- HOW TO MOISTURIZE DRY LOW POROSITY HAIR & RETAIN MOISTURE ALL WEEK!!! 4A 4B 4C NATURAL HAIR... Hey! Today I will be showing you how I moisturize my extremely dry, low porosity, multi-textured, type 4 natural hair. As a low porosity natural, my hair tends to repel moisture which makes it very hard for products to fully absorb into my hair shaft. I have had plenty many instances where my hair was extremely dry within a day or two of me moisturizing. Luckily, I have found a dry to moisturizing natural haircare routine that works for me and doesn't require daily moisturizing. Now after moisturizing, my hair retains moisture for at least a week if not more in between my wash days depending on the style. I hope this video on how I moisturize my low porosity natural hair is helpful. Thanks for watching! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, COMMENT, AND SHARE!!!
Enjoy your blessings!!!

Definitely needed this video because I feel like my hair just eats up the moisture I put in my hair!
Try moisturizing on damp hair and let me know if you notice a difference. 😉
Saaaame😣
That means you have high porosity 💟. Low porosity means that the hair very slowly absorbs there hair and only takes what it needs which leads to product buildup. Whereas high porosity quickly absorbs everything it can get.
You look like Kelly Rowland 😊. Thanks for the video, I needed this. Your hair looks 4b to me. Is your hair 4b?
You may have high porosity hair
After watching 10 other low porosity naturals, I finally found someone whose hair is exactly like mine. Thank you for this simple routine. I didn't focus on smoothing the product in my hair after applying the warm water, I would just smooth it out like 10 sec and then apply leave in and butter but realized my hair needs more help to absorb the product. Keep up the great work!
I’m glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching :)
Tips to moisturize low porosity hair.
--------------------
1. Spray with water but don’t make it too wet, make it a bit wet.
2. Put a good leave in conditioner (Shea moisture leave in, Aunt Jackie leave in or Cantu leave in)
3. Put your hair butter to seal and a extra layer of moisture (Tgin daily moisture butter,Aunt Jackie Butter seal)
4. lastly Have a last layer of oil to seal it even better and keep it more moist (Aunt Jackie natural growth oil, Jamaican black castor oil, Wild growth oil, tea tree oil, extra virgin olive oil-{I recommend that}.
Then Put a nice protective style on, Throw on a wig and do this once a week for 4-5 weeks then wash your hair and start again.❤️
Edit: Also massage your hair with hair growth oils every night (That’s VERY VERY VERYYYY IMPORTANT)
Thank you so much!
The massaging bit is what I'm trying to make a habit, I've got really bad edges and I'm trying to massage my temples every day and I can see little spurts of hair, the first in YEARS!!!
@@missd6769 same i hate my edges i just want it to grow all the vloggs iv seen sll the woman have great hair and edges im 53 years old snd iv gone natrual i use thd blue magic theres so much stuff on the market im getting so confused i do have a steam cap which i use to deep condition
What about product buildup for low porosity hair? If I apply too many heavy products my hair looks dull and becomes hard. I have to wash weekly.
Looks more like high porosity hair regimen...
Love love love this video, very informative but easy to follow! Can't wait to try these tips
I’m glad it was helpful 🙂
I took me forever to figure out that I can't moisturize my hair when it's wet either!😭My hair would dry so hard and tacky feeling cuz the products didn't sink in!😭 I have to air-dry like an hour or two on Wash Day before I can moisturize it.😭 And *ALL* the natural hair youtubers (even those who claim "low porosity") say moisturize on wet hair.😭 #TrailAndError #TheStruggleWasTooReal😭
Saaaaame! We on now though! Thanks for watching 🙂
There is no such thing as moisture without water 💦
@@Superlife1369 I am )ow porosity and attest to benefits of moisturizing damp hair, not wet hair. No one on this post is implying that low porosity should moisturize on dry hair. Damp is damp, but it is not soaking wet.
+celeste portet Exactly! Damp (80%-90% air-dried) hair is best for me.😋 Personally, I think most people who claim low porosity are really normal porosity, especially youtubers😫.
