lightest sleeper on this planet! Last time it took me TWO WEEKS between wash days it's a disaster took an hour to detangle 😭 what can I do before I snap and shave it off?
I think I used way too much deep conditioning and moisturizing products that my hair became too dry and now soaks up a lot of water yet becomes very dry and frizzy I tried switching to clarifying shampoo and moisturizing conditioner but no luck I use a leave in conditioner and gel for stying products Help! What should I do!
I have said this soo many times..but oh my lord your hair growth journey is outta this world😍. Much needed video. I've been using the same product over and over again for months until its over. My hair is dry all the time cuz of protein overlod☹
Figuring out the balance between moisture and protein for my hair has always been a struggle for me. Definitely considering the bond builder from Curlsmith, and the in-shower styler Geo has definitely become the MVP in my products drawer 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
But can I use the styling cream and foam after every wash ? Will It be too much protein for my hair Or just use those products when I use the bonding treatment ?
I wonder if my hair doesnt like protein. I have tried the curl smith bonder and the shea moister protein treatment and both made my hair very frizzy and didnt help the curl definition for me. I wonder why ?
I will be posting more unsponsored videos but there is literally no difference between the two except that one helps me make a living and the other does not. What I have to say will be exactly the same.
@@BiancaReneeToday Its not easy to just take ur word for it, curlsmith is still paying you to promote their brand. Unsponsored videos no matter who makes them will always be more raw and believable Bianca
If your interest you could check out this video ua-cam.com/video/FdQnlQRlM2w/v-deo.html She talks about how moisturized hair is a common misconception and is not what you think it is.
I'm in UK 🇬🇧 and some CS products are available from Curl Smith. Co.uk. others products I have get sent shipped over by family and friends from the USA (not cheap).
I agree! Apparently it's due to Brexit but we've always had to wait longer for the new releases. I was most disappointed that they discontinued the in shower fixer gel over here. That stuff was amazing😭
@@rippleb3355 yea deffo was happening before brexit. I remember checking the website everyday for I don’t know how long for the scalp recipe. Didn’t know they discontinued the gel, hope they don’t do more 😱
I'm in the UK and we can only get some CS products. I have to get my prima and amiga ( who live in Sad Diego and Utah) to send me them over from 🇺🇸 USA
Anyone else now looking at their hair and analyzing to see if they can tell if they need protein or moisture even though they have no idea what theyre doing..... love your videos wish there was a new one everyday
hi bianca, what if i have high porosity hair? and i use a deep conditioner that has a balance of both protein and moisture, can I leave it on my hair for a whole hour? cause i did try that and i really like my curls especially after styling! i got tighter curls so more definition which I LOVE !
I love how her lipstick matches the purple on the curlsmith products 💜
I was just going to say that. Perfect match, I love it!
Hehe thanks for noticing 😉💜
It’s the little touches.

I have used this CurlSmith line, but I think when using all of the products together, it's too much protein, not enough moisture. I can't seem to get the balance.
This was a great video explaining how to balance your hairs porosity and not to overuse the protein treatments but Giiirl it's lockdown we at home we bored and theres nothing to do except damage my hair or treat my hair🤷🏼♂️🙈😂 but I hear u and I'll cut down on the protein to once a month since I do have low porosity hair

I don’t deep condition weekly my stylist gave me a list of products and deep conditioner wasn’t in the mix. She recommended deep conditioner to address issues with hair which I have non. I just use a quality shampoo and conditioner and styler.
I am having so much problems with frizz. My 2nd day hair looks so frizzy and I don't know what to do. I thought I needed more moisture, but maybe it's more protein? I have no idea anymore and still haven't figured out a good balance. I'm growing my hair out after chemo so I had to relearn how to style my hair and what products to use. It's getting a little frustrating trying to figure it all out. I've been deep conditioning once a week and using a protein treatment (I don't think it's a good one) once a month. I also feel like I'm shedding way too much on wash days. I hope to figure it out soon.
Bianca help a new mama my hair is the best it's looked but it's gotten too long (down to my butt) and heavy cause, pandemic, and I have no time to care for it! With an 8 months old baby who happens to be the lightest sleeper on this planet! Last time it took me TWO WEEKS between wash days it's a disaster took an hour to detangle 😭 what can I do before I snap and shave it off?
Thank you so much for always blessing us with your knowledge in every video! You’ve truly saved my hair I appreciate you so much 🙏🏼
I think I used way too much deep conditioning and moisturizing products that my hair became too dry and now soaks up a lot of water yet becomes very dry and frizzy
I tried switching to clarifying shampoo and moisturizing conditioner but no luck
I use a leave in conditioner and gel for stying products
Help! What should I do!
