I've had frizzy hair my whole life and finally learning about taking care of wavy hair has changed my life. Having the right products, the right routine and even the right haircut makes a huuuuggggeeeee difference!
do you have fine hair? i’m having a hard time, bought some wavy hair shampoo which did help my hair hold the waves a bit more, so i got excited and bought a leave in and air creme and my hair was straighter after applying the product! i have no idea how or why that would happen considering the shampoo and conditioner worked.
I have really frizzy hair aswell but I did the foc (function of beauty) hair quiz and it gave me custom products based on what my answers were and it really helped my frizzy hair !! Xx
A thing people ALWAYS forget too is: You can have wavy and curly hair at the same time. My hair CAN curl into ringlets when it's shorter and layered. But i have thick and very dense hair so the longer it is the less it CAN curl, leaving more wavy looking areas. Hair can be as complicated as skin type.
OMG, THANK YOUUUUU ❤, I always struggle with those tests. For this reason, the shorter parts of my hair always become curls, but the rest of my hair (which is pretty long) just became wavy. This is a game changer.
Also your hair can have different textures in different places. The back of my head is curly, like I don't do anything to it and I get closed curls with no effort. But the front is wavy and it refuses to hold a curl, so I have to work with two different textures at the same time. It led me to cutting it all off lol
The porosity test has a lot that can throw it off. Just observe the hair when you shower, if it gets wet really easily it's high porosity, if it takes a while to get wet and you can see the water droplets roll off your hair it's low porosity.
Also high porosity hair will dry much more quickly than low porosity. I realized this after my hair became high porosity from bleaching and dying it. Suddenly it dried sooo quick
Today I learned I and my whole family had low porosity hair… makes sense when you consider I literally cannot go a wash without oiling my hair or else it’s a nightmare!
If you use the test in the video, be sure to submerge the hair entirely, then check where it is floating. Otherwise you’re only going to be seeing a demonstration of the surface tension of water! :) I’m sure there’s other things (like definitely use about room temperature water) that throw it off, but that’s a big one! Also, porosity changes as your hair becomes damaged, so if you have very long hair that’s damaged at the end, you may see one end sinking and one floating. Good luck everyone!
Finally a clear video on how to know if you have low or high porosity hair and my hair is straight but dries very freezy. I do see some wakes only on the front part of my hair. What can I do to bring out the waves?
Manes by Mell has a video on hair porosity but pretty much with finding ur hair porosity you’ll find ur moisture to protein ratio, and that’s what you use to determine what kind of stuff ur hair products need to have. Also since u have wavy hair, make sure ur products r lightweight and aren’t heavy. Get good quality tools but u can cheap out on hair products. Make sure u at least have a shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, and some sort of styling product, for wavy hair it could be sea salt spray. Good luck!
look for a youtube video on a wavy hair care routine!! depending on how wavy your hair is and what you want it to look like, you should: - detangle in the shower - use shampoo/conditioner meant for wavy hair - either air dry it or dry it with a diffuser - never rub a towel on it, scrunch it with a cotton t shirt instead - for more defined waves, look for a yt video to find info on products
The water test isn't very accurate. Take a shower, does it dry fast? High porosity. Does it take forever to dry? Low porosity. Or you can spray water on your dry hair, if it beads on top then you likely have low porosity hair and if it absorbs into the hair you likely have high porosity.
this is so refreshing to see! as a black girl I knew my hair type from the beginning and I liked to learn about other people hair types, but when ever I asked my white friends about their hair they would give me weird looks and ask what do I mean. It's just nice to see everyone learning about their hair.
I have straight, wavy and large, loose curls all in one, I always air dry my hair and that's just how it naturally dries, I have _NO_ idea what my type is 😅😂 but if it's got a bit wet from sweat or rain I get tiny ringlets on some hairs too, usually the smaller ones around my face and any frizzy bits on the top 🤷🏻♀️
Ugh mine is similar though it never goes fully straight. I can go from fairly loose waves to full on ringlets at times depending on weather and what products Im using at the moment. Im always confused on what I should answer in any hair quizzes for hair type.