They *all* say to style/moisturize on soaking, dripping wet hair, but they claim low porosity.😲 I get product build-up trying to put products on dripping wet hair. My hair was a hard crispy hot mess listening to these "gurus".😭
Learnt this about my hair a few days ago. I used a leave-in that was supposed to moisturize my hair but it ended up being as dry as the Sahara😭😭what a waste of my money and time
Beautiful natural healthy hair. My#1 just simply amazingly beautiful 🤩
Praise the lord I found a low porosity Queen 😩✨
Won’t He do it!! 🙌🏾 lol
You got me when you said..."I don't moisturize my hair when it's wet." I subscribed when you brought out the Blue Magic grease. Humph..!!
YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT 💫
I find oiling the ends is very important and have recently started adding a Bantu knot to the end of the twist/braid.
I love that technique as well. Thanks for watching :)
I do the same thing at the end of my twists
How you add the bantu? Help me out girl 😂
@@shay4101yeah I don’t understand either
Thx u this is exactly What I was looking for
Hair twins! I’m an automatic new stubbie! This 4c life is not easy lol but you make it look that way! Beautiful hair!
I appreciate your support Christine 💕💕
I like your style is simple and beautiful
Thank you, glad I found your video. My hair has been soooo dry could not figure out why. Bless you
You’re very welcome!! I have an updated routine uploaded as well. I hope the videos help 🙂
I can tell this girl is definitely a 4c
Chick like me and she’s serious about her hair and I’ve decided to follow you because you’re so natural and real
“l love it 🥰
I appreciate your support 💕💕
Thank you so much from my three daughters and myself. You have very beautiful hair.❤ Can't wait to finally do there hair correctly 🤩
You are very welcome 💕💕💕
Love your process. Mine is similar but I'll be adding yours into it. Thanks Girl. ❤😊❤
You’re most certainly welcome ♥️
Thank you for sharing. This method really helped my hair.
I’m glad it helped :)
Omgg I found my hair twinnn lol you and I have the same hair texture , yours is just longer. Subscribingggg !! ❤ I was saturating my hair with water and wondered why after all the moisturizing I do it still be DRYY I’m soooo glad I found you hair twin, THANKS !!
Heeeey hair twin!!! 👋🏾 I hope the tips are helpful and I appreciate your support 💕💕💕
Love this! THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching!!
Wow!!! Luke 1:45 is my scripture! God bless you.
So glad I watched this video, I started using warm water a few weeks ago n I've noticed a difference in how my hair absorbs the hair cream and oil. Hope I can get my hair to be as beautiful like yours 😍💓
Good luck on your journey 💕💕
That’s going to be my hair regime. Thank you.
You’re welcome :)
Thank you, Thank you so much for this video! It is extremely helpful and informative. Thanks to you, I was finally able to determine my hair’s porosity. I’ve been blindly following other UA-camrs/ hair gurus who claim to be “low porosity” and their methods have been all wrong! My hair hasn’t been able to retain moisture by following their advice and I couldn’t figure out why.
I randomly tried the damp warm water, leave in, moisturizer, grease routine before watching your video but searched for low porosity hair videos to confirm my hair’s porosity and to my surprise, everything you suggested made such a significant difference in my hair care routine. I also bought some chebe powder last month to add to my regimen. This is THE BEST low porosity video I’ve seen!! Lemme gone head and subscribe since you actually know what you’re talking about 😂 Blessings to you on your hair care journey ✨🌱🫶🏾 🌞
You are very welcome and I appreciate the support! I’m glad the video was helpful. 💕💕💕
Nice process. Love me some blue magic😍 Great video.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Thank you!
Adding vegetable glycerine to the water spray also helps to keep the hair moisturize longer following your other steps. My hair now stsys moisturize for about 2 weeks now. Also, instead of you using the comb, use your fingers to detangle like a comb. Its a game changer.
Thanks for the tips! This video is pretty old and I began incorporating vegetable glycerin shortly thereafter after. It has certainly upped the moisture retention. Thanks for watching 💕💕💕
Loved this! Especially hearing someone finally mention that DAMP hair is best for moisturizing low porosity hair (considering how long it takes to dry.)
