+marvinandjosh1 lmaooo yeah that just looks uncomfortable ! I usually just put the makeup on for the final reveal of my dry hair but I ain’t feel like doing all that today 🤷🏾♀️
You probably won’t see this but this video changed my life! I knew my hair liked the LOC method but using water/aloe Vera juice as the liquid and leave in as a cream is a game changer!!! I’ve never seen my hair so shiny, no drying out while styling, no need to reapply products, just wow!! Plus my hair stayed moisturized all week!!
1. Love everything you said and I agree 100% I am also super high porosity with super thick and long (bsl) kinky hair so this is my routine: A. I always shampoo (never co washed bc I have dermatitis and I need my scalp and hair clean) B. I deep condition every wash day either with protein (color treated hair) or a moisture DC! C. In the winter I use what I call the LOB method- liquid oil butter and the styler will follow. For my liquid I use water or aloe Vera juice and then a water based leave in followed by any oil but I use castor oil or jbco in the winter or if my hair need the heavier oil followed by a thick butter such as shea or mango butter! D. My last tip which is super controversial in the natural hair community, if I’m rocking my wigs which I do during the coldest months I’ll do water then leave in and seal with grease! Yes ma’am! Keeps my hair right under my wings for 2 weeks tops! Never gets dry! Come pay day I’m so going to check out Kinky Tresses! Congrats and thanks for the review 😉
+Feron Flo you know it’s funny I’ve heard a few people rave about grease ! I think that fact that you shampoo leaves your hair buildup free .. if it ain’t broke don’t fix t right 🤷🏾♀️😂😂
Feron Flo well Damn. This is EXACTLY what I do to my HiPo hair. I use grease on the very ends of my hair but in the summer month I'll take a bit of grease and oil in the palm of my hands, emulsify it and seal with that. I don't pay much attention to these natural hair "community" rules. I don't what works for me. As long as my hair is healthy & retaining moisture & length, I'll do whatever I want to my damn hair.
nikqualuv09 right!!! And that’s so cool we have similar routines! Yeah I had to get over the “rules” and listen to my hair and I’m glad I did! Grease for the win!! My ends are thriving 🤗
High porosity squad!!! I use aloe vera as a leave in (cold rinse), water based leave in, as i am butter cream and then aloe vera gel. Or a mousse to style....sometimes my shea butter mix especially now for the cold days. My hair is a looser curl pattern. Oil weighs me down. I live for DC..own alot also lol. This video was so freaking awesome.
I needed this video! No one in my family has natural hair! So when I watched natural hair videos I assumed 4c meant low porosity hair. I tried their methods but they would never make my hair retain length! Your video gave me everything I needed💆🏾♀️
My mom uses the Kinky Tresses products since your video and she I had never seen her hair like that. Your technic plus the products changed drastically the game. She smiles now! Again thanks a lot for her.
I love the simplicity of your routine!!! I’ve tried so many things and have Ben moisturizing for 45 mins + and my hair would still be dry! I’ve tried your method and it is a game changer! Thanks so much 🙏🏽
First video. Super loved it. Will try your recommendations. Previously I thought I was low porosity, but did yet another test and few days later, my hair is still at the bottom of the cup. I'm now feel like my world has flipped upside down, however it does explain why my hair has not behaved or felt correct in months. I'm talking over 6 months now. Your video left me with hope. I loved the natural, down to earth, realistic vibes you had in the video not to mention the fact that it was packed with information. I instantly subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing.... i'd also like to add, most of the high porosity folks on here, don't seem to have 4c hair
Awwwww thanks so much!!! That made me so happy! There definitely is hope! Just takes trial and error. I went years doing the Lco method and then I found out the loc works better for me
@@KandidKinks I also noticed this but thought that was normal when closing the cuticles. Is it supposed to be soft/not dry at the cuticle sealing step??
I am Ol' School! I DON'T believe in co-washing, either. The concept of conditioning dirty hair is beyond me! How can you properly moisturize dirty hair and scalp??? You need a fresh palate to build from: Clean scalp, clean hair strands. Only shampoo can cleanse properly.
