We are here!!! To think I almost sent you an impassioned plea to do something for us low porosity sisters, which I talked myself out of 👀 so as not to be the internet creep. Praises be to our good God! Thank you!!!
Even though I’ve been natural for years I’ve recently discovered that I’m low porosity and very protein sensitive. Your videos are helping me rebuild my regiment and your in the Uk which is even better. Thank you 😊
Protein sensitivity = your hair has enough protein. You only need to do a treatment once a month or once every two to three months or longer. If you're putting protein in your hair when it doesn't need it then you will probably think you're sensitive to it, i.e. protein overload.
I SWEAR by Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In/Detangler. It's got a bunch of those bottom half ingredients for slip and softness, but not the top stuff so it's definitely more a dentangler than a deep condition. It makes every detangling session a breeze and I'm glad to see my results backed up by science!
I have gotten very happy with Mielle babassu Oil Mint Deep Conditioner. I've been using it for the past two months. I must say, my dry hair has gotten soft, and for the past week it has stayed moisturized for one week without becoming brittle.
For anyone on a tight budget, I found this which should be great for detangling. The slip is good. Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner Coconut.
A protein free/ moisturizing deep conditioner I've been using is the Biolage Hydra Source Moisturizing Hair Mask. It doesn't contain any heavy butters and has a lot of the ingredients mentioned e.g hydroxyethyl cellulose, propylene glycol, Aloe Vera juice, Cetyl esters, sunflower oil, etc.
My holy grail as a fine haired - low porosity girl who is protein sensitive is the Mielle Mongogo deep conditioner. It’s just perfect. Never weighs my hair down but moisturizes the crap out of my hair. It is protein free! It’s bomb!!!! I try to get my protein in from my shampoos but a mild protein deep conditioner I love is the Eva NYC therapy session mask! It’s great 😊
Ma'am, where were you in 2018 when I began exploring natural hair!!?? I'm literally scribbling notes as fast as I can! Thank you for all your detailed videos and for giving your audience the truth!!

I just love how knowledgeable you are and your fluency with all the product ingredients. Thank you for sharing. About to go and scan through my deep conditioners to see what's to be kept.
It’s lockdown again and I’m here binge watching Afope, I’m so glad I came across your channel I’m learning so much about my hair !. I’ve been using the Shea moisture hydrating manuka honey masque I have low porosity hair and I use it with a steam cap it makes my hair feel so soft and hydrated afterwards.
So many videos for curly hair girls. If you are low porosity, dry hair, coarse, is the advice the same? You are my favorite to watch - so bs . I am right brained, so you science girls are my heroes. Thank you for breaking things down!
Jojoba Monoi natural deep conditioner by Eden is absolutely amazing. My hair has never felt so soft. After I use it, my hair is so manageable. It's easier to comb through and it smells great. My hair is low porosity and its in the type 4 category: 4a in the front and 4b in the back.
Omg I used it today and freaking loved it! I've been a little shy on proteins couse went too far once and I was like nah, I'll stick to moisture. But have it a shot and my curls were super defined and "springy" is how I like to put it. Loved the smell and texture of it as well. Felt like I opened up a cocunut in half, made a cream of the meat and put it right on my hair lol
Thank you so much! This was so in depth and informative! I have low porosity hair and I’ve recently been on the hunt for protein-free leave in conditioners. I tried the Mielle Organics Pomegranate and Honey Leave in Conditioner and I love it so far. I’ve been trying to get away from leave-ins that seem heavy/thick but I also want the moisture aspect of a leave in.

I'm a new subscriber with low porosity hair, type 4B, and 4C. I'm familiar with the ingredients, however, I've now learned what my hair needs, Thank you!