As a guy with long hair who is trying to finaly take care of it to prevent loss, thank you for this video! Been recently trying to start taking better care of myself in general, and advice like this is very useful. Hopefully the algorithm throws more of you my way
I agree! There are so many viral hair trends but it seems like no one is paying attention to what their hair type is and whether it's similar to the ones in the viral trends!
Literally so important to know your hair type. I only got a gentle wave going on but growing up it was so oily that it was pin straight and then as I grew up it became dry and frizzy. I was so scared to moisturize my hair cause I didn't want it to be oily again but tiktok literally taught me that my hair was wavy and I just didn't know how to take care of it 😂
@@nilanjasa007 honestly a lot of curly hair techniques still work with wavy hair. I do that tiktok shower hack (rinsing hair down over face rather than back over your back), use leave in conditioner and hair oil, and scrunch up as it dries. If I want it styled or the waves to be more defined on any given I'll use a gel or mousse too.
Well it's just taking care of dead matter, the oily part come from the skin on your head and from transpiration, during teens years it's normal, after that, you hairs are just like strings with a certains patern, your just put tension or not, fill it or not, and cover it or not. Again, hairs are not alive, you can't repair it, you can't change their base, just add products to cause reactions
I'm a hairdresser and there's a so much better way to check porosity faster and without losing hair. If you push your hair backwards against itself (almost like you're teasing it) if it sticks really hard your hair is porous and if it falls straight back it's not.
@@Rozkszesen i think it means try scrunching your hair into a ball (not enough to tangle it) and then release it. If it falls straight, it's not porous and vice versa
What she means is take a one inch square section of hair and comb it straight up, while holding it up start about a few inches from the scalp and make three back combing motions to the scalp. If your hair doesn’t tease much and stays pretty close to how it was when holding it it has a low porosity, and the more teased your hair gets the more porous it is
My hair (thin) use to be greasy the next day after shampooing but I’ve been forcing myself not to shampoo after watching your videos and now it’s not looking greasy till day 3/4 🥹 glad I stuck with it
Also, if you have low hair porosity your hair may actually be even curlier, as low porosity hair absorbs water pretty well and when you air-dry it it’s being weighed down by all the water that’s inside of it.
@@karu4115 Hi! My hair is high porosity and curly. I wasn’t really referring to your pattern being dried away, just saying that it weighs it down. For example, my hair is 3b-3c, but when i let it air dry the water weighs it down and it looks 2c-3a
@@karu4115 OH WAIT, did i say high porosity? I meant LOW porosity, sorry! My hair takes 6-9 hours to air dry with no products so you can imagine how water weights it down
I wouldn't say that's necessarily true, when I bleached my medium porosity hair, it obviously became high porosity and it was actually CURLIER than it normally was!
Thank you so much for these tips. I swear I do nothing to my hair and it gets crazy frizzy, tried wavy hair care routines and products and it immediately stopped being frizzy and looks so much better 😭🙏
Also, you can end up ruining your curl or wave pattern and not even realize it. Been thinking my whole adult life I had straight hair, until I stopped using Pantene every day and just let it do its thing. Slowly, ever so slowly, I'm getting my waves back 😊
Whenever my hair dries naturally it's always so werid. the top is mostly straight or slightly wavy and then the underside is super wavy and sometimes curly like coils, I have no idea how to wear it naturally cause it's not consistent with the curl pattern at all. Any tips??
your hair might be damaged on the top! I have a similar issue, at my top roots and the top layers of hair it's loose curly to wavy but the under layers are ringlets. if you have fine hair and/or high porosity hair your hair will damage easier and that can lead to inconsistency in hair pattern
It's perfectly normal to have multiple curl patterns around your head (I have three or four personally). You can get haircuts that maximize your waves or minimize the curls to kind of even it out, or go for half updos to hide it. However, it probably doesn't look as weird to others as it might to you
Similar case with me. Underside/back of my head hairs are wavy hair and weird shaped curls with a tough texture, darker then all my other hairs, and thicker then all my other hairs too. However, top of my head is all straight with some wavy hair.
The putting hair in water does not show u ur hair porosity! Manes by mell did an excellent video on this topic but u wanna spray ur hair with water instead and if it takes a long time to absorb water it means u have low hair porosity!
