I have fine, high porosity curls & just wanted to say that the twist leave in conditioner you recommend is actually one of my favs! I also love the weather up lotion! It doesn't weigh my hair down at all
Hi! I’ve fine, high porosity what gel do you use? I dont know if i feel like buying a proper hairspray too for a strong hold/cast.
@@sa221 I'm a product junkie so I use several different gels lol. The AG liquid effects is really good, especially when I layer it on top of the AG curl fresh definer. Aveda's flaxseed & aloe gel is great too. They're both nice & runny so they're very lightweight, & they both have protein. Bounce curls gel works really well on my hair too. I love to use foams too.
@@VengefulAngeI have you found any mousse that you like? I'm also high porosity/fine but have waves and the mousse/gel/mousse technique always seems to work the best for me. I just bought the pantene curl mousse the other day and was nervous when I discovered it has 1 star reviews across the board since they apparently changed their formula at some point. I actually love the way my hair turned out with it though with the exception of the major frizz halo I got from it! It actually gave me great volume and definition aside from the frizz
Do you use a curl cream as well or just the leave in conditioner?
Ooh me too
Hello Gena, very helpful. Thank you ❤🤗
This is the video we’ve all been needing TY! 😁🙌🏼
Thank you for this amazing video. I’ve been struggling with my low porosity fine/medium loose curls. Can’t wait to try some of these!
Spot on. Took me years to find recoil for my medium high porosity hair. But it works so well along with the garnier fructise curl treat curling jelly.
Hey Gena! Thanks for another very helpful video. You really help me understand my hair and what it needs 😊
All of your videos are very helpful and informative 😊❤
Gena! What a great informative video! I think its the BEST ive seen. Info for everyone. How kind of you! You are blessed. Luv ya!
FLOR-
Thank you this is super helpful!! I usually don’t like the feel of my hair on day 2, so I will try some of your suggestion.
best video ever. You touched upon every hair type, mine is fine low porosity.
This video is a dream! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I’ve been using the wrong products on my fine, low porosity hair for years.. the weightless curl cream worked amazingly
Thank you for all of the research that you put in with your videos! Looking at hair products at the store is OVERWHELMING! Labels can only explain so much. I enjoy hearing about the individual ingredients and what they do specifically for the hair. So much help!!! THANK YOU!
Love your shop page!! My hair is probably fine and more on the high porosity side. Currently, I'm using the Twist Leave In and Twist all weather gel, but I mix in just a bit of the Aussie Instant Freeze gel with it and it's the perfect combo for my hair! I also spray some of the Aussie Instant Volume hairspray while wet before diffusing and my waves/curls have never looked better! The hairspray trick was a game changer for me!
Fine hair, high porosity. Love Curlsmith Aqua, and Ouidad Out of Thin Hair. For leave in, I’m obsessed with Pacifica Coco Bond leave in mask.
From best I can tell, I think I have fine normal porosity hair. I have never seen another curly RUclipsr go into depth the way you do about various hair porosities and best products to use. Great insight!
This video blows my mind as I have low porosity hair, it might be the healthiest I’ve ever had it in my adult life, and my hair loves protein and just soaks it all up! I’m constantly trying to find products with more and more protein!
Fine high porosity I use CS smith combo the soufflé I glaze it amazing results
I really need help to determine my hair. I do have fine hair and medium porosity due to a little bleaching for highlights. My hair is experiencing breakage. This was helpful.
Thanks for this video! I have medium fine hair with medium low porosity. I love being able to use your filters to determine what I need. I see that you have a 'no synthetic fragrances,' which is great. I'd love to have filters for the smell level - fragrance free, low fragrance, strong fragrance. I can't do a lot of smells, so this would help a lot. Even natural fragrances can bother me. For example, I can't do the strength line from Curlsmith because of the strong smell.
Also, I would love to understand if I need protein or bond building care in my hair. My hair is dry, but it can get weighed down pretty quickly.
I have fine hair with very coarse grays, low to medium porosity. Finally, after a long, long search for a good shampoo and conditioner I found that Curlsmith Vivid Tones Shampoo and Glow Perfecting conditioner works the best for my hair. It's not too heavy for my fine hair and my grays love the conditioner. (I don't color my hair.) I then use the CS multi-tasking conditioner with the feather light protein cream. This seems to work best with frizz and taming the grays. I also tried the new Wave spray, which I liked, but it smells awful as the orange line in CS does (to me). Thank you, Gena, love your tips!!