Thannnnnnnk youuuuuuu!!!!🙏😍 I'm not english native(intermediate english) but I enjoyed getting so much detailed informations about hair porosity. I have been struggling for so long between my daughter's hair(LP) and mine (HP) about the appropriate regimen without satisfying results😩 I've never come accross such helpful information in nappy french community. Despite the rapid accent, i made it. I took note (replayed the video again and again)😅😅 Thank you Afope! Take care you all😘
I absolutely swear by the tgin honey miracle hair mask. it is my holy grail product. i have low porosity hair so now I know why my hair loves it. keep the low porosity videos coming please! you just gained a subscriber! :)
Found your channel and I am natural since about 2011 and have low porosity hair. I went back to the old school queen Helene cholesterol conditioning cream. I went back to this because it always made my hair feel great and moisturized when I had relaxed hair. The same with the kera Kare brand their humectant shampoo and conditioner? My hair LOVES IT! So I’m watching different videos to see which natural hair care companies provide the same effects & also to learn more about the use of protein etc for low porosity hair. Thank you so much! 💛
NYM green tea and apple blossom butter masque is hands down the best deep conditioner I’ve ever used for my type 4 low porosity hair.And it’s only 8.99 @ Ulta
Hi sis, Where have I been, yesterday was the first time I watched your video. Couldn't stop listening to you, so please I click your video. Having problems with iron deficiency/low porosity hair for years. You are a star sis thanks. Very informative video.🥰😍
I keep posting but my hair has never felt as soft as it does now. My hair feels like a soft cotton ball. Using the three products that I have previously mentioned. Argan oil is the life
I’m low porosity and protein sensitive. I’m currently using Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Deep Conditioning Masque because the price is reasonable and it makes my hair soft
Hi, I recently went to a salon to get a trim, and while I was there, she told me that I had high porosity hair. I always thought that I had low porosity hair because when I do the hair strand test in a glass of water, my hair strands float and never sink. However, I did another test where I wet my hair and my body to see which one drys first, and my hair dried first, meaning it could be high porosity. I also ran my fingers on some strand and I felt no bumps meaning that it could be low porosity. Lastly, I believe my hair does not like proteins or coconut oil. Should I consider my hair high or low porosity? I came upon you video for your wash day for high porosity, and now I'm here for low porosity.
The best way to test for porosity is to spray your hair with water. If you see a bunch of water droplets, then you have low porosity. If you see some water droplets then its normal porosity. If there are no droplets and your hair is soaked from the spray then you have high porosity. Also, low porosity hair dries faster because it has a harder time absorbing water. Meanwhile, high porosity takes forever to dry because it absorbs moisture from everywhere since the cuticles are normally open/ raised. Hair almost always floats at the top when placed on a water surface. You also have to factor in whether you have fine, medium, or thick hair strands and whether your hair is dry, oily, damaged, or just has a lot of product buildup. And different parts of your hair can have different porosity too. Hope this helps. 😊
@@BubblyRosé2468 Actually, I believe it's the other way around. Once water enters low porosity hair, it takes so much time to dry. As for high porosity hair, water easily evaporates through the raised cuticle..there is nothing holding it back! LP hair drying quickly means it did not receive water to begin with
Thank you SO MUCH for these videos about deep conditioners for low porosity and high porosity hair. I have low posority hair and my son has high porosity hair and it's hard to find quality products for each of our hair needs.

Forget your extensive knowledge. The way my eyes are still stuttering over 'bec-' and you've already moved onto the next complicated ingredient! So impressive!
Noted. Noted. NOTED and thank you very much. This was helpful. I definitely have to be more mindful of tracking my hair progress and ingredients my hair likes...
Wow My friend sent me your video and I am glad she did. Cause woooow just wooow the details on your videos and the knowledge you have wow so for that beyond thank you 😊
Wait, I heard that coconut oil is not good for low porosity hair? I actually noticed that too once I stopped using it. But when I see coconut ingredients in products I’m not sure if I should get them.. And how many times should I use a protein treatment? Once a month or once a week?
Alikay Naturals sage conditioner. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 My extremely low porosity hair has NEVER liked deep conditioners, because they’re just so heavy, and always leave a little residue no matter how many times I rinse it out. And regular conditioners are even worse APART from Innersense pure harmony conditioner which rinses out beautifully and is residue free. So why does the Alikay work I wondered?Well it doesn’t contain any butters. 🤗 it’s very watery and just sinks into my hair. Only downside as with most things natural hair related, they’re not cheap. 😩
The universe is playing with me!! Why did I not find you and this video 2 days ago, when I made my first hair products order on Amazon?? TBH lockdown has me finally deciding to get to know my TWA 4c low porosity hair needs and even try to grow it out. Definitely a new sub & now going to watch other videos to further my education 🙌🏿💯😊.