Youre the first person with straight ive seen explain this. Its usual people with curly/natural hair, i was honesty shocked when you started talking about porosity lol
Useful info. I have always had medium type waves. My hair dries nicely, but I have deep waves, almost curly. But never knew about porosity. I have high porosity, and I have learned that high porosity hair is more prone to split ends happening more quickly than any other hair type. Just interesting tidbits there. I find that pure coconut oil (refined for use on the hair) works best as a leave in conditioner. Only need a pea sized amount, rubbed onto the hands and worked well into the hair.
I didn't know that about high porosity hair, but it seems that I've really hit the jackpot with easily damageable hair lol high porosity, fine strands..... can't use too much product or the curls get weighed down so my best defense is to control the environmental factors lol
I have 2c curls/waves. I didn’t know until I cut my hair last year and stopped brushing it dry. Now I occasionally do my curl routine and it looks beautiful! However, I only do it once or twice a week because I have sensory issues with my curls 😅
I have that open wave hair type. I’ve had a really short hair style for the past two years or so and now that I’m growing it back out my hair is being rebellious and reminding me that it isn’t pin straight… I’m talking swoops in the most random directions and this one stubborn cowlick directly in the back that insists on standing straight up at the base no matter how long it’s getting. Sure I had it when it was short as well but it was less noticeable with how the top was styled. Now, the rest of my hair will lay where I want it to while this one lock with be sticking an inch out of place and waving like a horse tail. From past experience of growing my hair from a near buzz to a bob, I luckily only have about 2-3 months until it’s long enough to pull back in a small pony tail. Thank you for reading my random rant that vaguely related to the video
Dude I just need to give you credit where credit is due: I have struggled with frizzy hair my WHOLE LIFE. I’ve always thought I had straight hair, no one ever taught me how to care for it past shampoo, conditioner and brushing. Hearing you say straight frizzy hair may be wavy/curly… My dad literally has curls and yet I never even thought it possible for me. Thank you, I'm going to do some research on wavy hair care!
I have no idea how you ended up in my shorts, but I appreciate this. I have always loved my hair, it's always been thick and straight as hell which has always annoyed my nan because my dad has curly hair and my mum relatively recently found she has wavy hair and I've sucked at taking care of my hair so this might actually finally help me
For anyone wondering you can absolutely not know your hair is curly well into your 20s. I just learned in the past couple years (I'm 29) that my hair is curly. I would've called it a frizzy straight before and could not figure out why I couldn't manage my frizz.
I’m 34 and FINALLY Learning how to take care of my hair . It’s now getting close to waist length, zero dye , and tons of trial and error and literally ignoring every advice I got 🤣 my hairs finally super healthy lol. Even last week at parent teacher conferences my kids teacher goes “omg your hair is so beautiful! Im jealous” 🥰🥰🥰
Tbh I have never actually took care of my appearance, I just wash myself to not be dirty but that's it, I never got a haircut nor a hairstyle, I don't have any products for neither skin, hair, nails, etc. I didn't even know of this "test" to get to know your hair better, my hair is curly naturally without even taking proper care of it it just creates the curls naturally. I want to try to start taking care of myself since actually don't like myself (appearance), and all the pretty girls I see in the internet always show how much they work, so maybe if I actually work on myself maybe I can actually like myself. Thank you for this advice!
There are some other factors like scalp sensitivity/dryness, follicle density, etc. also environmental factors can impact the way your hair interacts with products
Okay I haven’t done any of these tests, but I do know that my hair is pretty frizzy (which I’m pretty sure is because of something in my dna) and that my hair takes FOREVER to dry. Like i cannot wash my hair in the mornings, it takes over a hour to dry my hair if I don’t want the blow dryer to be super hot, along with how it takes 3-7 hours to naturally dry. I’ve washed my hair at 10 pm and it’s still not dry at 6 am the next day.