So true, I created my own definition of cowashing😀. When my hair is feeling dry and I need a booster, I shampoo once because of less product build up and condition my hair with a hair masque and conditioner.😀
I don’t think cowashing should take the place of washing the hair. It has pros and cons. I think it is really supposed to be done at a certain time. Washing would definitely be necessary.
Thank you for emphasizing the porosity of your hair instead of just the type. You are only one of 4 natural Black sisters who seem to understand the importance of this. I was wondering if you ever did any DIY with the forbidden rice milk or maximum hydration method. BTW, I thought you DID have makeup on and I’ve watched this video three times and I still haven’t seen a “scar”.
Speaking from my scalp and baby fine 4a thru 4c hair. I have to agree moisture is the key! My hair and scalp is thirsty 24/7. Keeping my hair moisturized is the key for my maintenance and growth. Enjoyed the video.
My hair hates humectants so I need to seal at the end. Would you recommend leave in, oil, styling butter/cream and then an oil seal? Oh you mentioned this at the end lol🤦🏾♀️ I'll try this method! Thanks girl! I like cowashing midweek. I usually do it if my hair is dry or if I sweat. I use the oyin handmade cowash which actually has a cleansing ingredient.
Love the oil application directly out the shower... thanks again for that recommendation! And for sending me back to shampoo> cowash! You freaking ROCK 😎😎😎😎😘👍🏽
Do a prepoo with aloe vera gel (the actual plant) and follow with an oil. Put a shower cap on and leave it for 1 hour or so, then wash and deep condition your hair...every wash day. My high po hair LOVES aloe vera gel. Follow Green Beauty, Curly Chemistry, SheRea DelSol and Selina Zinchuck for ideas on how to care for your hair. it all starts with understanding your hair type etc. Their videos have certainly helped me and now my hair is doing great.
Thank you for this video....adding the oil after I apply the aloe vera spritz really has helped locking in the moisture. FINALLY! I was getting to the point where I was so tired of my hair looking so dry (high porosity...4c and thick)... And I also added a ACV rinse as my finally step after I rinse out the conditioner. These 2 steps has helped me and keeping my hair moisturize for Days 💕
I would add a protein treatment in also. I ole schooled it last week and used an egg then followed up with a hot oil treatment. My fine, sparse, high porosity hair was soft & moisturized all week sans the ancestors. They started getting dry yesterday so I washed today.
So high porosity means it’s easy to moisturize hair ? My hair looks like urs but the ends end up drying with in 30 mins. I don’t know what to do with it. I just keep cutting the ends off.
Have wanted to try Kinky Tresses because of the SUPERB porosity video that the owner posted on UA-cam but coconut oil is the ENEMY to my hair and Castor oil makes me scalp itch. Have considered the Avocado repair mask (I think that's what it is), only because Castor oil is around the 7th ingredient in the product, so, hopefully, three isn't that much Castor in it.
Congrats on your first sponsored vid gal!! Yes!! I'm also a high porosity club member so I'm just grateful I found your channel! I agreed with *everything* you said too. Cowashing to me is like cleaning clothes with just fabric softener. The thing that's ironic about having high porosity hair finding that right moisture balance definitely. My hair soaks up some oil let me tell you! But it has to be applied in a certain manner or it's like no because I do cold rinse my hair in the shower and then let my hair air dry overnight which does seem counter productive but it helps my products sink in doing my l.o.c the next day! This ain't about me though lol Congrats again! Great vid as always and I'll look out for the next one! ☺
+Brownie8986 I used to wait to style my hair until it was dry and my hair reacted pretty well to it so I know your hair be popin! Thanks for all the love ❤️
Hi Kandi; You look Beautiful with Make Up & Without. Keep Smiling, I look at your Channel even though I have Low Porosity Hair. You Always keep it 💯. Have a Beautiful Day😊
I love to cowash. I cowash once a week and then on week 3 I cleanse my hair with suffrate free shampoo and deep condish. Then use my DIY Aloe Vera leave in then my oil and cream styler