Thanks very much for this. So helpful!! I had never heard of Curl Bounce and I thought Ouidad gel didn’t work because I tried the featherlight version. I have high porosity coarse textured hair so I could only get defined but dried-out hair or moisturized coils that totally frizzed out on day 2. The Ouidad gel in the red bottle you recommended worked beautifully. I actually got decent hold for several days! And a little tip for you dry hair girlies: try this gel with Curl Bounce defining butta. It’s a cream not a butter, but even more moisturizing than the clump and define cream.
This was very helpful!!! Just ordered the Twist hair gel!!!! My hairdresser said that my hair is fine, but it is damaged from straightening it with a blowdryer during the winter about a dozen times. Never doing that again!!!! Got 2 inches chopped off my length and I am trying to get my hair healthy again. Thank you for this video!!!
Hi Gena, thanks so much for this video. It’s very informative. I really appreciate you doing this about the products for which hair types. most products don’t really specify which particular hair types they are for. one thing I like to mention or ask, I did notice that in this video and some other ones you say that you have medium and coarse textured hair, but in some other videos I’ve seen you’ve mentioned that you’ve had very fine or fine hair. Does this change over time? was your hair more fine when it was not as healthy like from heat damage or color damage and then maybe changes as your hair gets healthy I’m just curious. Thanks so much again.
Thank you so much, Genia. This helped a lot. Maybe add some products, silicone free & dye free finishing products like oils or heat protectant sprays with spf. Also some products for platinum blonde hair. It has been a real chore to find them. After a while some turn my hair really brassy / orange. I’ve done violet masks however reading some of the ingredients are not that good to absorb in the body. Maybe down the road you could invent your own clean product that addresses these concerns. Again thank you so much. It takes a lot of time to do what you do. So I’m so appreciative of that. 💝
About the difference between a leave in and a curl cream is the density of the cream and how much more moisture it provides for your hair. If you style with a brush and coil style you can create longevity to definition with a gel, a strong hold does work best. You can add a mouse in the end to provide volume
I’m thick,coarse, high porosity at least on the half of my hair with old highlights. I’m growing my grey out it’s been a little over a year since I’ve had color. NotAfrican American hair. I have trouble finding anything that really holds & keeps frizz at bay. One of my go to’s is Kinky Curly curling custard. I definitely have different textures & porosities throughout. Question is Twist different because surprisingly Ouidad does nothing for my hair. I wondered if LUS would be for me or what other styling products would you recommend?You’re awesome and beautiful Gena☺️💖
Hi Gena, Can you recommend a good hair spray that will help with adding some volume at the crown? I have high porosity hair and I think medium texture. Thank you so much!
My hair is moderately coarse, and curly and thick. It takes some time to get fully wet in the shower but after water is squeezed out it does not take very long to dry(so loses moisture).
I have fine hair but natural waves. I am still learning. You have helped thank you!
Yes! They are a bit more lightweight then it may be fine. Just make sure your hair isn’t feeling greasy or weighed down
My hair doesn't get greasy often. I have to find stuff that won't weigh it down. Watching your videos has helped me look into the right things to try. Still finding things I like to use. I am really happy to be on the journey to better hair care.
u r the best
Thanks for the video Gena. Great video idea. I appreciate all the work you’ve put into this. My only suggestion would have to provide 2 options for each category at 2 different price points.
Also wanted to mention that I love to use both AG products together. Sometimes I add Verb CFG before adding my Liquid Effects on top for extra volume.
I have fine to normal hair strands and its high porosity long curly hair. Please let me know what products i should use from cleansing to gel and everything in between. I've had a lot of frizz problems!
Thank you for all of the information! My biggest problem is HOLD and GRIT.. nothing gives real hold. I was using this ancient brand 3 in 1 Clairol condition mousse. They discontinued it. I have tried EVERYTHING! Nothing holds or if it holds, it holds for day 1 then that’s it. PLEASE, if you have any suggestions!
Also, if using with the ouidad gel should I use the cream also when wet or when dry?
incredibly impressive.
I have very thin, low prosperity and fully damaged and lost my density can u please suggest hair products
Hello- which Bounce cream are you holding up for the Coarse- high porosity hair type? I can’t read it and the products in the description look different than what you’re holding up. Thanks!!
Hi Gena … I have low porosity hair…it’s gray and wavy and course hair. What do I do? It frizzes easily and the waves come out in humidity. In winter the same happens. It gets dry after a day or two. It actually gets ver dry perhaps more than frizz
What products work for virgin, thick, coarse, low porosity hair? My daughter is a curly girl and I have straight hair, so I’m at a loss when using shampoos, conditioners, or any products on her hair. I’ve tried many different products and her hair always feels very dry, straw like.
I have super thick, corse, curly hair. It’s fairly healthy
Me to I’m 3B
Thanks for another great video! Do you have a cgf alternative for the AG products as I believe they have some silicones? Thanks!