Something between 3 and 4 Discovering what to use in my hair was a very long journey as I am mixed race but I am not black and I am not white. My mother's from Asia and they have extremely black and shiny and smooth hair. My hair was always dark brown with lighter brown streaks when I was younger and it was this beautifully thick, luxurious, slightly wavy hair with curl at the end but ONLY until I hit puberty. Then all the frizz came out My mom didn't know what to do with my hair. No one in her family has anything but straight hair. I think I was in my mid-twenties when I figured it out and I have to use hair care products from the "ethnic" section😂 I just wish it hadn't taken me almost 15 years to figure it out
Actually porosity levels is the only one you need to pay attention to, you can also have mixed porosity thru out your hair. And what one influencer's (who's hair looks similar to yours) routine may not work for you.
if i don’t take care of my hair, it’s more wavy, but if i do, it curls more! my hair is curly wavy and it’s a bit hard for me to take care of it 😭 takes quite some time, time i don’t really have. but it’s kinda relaxing, taking care of my hair late in the night. it’s a burden but i wouldn’t have it any other way.
I have wavy hair (my bangs are corkscrews and waves combined and the rest of my hair is just wavy) and I've cared for it like straight hair because that's what I was taught😭 Gonna start caring for it better, if I find good videos explaining what I need to do
Ive had frizzy hair when it dries and i didnt think anything of it but ever since i started using maui moisture shampoo and conditioner im starting to see a wave pattern that i didnt even know existed
My hair porosity test results: all three 😅 top of the strand at the top floating, most hair floated in the middle and the ends sank to the bottom… I think it’s because I still have box colour damage I’ve been growing out and trimming along the way. Good to know my natural hair growing out seems to be mostly mid porosity and I assume that’s healthy for my curly IV type hair 😊
I just use trial and error. If it works, then I keep doing it. If it don't, then it don't.
Literally same.
We're all scientists 🤓
SAME
same lol
What is that
I've had frizzy hair my whole life and finally learning about taking care of wavy hair has changed my life. Having the right products, the right routine and even the right haircut makes a huuuuggggeeeee difference!

Thanks for the tips! My hair is super straight like yours and I never know what to do with it lol
Determine your porosity and thickness of a single strand! Straight hair comes in variety too!
Make sure your hair stand breaks the surface tension of the water, or else it'll just sit on top 🫶

Now, the rest of my hair will lay where I want it to while this one lock with be sticking an inch out of place and waving like a horse tail. From past experience of growing my hair from a near buzz to a bob, I luckily only have about 2-3 months until it’s long enough to pull back in a small pony tail. Thank you for reading my random rant that vaguely related to the video
thank you!
Dude I just need to give you credit where credit is due: I have struggled with frizzy hair my WHOLE LIFE. I’ve always thought I had straight hair, no one ever taught me how to care for it past shampoo, conditioner and brushing. Hearing you say straight frizzy hair may be wavy/curly… My dad literally has curls and yet I never even thought it possible for me. Thank you, I'm going to do some research on wavy hair care!
Her face in the Bowl at 26 seconds 💀💀💀
I have no idea how you ended up in my shorts, but I appreciate this. I have always loved my hair, it's always been thick and straight as hell which has always annoyed my nan because my dad has curly hair and my mum relatively recently found she has wavy hair and I've sucked at taking care of my hair so this might actually finally help me
ur hair is soooo pretty....
Gonna try this
Omg, you’re the slime girl!! I had no idea you had your own public social media accounts too
Thank you for this!! I didnt even know it was a thing..
I just learned I have open wave hair. Thank you!
You are sooo pretty 😊
Too bad about the skimpy clothes
For anyone wondering you can absolutely not know your hair is curly well into your 20s. I just learned in the past couple years (I'm 29) that my hair is curly. I would've called it a frizzy straight before and could not figure out why I couldn't manage my frizz.
Erin I didn't know u have your own channel! I just subed!
I’m 34 and FINALLY Learning how to take care of my hair . It’s now getting close to waist length, zero dye , and tons of trial and error and literally ignoring every advice I got 🤣 my hairs finally super healthy lol. Even last week at parent teacher conferences my kids teacher goes “omg your hair is so beautiful! Im jealous” 🥰🥰🥰
Tbh I have never actually took care of my appearance, I just wash myself to not be dirty but that's it, I never got a haircut nor a hairstyle, I don't have any products for neither skin, hair, nails, etc. I didn't even know of this "test" to get to know your hair better, my hair is curly naturally without even taking proper care of it it just creates the curls naturally. I want to try to start taking care of myself since actually don't like myself (appearance), and all the pretty girls I see in the internet always show how much they work, so maybe if I actually work on myself maybe I can actually like myself. Thank you for this advice!
you look like rapunzel in the beginning, i love your hair!😊
You learn something new everyday !