Oh Lexi- I have low porosity hair but I tried the loc method for the first time this Sunday. It's Wednesday and my hair is not dry! I am a believer LOL. But yeah I don't do cowash. And I kinda wish I did because I have these expensive Wen conditioners that I was using with my relaxed hair. They just don't seem as moisturizing on my natural hair. But I'm using that high tailed conditioner up LOL
i have high porosity 4c hair but my hair don t like ACV, Glycerin. ACV rinse make my hair dry and brittle, Glycerin make it frizz, i use to buy aloe vera plant but the Gel make my hair dry
Thanks for sharing your method. I am high porosity and my method is similar. I find that adding the products in sections helps me get the products on all of my hair. I also use a clay wash on my hair instead of co-wash. I shampoo once a month for scalp health. I deep condition after every cleanse (clay or shampoo). I have not tried these products, they appear to work well. All the best to you.
My hair is super super dry. I’m having such a hard time keeping moisture throughout the week. I’m always putting water on my hair throughout the week and moisture. I try a lot of products but nothing has work. I’m going to try the products you use. What products do you recommend for me?
Hi candid and everyone who's reading this. Im asking this community a question. Im currently doing some research and watching a ton a video. I think so far I'm HIGH POROSITY and also 4c with thick, coarse hair. My hair breaks a lot. My question is, how does one know their hair porosity. I also think I am low because my hair dries so fast. Also, when I do all the test persons suggested, I get different results. The ends of my hair always seem so ROUGHHHHHHHHH ALWAYS. I'm dealing with so much during these times, and now my hair is going could be the at-home 🏡stuff. But if anyone has any suggestions on how. I would love a comment. Thank YOU.
Kharah_Jay Live yea sounds like high porosity to me. Don’t hold on to those rough ends. It will only lead to more breakage and tangles. Blow dry and give yourself a good trim with hair shears, then follow her steps. All the best
Kharah_Jay Live your ends shouldn’t be rough. If it is, you may have lots of split ends or single strand knots. if your hair is long enough, you can look at it and see the problem. Don’t wash your hair too often, wash once a week if you exercise or once in 2 weeks if you don’t. Wash your hair in sections, deep condition with every wash, and reduce how much manipulation you do with styling. I re-moisturize once a week and put my hair in a protective style till the next week. If you use her LOC method, your hair should stay moisturized. Only comb/detangle on damp (not soaking wet) hair using your fingers first then a wide tooth comb. You can add a conditioner to help. All these reduce friction on your ends and will reduce the rough feeling. I’ll suggest keeping a pair of scissors beside you when doing your hair. If you notice a knot or split end, cut it off instead of ripping it apart. Also don’t touch your hair when you are tired, hungry or in a rush. That never ends well. Lol. Those are all the tips I have. Hope it helps
She probably over saturated it while trying to get moisture and liquid in the hair. My hair can take long at times to dry, and I have 100% high porosity hair.
Ha ha, I was wondering the same thing. I know my HP hair dries fast. But, if you're using lots of product, that can cause it to take longer to dry. Also, the longer you leave in those twists/braids, the better the curl definition.
Angelina Carmichael I wondered the same thing! My 4C/4B hair is high porosity, and I don't need a towel because it dries so quickly! From what I've seen with others (and this is also true for my shoulder length hair), it's very unusual for hi-po hair to stay moisturized for more than 3 days, regardless of what products or process is used. Many hi-po's have to fully moisturize daily.
Lexi question, is it possible to take the porosity test and get the wrong results, reason I'm asking is because I wash my hair today put in twist and within 2-3 hours my hair was completely dry without sitting under a dryer but my hair floats for hours.
Here’s a video I did on porosity a while ago. I feel like those tests don’t always give accurate results for everyone ❤️ua-cam.com/video/cTauiPjGXGM/v-deo.html
Oh nooooo, don't dry your hair with ANY cotton!!! If you're getting split ends then take all cotton away from your hair and you may never have split ends afterwards
NEW UPDATED CODE KANDID15
What products did you use for the shampoo and conditioner?
I find it strange when people do wash day routines in a face full of make up and lashes! I mean, who does that in real life?!!

