    You put me on to Olaplex for 4c hair via TikTok! Really saved my hair tbh!
    i've been using #3 since October. I cut my MBL hair to to 10 inches in October, and I'm at 12 inches today with the healthiest ends of my life lol! I've never retained length like this. Shoutout to YOU! Working to reach 16 inches in 2024🤞🏽
    Two questions. 1. How often are you doing this routine? 2. What's your daily/weekly maintenance like? Would love to to see that routine as well! My biggest hurdle is staying ahead of dryness.
    Thank you for all you do!

      Omg hi!
      This put a huge smile on my face.
      I do this routine every 2-3 weeks. It’s been more like 3 weeks lately. I moisturize my hair about every 7-10 days with the same routine, a leave in moisturizer, honey hydrate and curl maker at the tips of my hair. A water based leave in + honey hydrate does wonders for my hair!
      If my hair is looking a bit rough I retwist between the 1-2 week mark if I’m not washing my hair. 💗

    • @setapartaay925
      @setapartaay925 3 місяці тому +8

      @@fatimaxfarouk I agree!! I use a water based leave in plus honey mixed, a moisturizer I got from Charity with Unveiling the veil natural hair care, and I use natures protein coconut gelee on my ends. My hair is in mini braids so I do two cornrows and tuck the ends. I also do the baggy method on just my ends 3 times a week and OMGOSH!! I LOVE ALL THOSE PRODUCTS and how my hair feels!

      I can’t say for sure because what works for me may not work for everyone. I’ve recommended these products for years and I haven’t gotten any push back from them except for the two step protein treatment. Some people with low porosity hair say it doesn't work for them, other say it does. You will have to try for yourself to know for sure 💗💗

    I just realized you have 4c hair like me. What, I'm not sure about is if I have high or low porosity. How did you figure it out? The test I've taken gives off a low porosity vibe but I'm still not sure. My hair gets dry easily and I have lots of tangles and slip ends. Currently, my middle to back length is at bra length while the front session of my hair is shorter, and some parts are way shorter.🤦🏽‍♀️ I want to do a big chop and start all over but need to figure things out properly, pheww😤

      Hi there!! If your hair is healthy, there’s no need to do a big chop. I’d just say to cut the split ends and damaged hair and rock with that. My hair is at an uneven length because I just cut off my unhealthy ends too. It’s feeling and looking sooooo much healthier and better

      I’m sorry to hear that. I agree with the comment above. It honestly sounds like your hair might be High Porosity based a few things you mentioned . To confirm your porosity, you can take a shed Hair strand after you shampoo it and put it in water for 15 minutes, if sinks it’s hp, if it is in the middle of the water it is mp but if it floats it is lp. Another way to tell is how well your hair soak up water. When you go to wash your hair does your hair need a couple of minutes to start soaking up the water (LP Low Porosity) or do your hair immediately gets wet the moment water hits it (HP High Porosity).

      @@Brandy_j5 Hi, thank you. I did the first test you mentioned on different occasions in the past and it came as low porosity. As for the other one, my hair takes a bit of time to get wet when I try to wash my hair. It also forms beads when it comes in contact with water, I have to squeeze it in. All these show it could be LP but it dries easily🤦🏽‍♀️ LP hair doesn't need thick products but my hair responds better to shea butter, mango butter and castor oil too when mixed with lighter oils. I currently use the Mielle moisturizing avocado milk, shea moisture raw shea butter deep moisturizing shampoo and the cream of nature mango and shea butter ultra-moisturizing conditioner. The milk and the conditioner are both thick, isn't that a sign of high porosity? How much time needed for your hair to soak water, determines if it's low or high?