If I actually moisturized 1-2 times a week on wet hair, it would stay partially wet for most of the week. Nobody wants that.
This is great to hear! I’m glad the video was helpful and that you can relate to starting with damp hair working best in your regimen as well. Thank you for watching! 💕💕💕
Tee tree and Peppermint should be used occasionally not really for a moisturizer. They mainly serve the purpose for scalp treatment eg dandruff, and once the hair problems are resolved, it should be used even less possible once a month or every other month.
thanks for this 🙏🏽
Very helpful vid. Tfs💜
I’m glad it was helpful!! Thank you for watching :)
Subscribed! Definitely going to use grease at my ends now. I feel this is gonna really help retain length.
I hope it helps!! Thanks for the support 💕
You’re beautiful 🥰. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! And thanks for watching 💕
Chebe alone strengthens your hair, which stops breakage, and results in hair growth.
Grapeseed oil does wonders !!!!
Yes ma’am! It a great lightweight oil.
I'm just learning about Grapeseed oil
this will probably help with my fairy knots
Glad to help 🙂
Hey Beautiful 😊. How often you apply products in your night time routine? I need help 🥺😁. Thanks....love your hair!! GOALS ❣️💯
The frequency depends on how my hair is looking/feeling but I typically moisturize every 3-4 days or so. Thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 💕
I have to try grapeseed oil and add grease to the ends, Thank you so much, I will let you know how it turns out.
I hope it works for you. Thanks for watching 💕💕💕
Has your hair grown since you posted this comment ?
Thanky soso murch❤🙏🙏
Welcome 💕💕
I have low porosity hair as well and I find that little to no product works best on my 4c hair. I’ve been natural for almost 2 years and I’d like to think I have a different outlook on the whole “natural hair thing”. Check out any of my detangling videos and let me know your honest thoughts on my method of 4cing ❤️
Thank you for the video. I have the same hair type and it stresses me out when it comes to moisturizing. It becomes so brittle if I apply products while it's still wet
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video was helpful :)
Will try it. I have 4c hair and only add leave-in conditioner. Guess that’s why hair is dry next day. 🤦🏾♀️
I hope it works!! Thanks for watching :)
Loved this. Finally a routine I know works for my hair. Do you have a shampoo routine because I just can’t seem to remove buildup from my scalp ?
I’m glad the video was helpful. 🙂 I have a couple of full wash day routines uploaded to my channel that include how I shampoo my hair. Thanks for watching 💕💕
Late reply, but you should also try an apple cider vinegar rinse after you wash. It smells gross but it helps to really cleanse your hair. And the smell is gone after u wash it out. Just make sure to dilute it with water.
I was watching to see how you would do your edges. They need to be included as well, because they appear to be shorter than the rest of your hair. The rest of your hair looks fine.
They are shorter due to post partum shedding. I have recent videos that show my full routine and what I used to grow them out. 🙂
k, thanks, your video dropped in my feed. I’ll take look at it.
Will you do a review on that Chebe hair cream?
I wasn’t planning on it but I’ll add it to the film list 👍🏾
Great routine. Can I do this even if my hair is not freshly washed?
Thank you ! And yes you can. I follow the same steps in between wash day.
Etsy honestly has great products
Yes indeed!
Thank you so much for taking out time to make this video. You have such beautiful hair.
Please I have a question.
I know my hair is low porosity but the way it feels after I moisturize my hair is as if I didn’t put anything in it at all. I am confused, it’s so frustrating almost have me shaving my hair off .
Water beads up on my strands, take a bit to be wet, take forever to dry when I moisture and twist, I use a steaming cap to incorporate heat but it still behaves the same way .
I am actually really sad about that.
Please do you have any advice.
Thank you in Advance .