My high porosity hair stresses me out! It takes in moisture fast but within an hpur it looks dry again... breaks easily...😩

I have to agree about that aloe vera, been a staple of mine from day one, 6 years later my hair still loves it. Great video!!

@@KandidKinks I also noticed this but thought that was normal when closing the cuticles. Is it supposed to be soft/not dry at the cuticle sealing step??
I use cold water or cold aloe water rinse. Some spray the aloe on after leave in.

Omg I’m natural and I’m so jealous of how pretty your hair is 🤩
i finally found a youtuber who have the same 4c hair as me 🥳🥳
This is my first time viewing. I really did enjoy.
You just taught me how to make a wrap....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My hair is low porosity, these products used in a different order will probably help me out. Thank you.

My hair hates humectants so I need to seal at the end. Would you recommend leave in, oil, styling butter/cream and then an oil seal? Oh you mentioned this at the end lol🤦🏾♀️ I'll try this method! Thanks girl!
I like cowashing midweek. I usually do it if my hair is dry or if I sweat. I use the oyin handmade cowash which actually has a cleansing ingredient.
Love the oil application directly out the shower... thanks again for that recommendation! And for sending me back to shampoo> cowash! You freaking ROCK 😎😎😎😎😘👍🏽

Such pretty, healthy hair!

I have high po hair and it’s SOOOO dry idk what to do anymore
Thanks

Samee. Especially a cheap routine. My mom's not buying shit.
I’m going to try the aloe Vera/ seal method today! Thank you so much!
I’m definitely watching because we literally have the same hair texture
Thank you for this video....adding the oil after I apply the aloe vera spritz really has helped locking in the moisture. FINALLY! I was getting to the point where I was so tired of my hair looking so dry (high porosity...4c and thick)...
And I also added a ACV rinse as my finally step after I rinse out the conditioner.
These 2 steps has helped me and keeping my hair moisturize for Days 💕
I mix my conditioner with apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and it really balances the ph in hp hair
Great tips. The only thing that I would add is to use protein treatments to help the hair retain moisture better/longer.
+marvinandjosh1 Great tip! You know I never protein treatment .. I’m such a lazy natural lol
I would add a protein treatment in also. I ole schooled it last week and used an egg then followed up with a hot oil treatment. My fine, sparse, high porosity hair was soft & moisturized all week sans the ancestors. They started getting dry yesterday so I washed today.

Hi girl, have you tried sealing your ends with a heavy oil like jbco or a butter
High porosity needs a lot of moisture. It soaks it up fast and loses it fast
Thanks for your advice very helpful for my 4c high porosity hair.👍👍
Thanks for being you. Love make up ,but like people being themselves
Hmm I'm probably not moisturizing well cause my hair is like the Sahara desert after 2/3 days
Same 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. That's just high poo for you. It needs constant moisturizing and I have to moisturize every 2 days
what brand and where do u get ur aloe vera juice spray??
Everything you said is so true about the products. I love the smell. I’m always asked what do you put on your hair?
Great video, this is the best virgin that I've seen of you, keep it up and followers will grow!

