“Keep this Book of the Law always in your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you shall be prosperous and successful “ - Joshua 1:8
omg i've watched like three of your videos now and I've loved them all, I love that you talk about hair with such scientific detail, it really helps me!! What are you currently studying if you don't mind me asking
Ignoring normal porosity like a middle child. Lol. Great video. Another tricky thing about porosity is that you can have several different porosities in one head of hair.
I'm low porosity ALL DAY! Water and hair products roll of my hair like water on a duck's back! I have to really penetrate it to get to my scalp!Lol when my mom used to ask my grandmother to wash my hair my grandmother would say "you know your hair waterproof right?" 🤣🤣🤣
@@eugeniakelcy8676 detangling is a nightmare... I have low porosity hair and two strands will tangle together! I am going to try your method of tension detangling with heat. I know that I just re named it and I apologize it's 2am here.
@@eugeniakelcy8676 I did already watch that video and I don't really think I can do that but I'll try. I did recently wash my hair in plaits and it was a good experience and when I removed them. I know that I can't do it forever but it did keep me from loosing my strands. P.s. thank you for answering you're very kind 🤗
"the way parents treat their middle kid, we are just going to ignore it" hahahaha me as middle child watching this, yep pretty much HAHAHA #WEMATTERTHO
You most likely need to cut your hair, not a trim but a cut to get rid of all the dead/split/raggedy ends. This will allow your hair to retain length as it grows.
Ever sense I started watching you I've been taking note. I'm starting a hair growth journey and have really took all your tips to heart, I see how passionate you are about your hair especially black girls hair that have 4C type hair. Thank you for even considering sharing the tips and your past hair experience (knowing that you have the longest hair in your family) send inspiration.
I definitely high porosity, my hair loves, loves, loves water and gets defined by just water, thinner leave ins dry my hair quickly so i realized that my hair holds thicker products longer. Plz do a vid on high porosity
I soooooo appreciate this video!!!!! I had no idea that my hair wasn't being moisturized all these years because of it's POROSITY!!!! I finally figured out THROUGH THIS VIDEO that I'm HIGH POROSITY. Now that I know I can better moisturize my hair. YOU ARE THE BEST BABY GIRL!!!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Please post more videos! Your hair is amazing and satisfying to watch! As a 13 year old, you inspire me to big chop and grow my hair long like yours. Love your hair, it’s B-E-A utiful. Thanks for your tips, and keep it up 👍 😊
Is a big chop necessary for you? Some people do a big chop and it was not necessary. Unless if your hair has been damaged by perms, dyes, too much heat, etc then don't big chop. If you have some length then go from there. When I was growing out my hair the kinky twists worked well for me. 4c hair seems to love twists. Also, stay away from weaves. Very few people actually keep up with hair care when their hair is in a weave. Get rid of heat altogether. Throw out those perms. Also pray ❤
love always I agree with the praying part. I feel like one of the few things that helped my face clear up and my hair grow noticeably enough, was when I was praying to God and telling him how thankful I was for my hair, and skin. I know that might sound crazy, but being appreciative and saying positive things about the stuff you need work on instead of constantly hating it, could make a huge difference.
love always Yes a big chop is necessary for me. My hair is damaged with perms and I’ve never gotten actual trims before. It’s always dry and frizzy and it breaks off
I have been growing my hair for almost 6 years and it’s not nearly as think or long as your hair. It’s also extremely try no matter how much I moisturize. But your hair is truly beautiful
Wow! I never new that I have low porosity hair, but my hair is in protective styling 99.9% of the time even when I wash or MOISTURIZE because I can't comb and because I want to always keep it soft. I've been ignorantly doing the right thing all lo these while
Another tip if you don’t want to wash your hair with hot water, you can rinse your hair with warm or cold water and invest in a steamer. I bought a face steamer off amazon for about $30 and I use it for my hair. While steaming apply your leave in conditioners, moisturizers etc. on the moist hair. It soaks the products up sooooo well! & after your normal wash and conditioning you can plug your steamer up and apply the products while it’s under the steamer and twist up your hair. I swear my hair loves it, but this is advice for my LOW POROSITY HAIR naturals.
I'm transitioning my hair, relax to natural hair from one year and I've noticed that I'm low porosity, I want to retain more length. I enjoy watching your hair journey. I would like to see more videos about natural conditioner products, mask my journey.