I second this Yimika. If you have medium porosity, you can benefit from the information on both the high porosity and low porosity videos. Porosity isn’t about strict categories, it’s more of a sliding scale so you may find that your either slightly more low porosity or slightly closer to high porosity. Try the tips from both and see which side your hair responds to better. But largely - you’ve got it good because you should be able to work with either side successfully
Camille Rose Algae Renew conditioning mask for my low porosity, protein sensitive hair. No protein in this. I've also used the low protein conditioners mentioned, but will always follow that with a nice mix of light hot oils. I follow with knot today leave in. I haven't tried any film forming humectants but plan to try sealing with curly custard as I still battle dryness and wiry feeling hair.
How often should you deep condition vs use a "regular" conditioner? Do you deep condition every wash day or only after clarifying? Also, if you do recommend occasionally use a regular conditioner, what ingredients should we look for? Love these recs btw. I'll definitely keep an eye out.
use a regular conditioner after every shampoo is recommended. and you need to figure out yourself when to deep condition, if you notice your hair needs extra moisture or is dry, you should deep condition. then you know how often
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for this video i was searching but couldn't find any article on google good thing ur channel talks on this stuff also what about low porosity and oily scalp
LOVE your videos but I don't have access to any of these brands 😢 any way you could recommend internationally available brands like shea moisture, the body shop, garnier, dove etc
Anyone with recommendation on how often I should deep condition 4c low porosity hair? My hair gets dry like two days after moisturizing and my ends get tangled a lot. Thanks❤️
I've learned so much from you on how to better care for my hair. I swear by the As I Am Hydration elation as well as the Camille rose Algae renew deep conditioner . Love your channel!
I know you mentioned using protein based products only in deep conditioner format what is your thoughts on curlsmith multi-tasking conditioner 3 in 1 leave in, rinse out or/and deep conditioner for low porosity hair?
This is amazing information. I saw coco betaine as a surfactant in the Camille Rose Ginger Cleansing Rinse and now betaine listed in the As I Am Hydration Elation. Would the Cleansing Rinse still count as a protein-free shampoo or would this be considered a product to introduce after a while with a protein-free regimen? Thank you for being such a great resource for healthy hair!
I use dr. Bronner's Castile soap, black soap (brown in color), will try naptural85's soap (in the future), pretty much any soap that is organic as possible. I put conditioner (my light penetrating oil of choice), and let that sit under a shower cap and heat, then add a styler (butter or heavy oil of my choice), then style as usual, I'm definitely not a product junkie lol. Let me know how it works out for you!
Wonderful video ❤️❤️ It would be amazing to see your perspective on natural homemade products, and common mistakes and or tips for those of us inclined to experiment with homemade natural DIY treamentst. For example, I'm very worried about weather or not certain homemade concoctions can actually last and keep well (Safely) in the fridge/outside the fridge without spoiling, and any other recommendations you can think of for those of us with an inner chemist wanting to make things that cater to our hair in particular.
Thank you! I feel you girl, I love a good diy product. A good rule of thumb I like to use is 2 years for oily (water free concoctions) and 2 weeks for ones that have water in them (in the fridge). Have you tried natural preservatives?

I love your channel, I like your interest in presenting the information and how you edit the video. Thank you!
all love for you
Can you please do a video on how to determine porosity?
Greenbeauty's channel has a video on this.
Noted. Noted. NOTED and thank you very much. This was helpful. I definitely have to be more mindful of tracking my hair progress and ingredients my hair likes...
💓💓
Wow My friend sent me your video and I am glad she did. Cause woooow just wooow the details on your videos and the knowledge you have wow so for that beyond thank you 😊
Wait, I heard that coconut oil is not good for low porosity hair? I actually noticed that too once I stopped using it. But when I see coconut ingredients in products I’m not sure if I should get them..
And how many times should I use a protein treatment? Once a month or once a week?