Hello Moyo 👋🏾 I appreciate the sweet compliment. It definitely sounds like you may have low porosity hair but I am far from a natural hair expert. I would recommend scheduling a hair consultation with a natural hair stylist in your area for professional advice. They will be able to better identify what your hair lacks and it may be as simple as a change in the products you’re using. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help. I’m out here learning as I go as well. Don’t give up on your journey. You’ve got this...a little trial and error is apart of the process. 💕
@@Quijuandas I know this is an old post but what are you moisturizing with? I’m low porosity and protein sensitive so moisturizers that contain protein will make my hair dry. It’ll feel good as I’m applying but soon as it dries I’m worse off than I was before.
I know this reply is far too late.
Do you clarify your hair because low porosity needs to be clarified as soon as you notice build up.
Your products from shampoo to leave in may contain protein or you may be using some strengthening ayurvedic herbs or products too.
Low porosity can be protein sensitive. Proteins and strengthening products should be used with caution.
Can you please link the hair butter you used? Does the Chebe also help with hair growth ?
The link is in the description box and yes it does. 🙂
Very nice. Do you do daily moisturizing while your hair is in twists? If so, what do you do? Thanks.
Hey! My hair doesn’t require daily moisturizing when doing this method. It normally stays moisturized for at least 4-5 days. It just depends on how heavy handed I was with the products. I also haven’t tried moisturizing while my hair is still in twists. I’m sure that cuts down on time though! I’ll have to try it out the next time I do mini twist. Thanks for watching!
@@Quijuandas can I do this after I BlowDry my hair even after I did the LCO method for blow drying?
Your hair is amazing what type of hair do you have? My hair is 4c and i just dont know if my hair is good enough to be long x
Thank you!! I have multiple textures and my hair shrinks up quite a bit. Shrinkage is a sign of health and your hair will grow as long as you take care of it. Doesn’t matter the hair type. 🙂
With that mindset it will never be smh. Do you know how many 4c waist length girls are on YT??!
@@Quijuandas thank you yea im taking care of it i have the blue magic i have a leave in conditioner the carrot one i do the mist....could i ask what oil you use..dont you use the blue magic on your hair? Besides the ends? Some times my hair feels dry....i steam my hair on wash days...i was thinking using afican pride moisteriser is that good? I dont it to strip my hair..so would a oil be good before i moisterise? Sorry for the questions
how long do you leave the twist in? also what should you do when you feel your roots tangling after leaving them in for a few days?
I normally leave them in for two or three days so I don’t experience much tangling. If I do leave them in longer, I will just re-twist while moisturizing each section to avoid the tangling.
In the morning when you wake, what do you do to liven your hair again. Do you just add water or something else or you just pick it out?
I spritz water to refresh and add moisture when needed :)
💜
Hello I wanted to ask I'm a guy and wear my afro everyday, how often should I be moisturizing my hair once I do the leave in, butter and oil?
Hey Darius 👋🏾 I moisturize every 2-3 days when my afro is out but it really depends on how your hair looks and feels. Since the weather is getting cooler, I have to moisturize more frequently because my hair tends to dry out faster.
If I put my hair in a slick bun using gel and then I get tired of it, can I still moisturize my hair with the dried up gel already in my hair or do I have to wash it out before I re moisturize ?
I would recommend washing it out before re-moisturizing to avoid product build up.
Why do you apply grease on the end of ur hair? Like wht does it do? Thanks
I use it to seal my ends for length retention
If you focus on the beat of the song that’s playing and watch her hands, they kinda go together 🤣
😂😂😂
Whats the reason for the grease at the end of your process
Hey love. I apply grease at the very ends to help with length retention.
Does this method also work for men too I’ve been looking for a routine to help me keep moisture in my hair and retain length
Hey!! Yes. This method works for men as well :)
How often do we do this, and also after we do this since for me i still go to school so i wanna style my hair. Do i just spray water and comb cause I already know that is it moistured so i don't need to add anything else
I personally moisturize 2 to 3 times in between wash days. It really depends on how my hair is looking and feeling. I also have a midweek moisturizing routine uploaded on my change if you need it. And yes you can go into styling right after moisturizing if you choose to. ❤️
whats your opinion on the greenhouse effect for low porosity? i guess im confused cause putting oil on dry low porosity hair to me sounds like itll trap the hair follicle and keep it extra dry
Hey Uchechi 👋🏾 I think the greenhouse method is very effective in helping low porosity hair retain moisture. I personally only use oil as a sealant while my hair is damp not dry.