The “in the shower “ gel is amazing! My hair gets super defined 😊
You are my number one curl-friend! Love your humbleness. ☯️☮️🌈
I have said this soo many times..but oh my lord your hair growth journey is outta this world😍.
Much needed video. I've been using the same product over and over again for months until its over. My hair is dry all the time cuz of protein overlod☹
Figuring out the balance between moisture and protein for my hair has always been a struggle for me. Definitely considering the bond builder from Curlsmith, and the in-shower styler Geo has definitely become the MVP in my products drawer 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I feel like my hair has mixed porosities. The thick middle is high and everywhere else is low. Is that even possible?
Definitely possible! You might have some areas more damaged than others, and that affects porosity
Omg almost 600K. Can't wait for 1M 🥳
Luv luv luv her. She is Awesome!!! Will you try Ms Ellis new treatment products?
Crazy thing, I tried the new curl smith line and I added the same gel before even watching this video 😂 I’m glad we are in the same page
But can I use the styling cream and foam after every wash ? Will It be too much protein for my hair Or just use those products when I use the bonding treatment ?
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. It has helped so much
Hello..... How do you find out what porosity the hair is?? :) thank you for your videos.
Yep, added too much protein to my hair and it all broke off 😞
Is it acceptable to mix moisture products with protein products? I just so unsure 😐 of my hair porosity.
I wonder if my hair doesnt like protein. I have tried the curl smith bonder and the shea moister protein treatment and both made my hair very frizzy and didnt help the curl definition for me. I wonder why ?
Would love to see some more unsponsored videos
I will be posting more unsponsored videos but there is literally no difference between the two except that one helps me make a living and the other does not. What I have to say will be exactly the same.
totally agree, its not always about the money is it
@@BiancaReneeToday Its not easy to just take ur word for it, curlsmith is still paying you to promote their brand. Unsponsored videos no matter who makes them will always be more raw and believable Bianca
How can you Tell if your Hair Is Low porosity or High porosity or Medium porosity
Right on time Bianca...saw this kit, know my hair is out of balance just was didn't know what to do with it. Beautiful results. Can't wait to try it.
my low porosity 4a hair is VERY HARD to over conditon. i deep conditon once a week for an hour. and it works fine
If your interest you could check out this video ua-cam.com/video/FdQnlQRlM2w/v-deo.html She talks about how moisturized hair is a common misconception and is not what you think it is.
Such an educational video! I really appreciated this :)
Where are my low porosity people at?
Your results are amazing, can’t wait for this to be available in UK 🇬🇧
I'm in UK 🇬🇧 and some CS products are available from Curl Smith. Co.uk. others products I have get sent shipped over by family and friends from the USA (not cheap).
Hey apparently it should be available Feb 28th. X
So annoying we have to wait ages for CS products in the UK!!! Still waiting for the vibrancy shampoo
I agree! Apparently it's due to Brexit but we've always had to wait longer for the new releases. I was most disappointed that they discontinued the in shower fixer gel over here. That stuff was amazing😭
@@rippleb3355 yea deffo was happening before brexit. I remember checking the website everyday for I don’t know how long for the scalp recipe. Didn’t know they discontinued the gel, hope they don’t do more 😱
as always............thank you for the great video explanation
Thank you 🥰❤️
Did you have a lot of hair fall out after baby was born? how can help prevent or treat pregnancy hair damage?
We love to see it. I really wish CS was sold in South Africa
I'm in the UK and we can only get some CS products. I have to get my prima and amiga ( who live in Sad Diego and Utah) to send me them over from 🇺🇸 USA
Yes, it is my wish too. Cape Town Nattie over here
🤣🤣
Anyone else now looking at their hair and analyzing to see if they can tell if they need protein or moisture even though they have no idea what theyre doing..... love your videos wish there was a new one everyday
😂😂 I believe in you!
Thank you for always teaching us.
Your hair is getting long and beautiful 😍
Thanks love the video #IGFam #matchy #spicegirls #thedramaticzoom😀😳👀
Do you use a protein treatment the same way as a deep conditioner (with heat, I mean)?
I can not wait! Till these new curl smith products come to Scotland 🏴. Please please please hurry up! I need these in my life! 😂 X
hi bianca, what if i have high porosity hair? and i use a deep conditioner that has a balance of both protein and moisture, can I leave it on my hair for a whole hour? cause i did try that and i really like my curls especially after styling! i got tighter curls so more definition which I LOVE !