+FrescoChicana ayeeeee thank you!
Just placed my order, yeay! However, the code must've expired because it said it was invalid...it's ok though.
I’m definitely going to try your method.
Let me know how it goes
i have high porosity 4c hair but my hair don t like ACV, Glycerin. ACV rinse make my hair dry and brittle, Glycerin make it frizz, i use to buy aloe vera plant but the Gel make my hair dry
I have low density, high porosity, thin, 3b/3c curly hair. And sometimes it really sucks.
Gotta learn to love it! How to take care of it and it’ll be easier ! Don’t give up

I’ve never tried it but I wouldn’t
New subbie here!!! Hey boo!! High Porosity here too!!!😘

Hi candid and everyone who's reading this. Im asking this community a question. Im currently doing some research and watching a ton a video. I think so far I'm HIGH POROSITY and also 4c with thick, coarse hair. My hair breaks a lot. My question is, how does one know their hair porosity. I also think I am low because my hair dries so fast.

I'm dealing with so much during these times, and now my hair is going could be the at-home 🏡stuff. But if anyone has any suggestions on how. I would love a comment. Thank YOU.
Kharah_Jay Live yea sounds like high porosity to me. Don’t hold on to those rough ends. It will only lead to more breakage and tangles. Blow dry and give yourself a good trim with hair shears, then follow her steps. All the best
@@ebubeesiobu9164 thank you so much for responding 🤗🤗🤗. Thank you, I do try to trim it. It seems as if that's just how my ends are?
Kharah_Jay Live your ends shouldn’t be rough. If it is, you may have lots of split ends or single strand knots. if your hair is long enough, you can look at it and see the problem. Don’t wash your hair too often, wash once a week if you exercise or once in 2 weeks if you don’t. Wash your hair in sections, deep condition with every wash, and reduce how much manipulation you do with styling. I re-moisturize once a week and put my hair in a protective style till the next week. If you use her LOC method, your hair should stay moisturized. Only comb/detangle on damp (not soaking wet) hair using your fingers first then a wide tooth comb. You can add a conditioner to help. All these reduce friction on your ends and will reduce the rough feeling. I’ll suggest keeping a pair of scissors beside you when doing your hair. If you notice a knot or split end, cut it off instead of ripping it apart. Also don’t touch your hair when you are tired, hungry or in a rush. That never ends well. Lol. Those are all the tips I have. Hope it helps
@@ebubeesiobu9164 you're the best, thank you. I'll follow these step.
I wonder what kind of deep conditioning she use?
What aloe juice brand do you recommend?
Are you sure you're high porosity if your hair takes long to dry?
+Angelina Carmichael yeah it just takes long because it’s so dense and long, when my hair was shorter it dried over night
She probably over saturated it while trying to get moisture and liquid in the hair. My hair can take long at times to dry, and I have 100% high porosity hair.
Ha ha, I was wondering the same thing. I know my HP hair dries fast. But, if you're using lots of product, that can cause it to take longer to dry. Also, the longer you leave in those twists/braids, the better the curl definition.
Angelina Carmichael I wondered the same thing! My 4C/4B hair is high porosity, and I don't need a towel because it dries so quickly! From what I've seen with others (and this is also true for my shoulder length hair), it's very unusual for hi-po hair to stay moisturized for more than 3 days, regardless of what products or process is used. Many hi-po's have to fully moisturize daily.
Ohhh my gosh we have the same name
Lexi question, is it possible to take the porosity test and get the wrong results, reason I'm asking is because I wash my hair today put in twist and within 2-3 hours my hair was completely dry without sitting under a dryer but my hair floats for hours.
Here’s a video I did on porosity a while ago. I feel like those tests don’t always give accurate results for everyone ❤️ua-cam.com/video/cTauiPjGXGM/v-deo.html
Thanks love, your porosity video was point on,so I guess it will be trial and error. Tired of trying to figure it out

+Lioness Arising welcome to the fam 💕
Oh nooooo, don't dry your hair with ANY cotton!!! If you're getting split ends then take all cotton away from your hair and you may never have split ends afterwards
Including scarves and pillow cases
What did you put on your edges towards the end of the video
I believe it was tailored beauty edge control but I’m not 100% sure. That’s my favorite edge control though
when u apply the leave in your hair is damp ,wet or soaking wet?
Damp