What is the green house effect ?
How do you treat your hair cus mine gets super tangled? I’m trynna get like you😩
Hey there! I keep it pretty simple. I make sure to moisturize and I mostly wear my hair in stretched styles. I’m currently experiencing postpartum shedding and that alone is a beast!
Does it stay moisturised all week? Mine sometimes is already dry by day 5. If I try to add leave in conditioner after damping it, it just gets dryer.
Yes it stays moisturized all week. Lately, I’ve been going straight in with my leave in since water is the first ingredient instead of dampening my hair with water first. I’ve also started incorporating the green house effect method for 15 minutes after applying my leave in to trap in the moisture even more. Doing so has produced even better results for me.
I noticed you didn't touch your scalp please tell me about it... Chebe butter I bought from one woman caused me dandruff
Hey there 👋🏾 I didn’t purposely avoid my scalp. I pre poo with this product as well and have not any issues.
What’s the benefit of grape seed oil ?
There are a few benefits such as strengthening the hair and fighting frizz but I mainly use it because it’s lightweight.
Do you apply leave in everytime you moisturize your hair?
Yes I do
Is there any good grease that doesn’t have protein in it for low porosity?
I actually don’t know of any grease that contains protein so I’m sure there are a lot to choose from. All I can speak for is Blue Magic and Virgin Hair Fertilizer because they’re the only ones I’ve used. Neither have protein but they do have petrolatum and mineral oil.
@@QuijuandasI know a few but I haven’t tried the blue magic one yet. I will try it. Thank you!
@@Quijuandas what’s so bad about petrolatum and mineral oil? Don’t you just have to use a clarifying shampoo?
My hair gets wet after a time but easily dries, damn 😠 i even feel tired of dryness and retaining it's moisture.
Hey there 👋🏾 Have you tried using vegetable glycerin and water mix? It has worked wonders at helping me retain moisture as well. I hope this helps.
How long do you leave you hair like that?
I usually unravel the twists after a couple of days but it all depends on the style I am going for afterwards.
Do you just wear your twists out throughout the week?
Yep! I wear my twists in a bun mostly throughout the week and unravel for a twist out on the weekends.
@@QuijuandasGot it! I’m gonna give this a try! Thank you sis ☺️
Is this a midweek routine or wash day?
Wash day but I complete the same process midweek if needed. Thank for watching 💕
how much do you keep it on?
Hello there :) I’m not sure what you mean exactly but when I moisturize my hair, I do not rinse it out. I wait until the next wash day. I wash my hair every week and a half to two weeks.
Hello I am Angela with Belle of hair! I create all natural hair and skin products. I also have 4c hair. Do you promote hair oil on your platform? If so, I would love to send you a bottle!
but my I don’t know how to do twist
You don’t have to twist your hair in order for it to retain moisture. My twists weren’t anything special but I’ll add a twist tutorial of some sort to my list of videos to film :)
How often do you do this per week?
Twice at the most :)
@@Quijuandas Thank you so much for your tips; LIFE SAVER. I will definitely give this a goin hopes that my hair will be much stronger and more moistured 😁❤️
As a guy with a hi top should I do LCO method everyday to moisturise my hair??
Hey there! I can’t really give you a definite answer because I don’t know how your hair feels but I personally moisturize every 3 days or so. That’s typically when my hair starts to look/feel dry.
Depends on your hair porosity. It can love the LCO or LOC method.
Simple. Clarity & stop with the oils & butters
My moisture doesn't last a week
I hope you find a routine that helps you retain moisture longer:)
Chebe pronounced phonetically as "Shay bae"
If your hair is wet then it already is moisturized....there is no such thing as moisturization without water 💦
She is not advocating no water!
She said DAMP
Quiyandas ?Why?lol
