I know this video on hair porosity is extensive, and I hope sincerely that you don't feel overloaded or overwhelmed with information. I covered details for low porosity, medium or normal porosity, and high porosity, as well as what products help, what can alter your porosity, and the differences between natural porosity, mechanically induced porosity, and chemically induced porosity changes. As I stated in the beginning of the video, there was a lot to unpack!
If you find this video to be helpful, please share it with a friend or family member you think would benefit from this information. Understanding and catering to the needs of your porosity impacts the hair in a positive way, allowing you to see hair growth, as well as length retention.
Until next time, have an amazing day, take care, God bless, and stay glam!
You know I love you boo,
Linwood

I think I understand my hair porosity as normal. It absorbs water fairly easily and when I use thicker products the hair seems to be vibrant for days. However while my hair is moisturized my scalp is the opposite. I get scabs on my scalp a lot and a lot of redness. I wash my hair like once per week or longer just because my head is always itching like 3 days after my wash. Everytime I wash my hair I use a shampoo and a conditioner. And then after I put a leave in conditioner and either grease or oil. I try to get my scalp moisturizer too with water and oil. However I don’t know if my scalp is dry, dirty, or has too much product on it. I’m just tired of the itching and I want to be able to wear protective hair styles more often but every time I do my scalp goes on fire. I need help and I don’t ever see anyone talking about scalp health.

I know this is a question for a doctor (maybe), but I've been trying to do my own research. Would anyone here know, what's the deal with sensitive scalp? Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don't, but when I do I cannot even touch my hair (cause it hurts). And my hair is becoming more and more skinny (thinning), I don't have bald spots, but my hair is not growing as the beautiful untamed afro that I used to have in high school. There are no bald people in my family, except for my grandpa on my moms side, but everybody else hair is so thick. Could the thinning be related to whatever is causing my scalp sensitivity?

Do you believe that a lot of naturals mistakenly believe they have low porosity hair due to product build up? I’ve gone back to regularly washing my hair with a Sulfate shampoo and I’m realizing that my hair is actually high porosity but because I had been using so much grease and oil, water had a difficult time penetrating my strands.

@christy7516 3 года назад

I believe it too ! Especially TGIN it causes too much buildup almost every product of theirs is heavy on silicones and thick oils it's too much . I think it's also responsible for people saying their hair is not curly ..

@rjones4748 2 года назад

Are you in my head? Wow! After watching a quarter of the way through I'm sitting here thinking maybe I just have product build up and may not truly be low porosity 🤔

@smileymileys100 2 года назад

Yes but remember were supposed to clarify with a sulfate shampoo at least once per month. So if you use a sulfate free shampoo regularly you should be alternating it with a sulfate shampoo every other wash day or once per month at least.

@GetGlamFam 4 года назад

Grey has a tendency to be coarse or wiry, its part of it's composition. White hair tends to be much more delicate though. A hair steamer is an excellent way to get more moisture in, make sure that when styling you opt for low heat or no heat options, so you don't scorch the hair or cause it to yellow. Violet shampoos can help with removing mild yellowing, but not extreme cases.

@user-lenise876 3 года назад

Hi Elizabeth. I had a serious scalp issue and was using all kinds of medicated shampoos and scalp treatments. I had scabs around the hairline, especially at the front. I eventually moved from the area I was living and could no longer go to my usual, salon so I had to change salon. The first thing I noticed at this new salon was that these ladies never put their fingers into their products, they sanitized a lot...comb dropped on the floor and it was sanitized. Client leaves the chair its sanitized. Well 2 months after going there I had the most healthy scalp to this day...13 years later. I tell this story to everyone with scalp issues. Look into your environment to see if there is anything you can change.....unless its internal.

@ah4856 3 года назад

The demo with the blinds to describe the cuticle layer and the differences between low, medium, and high porosity was brilliant! And the use of body heat for high porosity hair when deep conditioning just saved me from buying a steam cap! It never occurred to me that since the cuticle scales (those are the things that open and close on the cuticle) are already open I don't need to blast it with outside heat, either wet or dry, to get moisture into the shaft. Also the explanation on using apple cider vinegar mixed with water gave me an "a ha" moment: now I know why my hair (high) feels so soft and smooth when rinsing with that concoction. I knew I loved your channel for a reason! I learn so much from watching.

@@saja2981 I don't think there is a way to fix it per se, it's more of working with it. When I shampoo my hair I use neutralizing shampoo for the first wash. My hair is silky and zero tangles no matter how much I manipulate it, then I do a second wash with regular shampoo to get it clean. I also use products that are PH balanced like Aphogee, take my time, keep the hair in one direction and make sure it's detangled (finger comb+ prayer hands method) before rinsing at every step. **Very important*** Also helps to completely detangle my hair to the scalp before washing; spend a good 10-15 minutes combing it out beforehand. Hope that helps. Also, moisturize/seal regularly, wear a satin bonnet at night. Listen to your hair, love it, have passion for taking care of it💕

I agree with you, so helpful. I’m the one that feels like oh dear all seem to apply. I particularly appreciated the explanation of how shampoos can change our hair Parasity in addition to how we care for our hair. I was listening while on the go so I plan to sit down and really listen to this video and learn a few things as I just did a chop and this is a great opportunity to really learn my hair better. ( I was natural and hair went from full to thin back and forth) .

My goodness where did you come from? All this time I misunderstood this porosity thing thinking that my type 4's hair was low porosity but it turns out I am smack dab High and perhaps off the scales. You are a godsend. I wondered why my curl pattern around my edges changed...I no longer have a curl... it's just kinky straight. Now I get it. Thank you., thank you, for sharing your knowledge. Not only subscribing to you but now unsubscribing to others who misled me.

My hair is naturally higher-porosity, but after all my chemical abuse... I think a sidewalk in July holds water longer. Friends oft' think I've coloured my hair when they see it wet, because it's about three shades darker than normal. But I'm learning how to seal in the moisture better, all thanks to you. You are such an amazing teacher. Your actual students are so lucky to have you.

This video was E X T R E M E L Y helpful and I'm about to download the guide NOW! I have been watching video after video on how to get my daughter's hair to retain moisture. I've spent so much money trying product after product, and you explained her hair to perfection (moisture today, dry tomorrow, the tangling,ect.) and now I know I've been a horrible natural hair mother 😆. Everything you said NOT to do to high porosity hair I've done to hers because I didn't know!😧 Hopefully now with this information I can help sis out, because she love love loves her curls, but I haven't let her wear them because I've been torturing to poor things 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thank you so much, and thank you from my daughter and her curls too. This video saved the life of many curls today. 😄❤

First of all Linwood, I want to thank you for doing such a thoroughly video on hair porosity. Neither again will I watch another RU-vidr trying to explain this. I don't want to hear or see another water test to determine your hair porosity. This video is informative and educational of explaining this topic 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 .I wish another person try to do a video on this because they are surely going to get a thumbs down👎🏿.I have heard this from a licensed cosmetologist and teacher do I know better. I don't have to take information from an amateur anymore but I have a professional who knowswhat they are talking about. Thanks you again @❤