Excellent delivery
Alikay Naturals sage conditioner. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 My extremely low porosity hair has NEVER liked deep conditioners, because they’re just so heavy, and always leave a little residue no matter how many times I rinse it out. And regular conditioners are even worse APART from Innersense pure harmony conditioner which rinses out beautifully and is residue free. So why does the Alikay work I wondered?Well it doesn’t contain any butters. 🤗 it’s very watery and just sinks into my hair. Only downside as with most things natural hair related, they’re not cheap. 😩
I was just about to comment this. This deep conditioner leaves my hair moisturized for dayyysss without having to reapply any product.
I’m going to try some of these products. Thank you!
I have low porosity hair and the Silicon Mix conditioner is one of the only conditioners that work on my hair, i wonder why?
I just found out i had low porosity hair, it makes sense why i can't use coconut oil, or products with protein
The universe is playing with me!! Why did I not find you and this video 2 days ago, when I made my first hair products order on Amazon?? TBH lockdown has me finally deciding to get to know my TWA 4c low porosity hair needs and even try to grow it out. Definitely a new sub & now going to watch other videos to further my education 🙌🏿💯😊.
😫 I JUST DID THE SAME THING. NOW I DON'T WANNA USE WHAT I ORDERED LOL
Please please do medium porosity next 🥺 I've been natural all my life but I'm just now learning how to take care of my hair
Medium Porosity is the same as Normal porosity, so if you have that porosity you can use whatever deep conditioner you want.
I second this Yimika. If you have medium porosity, you can benefit from the information on both the high porosity and low porosity videos. Porosity isn’t about strict categories, it’s more of a sliding scale so you may find that your either slightly more low porosity or slightly closer to high porosity. Try the tips from both and see which side your hair responds to better. But largely - you’ve got it good because you should be able to work with either side successfully
Tgin honey miracle DC, Camille rose algae DC, Mielle peppermint DC
Very helpful so very detailed and informative!💚
Thanks, bro! 🙏🏽
Protein free DCs - Eden body works Natural deep Conditioner and Camille Rose Coconut water penetrating hair treatment! Great video
I think the coconut water one contains amino acids (if I'm not mistaken) - what are the ingredients?
What about miss Jackie’s flaxseed elongating gel? 👀
Camille Rose Algae Renew conditioning mask for my low porosity, protein sensitive hair. No protein in this. I've also used the low protein conditioners mentioned, but will always follow that with a nice mix of light hot oils. I follow with knot today leave in. I haven't tried any film forming humectants but plan to try sealing with curly custard as I still battle dryness and wiry feeling hair.
How often should you deep condition vs use a "regular" conditioner? Do you deep condition every wash day or only after clarifying? Also, if you do recommend occasionally use a regular conditioner, what ingredients should we look for? Love these recs btw. I'll definitely keep an eye out.
use a regular conditioner after every shampoo is recommended. and you need to figure out yourself when to deep condition, if you notice your hair needs extra moisture or is dry, you should deep condition. then you know how often
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for this video i was searching but couldn't find any article on google good thing ur channel talks on this stuff also what about low porosity and oily scalp
Natural Rizado brand is a brand that makes products for low porosity exclusively. I love their products especially the deep conditioner and leave in
Mielle Organics Babassu Oil and Mint Deep Conditioner is my favorite!
LOVE your videos but I don't have access to any of these brands 😢 any way you could recommend internationally available brands like shea moisture, the body shop, garnier, dove etc
Why should I look out for (poly)quaternium if its just a cheap replacement for silicones?
Can you use coconut oil for low p hair🤔
Hi my sister, is that possible to get a book?
Absolutely awesome !! We need shampoos too .
I have found the Shea moisture manuka honey mask amazing
It's an amazing mask I love it so much that I find excuse to wash my hair every week!
Anyone with recommendation on how often I should deep condition 4c low porosity hair? My hair gets dry like two days after moisturizing and my ends get tangled a lot. Thanks❤️
Definitely found your video helpful! Thank gurl-friend!
I've learned so much from you on how to better care for my hair. I swear by the As I Am Hydration elation as well as the Camille rose Algae renew deep conditioner . Love your channel!
Thank you so much Michelle! 💛I'm so glad!