I’m high porosity and apparently it’s fairly ok to be. Our hair does tangle easily but any product we put in our hair it benefits from as long as the product isn’t harmful because it drinks it up. Also our hair dries much quicker and we don’t have to sit under dryers for products to penetrate which are also a plus. All we need is a plastic cap and about 15 min because that product penetrated our hair the moment we put it in!!! Hi give to the high po girls🙌🏾. And if you type in high porosity hair care there are naturals that’s will come up who are high po’s. Hope this helps luv☺️
I know I'm high porosity because my hair gets so dry during the day and feels moisturized or almost like it is damp in the night. Especially in rainy season
So glad ur on UA-cam because you’re giving me extra motivation since my big chop since May last and it has really been growing but you’ve been giving me a lot of hope
oh and i do not know how to take care of my hair because when i was in nigeria we had to shave our hair for school, i started growing it out when i came to america it's bee maybe 6 yrs and i have not seen any growth after 3 years
I've been growing my hair and it's been breaking but thanks to this video ik I have low prorosity hair bc I remember at swimming pools when I came out my skin would be dry and my hair would be soaking wet still or even after showers thanks for this video
Okay I have a question based on the information given, my hair takes about 2-3 days to air dry, but my hair gets super dry and I have to use a lot of product to keep it moisturised, am I not using the correct products or is this due to the porosity being mixed?
I been trying to figure out this porosity by doing all kinds of test. After seeing your video and doing the strand test. I am mostly low porosity. I always wondered why I can put in layers of moisturizer (LOC) before my hair starts having slippage-this is after a plastic cap and one hour of deep conditioning. All makes sense now.
If your hair is low porosity then it’s best to do the LCO ( liquid,cream,oil) method, not the LOC method. I had to Google it. I started getting better results by doing this and also with low porosity hair you got to deep condition after every shampoo with a plastic cap under heat for 20-30 minutes then rinse with cool water to close pores and lock in moisture. The heat opens up the hair cuticles. High porosity hair cuticles stay open but those of us with low porosity hair have to use heat to open up the hair cuticles after shampooing when deep conditioning. I started doing this and my hair is really thriving. Also, get a shampoo brush which stimulates blood flow to the scalp and encourages hair growth.
Would you recommend the same thing for locs. They're growing but I can't seem to keep it moisturized. My hair eats up whatever I put in my hair and my scalp stay dry and itchy
Ok I just figured out that I have medium because my daughter have a crap load of products that doesn't work for her so I was like I don't care I'll use it. Her hair would feel like straw and my hair really soft no matter what I use. Now I have to figure out if she is high or low, thanks.
I like this video. I am not sure if my hair is 4c, and I am not really sure how to figure that out. If you have some ideas or a video on that, I would much appreciate it. Regarding, the porosity type of my hair, I believe I have low porosity but I will check it out this weekend because it's wash day tomorrow. I am also curious about sensitive scalp treatments if you have any suggestions. I noticed that my scalp does not like conditioners at all. I am not sure which ingredient exactly that it does not like, but my hair does not like any of the conditioners I have used that it came in contact with.
egg treatment and rice water are protein treatment. A no no for low porosity hair espcially if they are coarse. You need steam, humectant and avoid protein. Sometimes oils and butters don't agree with low porosity. You can try the 30 days hair detox challenge from black gurl curls
There was something u said in your previous video correct me if I’m wrong, u said to use warm water to wash the hair or cold water if we could, hot water isn’t too good for the hair. I’m this video you’re saying to use hot water for low porosity hair so the products can get it.
That's because where they are the hot water has a high content of lead which caused shedding. If you don't have that issue with water I suppose you can use hot.
steam your soaking wet hair right after shampoo. Then put your conditioner in your still soaking wet hair. Rinse it. Use a leave in with film forming ingredient, humectant then use your gel. you can watch iamblackgurlcurl
Love the video. The same thing happens to me when I put product and twist or do plats the product just sits on my hair and I can just swipe it off. How can I get my hair to grow long like your? I put no heat and I sleep over night in shower cap with treatments once or twice a month. I need length like your and more as my hair shrinks badly especially in humidity, so with lots of length I can finally where it loose. Please help me 🙏🏽
hiii, i was wondering if you could help me w my hair? i dont know what porosity it is because it's hard for moisture to be absorbed into my hair but it's also hard for me to retain that moisture. and my hair also dries rllly quickly. i thought i was high porosity then i did the float test and it turns out my hair is low porosity. i'm sooo confused😭