*the way erin's face is distorted by the bowl when she holds it up* lol
There are some other factors like scalp sensitivity/dryness, follicle density, etc. also environmental factors can impact the way your hair interacts with products
Love your shirt
Thanks for the help! Now I know how to better help my hair3
Oh this explains a lot. My (non-curly!) hair porosity is so low my hairdresser has difficulty getting it wet and once compared it to beaver fur.
Your hair has grown so long ❤
the way my hair is flatter than any picture i have ever seen of type 1 hair
FINALLY SOMEONE TELLING ME HOW TO KNOW MY POROSITY ASIDE FROM JUST FEELING THE HAIR
oh my god that explains so much
I love this very instructional video
However I’m here for the top? Where is it from??? Beautiful ✨
I LOVE YOUR TOPPP WHERE'D YOU GET ITTT 😭💗
“I have to pull out some of my hair”
My head, shedding: I got chu
I'm really high and i want to cry because she's so pretty and her hair is so nice
Pls share more about low porosity hair. Mine is also low porosity
Okay I haven’t done any of these tests, but I do know that my hair is pretty frizzy (which I’m pretty sure is because of something in my dna) and that my hair takes FOREVER to dry. Like i cannot wash my hair in the mornings, it takes over a hour to dry my hair if I don’t want the blow dryer to be super hot, along with how it takes 3-7 hours to naturally dry. I’ve washed my hair at 10 pm and it’s still not dry at 6 am the next day.
This was very helpful. When I get out of the shower and my hair dries it looks wavy. Thank you for this.
Hey we have EXACTLY the same hair type and the porosity! New here so I would be scrolling through for some hair tips
Something between 3 and 4
Discovering what to use in my hair was a very long journey as I am mixed race but I am not black and I am not white.
My mother's from Asia and they have extremely black and shiny and smooth hair. My hair was always dark brown with lighter brown streaks when I was younger and it was this beautifully thick, luxurious, slightly wavy hair with curl at the end but ONLY until I hit puberty. Then all the frizz came out
My mom didn't know what to do with my hair. No one in her family has anything but straight hair. I think I was in my mid-twenties when I figured it out and I have to use hair care products from the "ethnic" section😂
I just wish it hadn't taken me almost 15 years to figure it out
I know your hair type, Disney princess hair!!🥺 you look like Aurora💗
U look like sydney sweeney 😭💗
U look like tinker bell,ur really pretty btw
for porosity, you can just feel the hair!! when you slide your fingers the wrong direction on a strand, you can feel how raised the cuticle is.
Actually porosity levels is the only one you need to pay attention to, you can also have mixed porosity thru out your hair. And what one influencer's (who's hair looks similar to yours) routine may not work for you.
if i don’t take care of my hair, it’s more wavy, but if i do, it curls more! my hair is curly wavy and it’s a bit hard for me to take care of it 😭 takes quite some time, time i don’t really have. but it’s kinda relaxing, taking care of my hair late in the night. it’s a burden but i wouldn’t have it any other way.
Never knew humans came in pearlescent, you a damn shiny Pokemon
I have wavy hair (my bangs are corkscrews and waves combined and the rest of my hair is just wavy) and I've cared for it like straight hair because that's what I was taught😭 Gonna start caring for it better, if I find good videos explaining what I need to do
Ive had frizzy hair when it dries and i didnt think anything of it but ever since i started using maui moisture shampoo and conditioner im starting to see a wave pattern that i didnt even know existed
My hair porosity test results: all three 😅 top of the strand at the top floating, most hair floated in the middle and the ends sank to the bottom… I think it’s because I still have box colour damage I’ve been growing out and trimming along the way. Good to know my natural hair growing out seems to be mostly mid porosity and I assume that’s healthy for my curly IV type hair 😊
That’s the neatest blonde hair I’ve ever seen! How did you get it all to be in one place??