I love you and love your Channel. Please more video on low porosity ❤️
Thank you for the information!!! I never knew this
Are these products good for men to use also?
I know you mentioned using protein based products only in deep conditioner format what is your thoughts on curlsmith multi-tasking conditioner 3 in 1 leave in, rinse out or/and deep conditioner for low porosity hair?
can u do a diy for low porosity hair an doily scalp
This is amazing information. I saw coco betaine as a surfactant in the Camille Rose Ginger Cleansing Rinse and now betaine listed in the As I Am Hydration Elation. Would the Cleansing Rinse still count as a protein-free shampoo or would this be considered a product to introduce after a while with a protein-free regimen? Thank you for being such a great resource for healthy hair!
Can you please recommend a Shampoo for low porosity hair. Pretty please!🙏🏽
I use dr. Bronner's Castile soap, black soap (brown in color), will try naptural85's soap (in the future), pretty much any soap that is organic as possible. I put conditioner (my light penetrating oil of choice), and let that sit under a shower cap and heat, then add a styler (butter or heavy oil of my choice), then style as usual, I'm definitely not a product junkie lol. Let me know how it works out for you!
Try the Not your mother’s curl talk shampoo. It’s great! Sulfate free. Also Shea moisture shampoos are great.
Great video, thank you 💜 my fave deep conditioner is mielle babassu n mint and I’m low porosity
I've heard great things about this but never tried it before. What are the ingredients?
Afope Atoyebi it’s amazing you have to try it! It’s says it’s moisture/protein balanced so I was super wary because usually my hair hates any type of protein, but it’s become my favourite. Listed ingredients below what do you think of it? xx
Water/aqua/eau, behentrimonium methosulfate, cetearyl alcohol, cetylesters, *Orbignya oleifera (babassu) seed oil, Pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract, glycerin, sodium PCA, sodium lactate, arginine, aspartic acid, PCA, glycine, alanine, serine, valine, proline, threonine, isoleucine, histidine, phenylalanine, *Euterpe oleracea (acai) pulp oil, Pentaclethra macroloba (pracaxi) seed oil, *Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, *Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, *Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) oil, *Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium) flower oil, Salvia officinalis (Sage) oil, Mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, Citrus paradise (Grapefruit) peel oil, Litsea cubeba fruit oil, Mentha Viridis (spearmint) leaf oil, isoamyl laurate, dehydroacetic acid, benzyl alcohol
Allthatgliters020 yessssss that dc is so bomb!!!
sadly this deep conditioner gave me protein overload. 😣
Thanks Afope, I’ve been waiting for this video. Do you have one for moisturisers for low porosity hair as well?
I have a video on how to keep natural hair moisturised but I could definitely do one for low porosity hair exclusively. would that be helpful?
@@AfopeAtoyebi that would be very helpful
Afope Atoyebi yes yes please, that would be appreciated.
I'm still unsure what my porosity is - I don't think I get my hair very well!
Me too! sometimes it just sits on top of the water other times when i emerge it slightly it sinks fast... wut 0.o
How often should low porosity’s use protein in the hair care regimen?
Wonderful video ❤️❤️ It would be amazing to see your perspective on natural homemade products, and common mistakes and or tips for those of us inclined to experiment with homemade natural DIY treamentst. For example, I'm very worried about weather or not certain homemade concoctions can actually last and keep well (Safely) in the fridge/outside the fridge without spoiling, and any other recommendations you can think of for those of us with an inner chemist wanting to make things that cater to our hair in particular.
Thank you! I feel you girl, I love a good diy product. A good rule of thumb I like to use is 2 years for oily (water free concoctions) and 2 weeks for ones that have water in them (in the fridge). Have you tried natural preservatives?
omg help me lol this video was great thank you ,cant wait to try ,found this in time ,do you have a video on dry scalp ?
Greenbeauty's channel does.
Hi Afope, so do we not use regular conditioners, only deep conditioners?
Loveeee your videos really helpful. Do you think using a protein treatment/mask as a prepoo can be effective?
Of course! It may not adhere as much though if you have a lot of buildup on your hair. This is why I prefer to wash first
How do I know which porosity hair I have?