Hi a new subscriber ..this is good information and didnt think about that for the water hair test, but my hair has always taken awhile to dry...so the shower is a good test..thanks
Thanks for sharing 🙋🏽♀️ so yes I’m low porosity an protein sensitive, so how can I incorporate your mask an other product, is this done weekly the hair mask? Also I do a henna treatment once a month an would like to keep that but how can I incorporate your mask with out getting an protein overload thanks again
Shea butter, Jamaican black castor oil, the LOCS method (liquid/leave in, oil, cream, sealant) olive oil, hemp seed oil, protein treatments and many more :)
I ,am mixed half Indian. Iris black my hair is straight. I put olive oil on my hair then I braid it .I wear my hair in one medium size braid everyday .do I key it loose or keep wearing the braid
Follow channels of HP YTers like Afro Khadisiac, nappyheadedjojoba, JonellSequiraXO, NaturalReign etc. Also informational/DIY/ayurvedic channels such as Greenbeauty, Naptural85, CurlyProverbs, Viola, DiscoveringNatural, Back2NaturalGirls, NaturalBarnet, nowiamnappy, heykeonehair, yaya, DuchessGabrielle, etc. According to Greenbeauty, an HP hair regimen needs to focus on protein treatments, products with mucilage, anti-dryness and extra TLC. Wash day: I wash every 2 weeks for hydration and clean scalp. Pre-poo with aloe vera gel and coconut oil. Shampoo with African black soap, an HP shampoo like Sheamoisture mongongo hemp, or your shampoo mixed with ACV and water. Always deep condition on wash day!!! Alternate between moisturizing and strenghtening wash days. Protein treatments/Protein deep conditioners DIY: the Greenbeauty one, gelatine mask, mask with moringa powder, irish moss, yogurt, avocado, eggs, banana, mayonaise. Strengtening DIY glosses with conditioner and henna or cassia or fenegreek are also good. Or storebought DCs with focus on moisturizing or strengthening ingredients: look for oils, butters, aloe vera, ACV, protein in the ingredients list. Products with mucilage/slip: aloe vera gel/juice, irish moss, marshmallow root, slippery elm, fenegreek, flaxseed/oatmeal/chia seed gel. Anti-dryness: moisturize with loc (liquid, cream, oil/butter) or lcao (liquid, cream, aloe vera gel/juice, oil/butter) method. In the last step, seal with heavy butters/oils like castor oil and shea and/or mango butter. Lighter oils for thin strands are grapeseed, almond, jojoba oil. Focus extra on the ends with all products so they don't break off. Shut the cuticle afterwards with ACV spritz. Massage scalp every 2-3 days with a mix of penetrating oils like olive, avocado, coconut oil. If you infuse fresh aloe vera leaf bits or ajurvedic herbs in it with the double boiler method your hair will grow even faster! Give your hair extra TLC by finger detangling, sleeping with satin or silk bonnets/pillow cases, twisting/braiding yiur hair to reduce tangles, not using sharp hair accessories, and leaving it alone with protective styles but well maintained. I hope this helps fellow strugglingtokeepthemoisturein HP gals:) !

Same smh
That's sad
Wendy Rose Maybe because your ends are breaking of the same time new growth is coming out of your scalp.
You most likely need to cut your hair, not a trim but a cut to get rid of all the dead/split/raggedy ends. This will allow your hair to retain length as it grows.

Follow channels of HP YTers like Afro Khadisiac, nappyheadedjojoba, JonellSequiraXO, NaturalReign etc. Also informational/DIY/ayurvedic channels such as Greenbeauty, Naptural85, CurlyProverbs, Viola, DiscoveringNatural, Back2NaturalGirls, NaturalBarnet, nowiamnappy, heykeonehair, yaya, DuchessGabrielle, etc. According to Greenbeauty, an HP hair regimen needs to focus on protein treatments, products with mucilage, anti-dryness and extra TLC. Wash day: I wash every 2 weeks for hydration and clean scalp. Pre-poo with aloe vera gel and coconut oil. Shampoo with African black soap, an HP shampoo like Sheamoisture mongongo hemp, or your shampoo mixed with ACV and water. Always deep condition on wash day!!! Alternate between moisturizing and strenghtening wash days. Protein treatments/Protein deep conditioners DIY: the Greenbeauty one, gelatine mask, mask with moringa powder, irish moss, yogurt, avocado, eggs, banana, mayonaise. Strengtening DIY glosses with conditioner and henna or cassia or fenegreek are also good. Or storebought DCs with focus on moisturizing or strengthening ingredients: look for oils, butters, aloe vera, ACV, protein in the ingredients list. Products with mucilage/slip: aloe vera gel/juice, irish moss, marshmallow root, slippery elm, fenegreek, flaxseed/oatmeal/chia seed gel. Anti-dryness: moisturize with loc (liquid, cream, oil/butter) or lcao (liquid, cream, aloe vera gel/juice, oil/butter) method. In the last step, seal with heavy butters/oils like castor oil and shea and/or mango butter. Lighter oils for thin strands are grapeseed, almond, jojoba oil. Focus extra on the ends with all products so they don't break off. Shut the cuticle afterwards with ACV spritz. Massage scalp every 2-3 days with a mix of penetrating oils like olive, avocado, coconut oil. If you infuse fresh aloe vera leaf bits or ajurvedic herbs in it with the double boiler method your hair will grow even faster! Give your hair extra TLC by finger detangling, sleeping with satin or silk bonnets/pillow cases, twisting/braiding yiur hair to reduce tangles, not using sharp hair accessories, and leaving it alone with protective styles but well maintained. I hope this helps fellow strugglingtokeepthemoisturein HP gals:) !