Only the Liquid Effects contains one water soluble silicone so it’s totally fine. It can wash out easily with mild shampoo
I have type 3 C curls aka like cork screw. What to use?
Would you consider grey hair high porosity due to lack of pigment?
Wat are the best products for thick coarse dry curly hair
I bleached and dyed my hair red about 3-4 months ago and it’s growing painfully slow and has a ton of split ends and frizz and it looks like high porosity hair but when I did the porosity test it stayed on the top of the water. I assumed I have low porosity hair so I bought a ton of protein free lightweight products and started oiling my hair weekly with avocado oil and grape seed oil which are good for low porosity hair. I can go days without shampooing my hair and it doesn’t get too oily at my scalp but my ends get super frizzy and rough so I keep piling on products almost every day which I don’t know if that’s good. I don’t know how often I should clarify, condition, whether I should use hydrating conditioners or protein masks. I don’t know if I need heavy products or lightweight ones. I don’t know if my hair likes water or not because water just sits on it. I have 3A curls that are medium texture. I’m so frustrated with this. There’s just so much breakage even before I bleached my hair it’s just worse now.
I have a very dry frizzy hair and now weak. Any styling product I use, it will end a oily scalp and dry end hair
I have type 3 curly hair,low porosity,coarse hair,medium density,can you please recommend products for me,i would be very grateful if you could reply,i want something light weight strong hold and super definition
I have thin hair wavy and curly hair is just hard to find products my hair is dry and absorbs products so fast I style my hair by afternoon is Friezzi have to add more products
Hi!
I’ve been trying to figure out my hair for so long and just was wondering if you could give me some advice.
I have 2a-2b waves , I would say medium density , and thick hair. I don’t typically use heat on my hair, maybe once a month.
Based off the strand of hair in a glass of water test, I have low porosity hair. my hair takes a long time to dry, water beads up on my hair, it’s easily tangled when it’s wet that it tangles even after I just brushed it. I’ve also noticed that my hair has been feeling “gummy” after washes , I don’t know if that makes any sense.
However , I read that low porosity tends to have oily scalp, which is actually the exact opposite for me. It take forever for my hair to get oily. I could go a whole week without washing before I saw a glimpse of oil in my hair , so that’s was kind of confusing to me. Do you have any advice for me?
What to use on hair that is dense I believe high porosity dry and dull and I want reduce my volume,I’m a senior 74 yrs old stopped dying my hair over three yrs ago so its mostly gray.Any help Thanks 😊
Can you have two types of porosity in your hair? I did the strand test and part of the strand sank but the other half stayed at the top.
Gena, would you recommend using a silicone free shampoo and conditioner or a water soluble silicone shampoo and conditioner for Low density, high porosity wavy hair?
I generally just recommend avoiding silicone in most products. For someone with high porosity hair or those dealing with humidity, it would be more useful in a sealing oil or in your gel as a finisher to help block humidity.
low porosity hair is very prone to frizz?
I.have low Porosity thin hair what can l use it doesn't curl anymore and hard to moisturize
This is such a helpful video! Thanks! I have a question about porosity... Does coloring your hair with a semi permanent hair color damage or change your hairs porosity?
Good question! I’m not sure but I can research it!
@@GenaMarie Awesome, thanks!
😂😂😂 my low porosity hair LOVES PROTEIN!
I still need help my hair get wet easily it dries medium if I put gel and curling cream the next day it’s falls down I do the pineapple method when I go to sleep it still falls. I just want my curls to pop😢
PLEASE HELP! I have low porosity hair and have like 2c/3b hair, The front of my hair is curly but the back back of my hair is wavy, My hair is also fine. Whenever my hair dried its kinda frizzy too…
can anybody help me find the product for me… I’m struggling 🙏😭
Is shea moisture manuka honey and yogurt shampoo and conditioner good for low porosity,fine hair?
Anything shea moisture is too heavy for this hair type in my opinion. Maybe their light blue label line which is a little lighter weight
@@GenaMarie can you mention the name of the light blue line shampoo and conditioner please..
I have low porosity, curly, thin, letting it go gray, hair. I didn't know how different gray hair would be. Should I use a different product for gray hair? Thank you! 😊
Nope, the only thing with gray hair is it can be a little bit more tangle and more dry. Lightweight oils can help
5 months ago I went to a hairdresser to go gray completely and stop coloring my hair. Lots of damage and my hair oxidized , so instead of staying gray it turned light brown. After spending 3 years of no heat and babying my hair to be healthy , I am back to square one😢. I have been using the k18 and it has helped, but have to wait for the damage to grow out. My hair used to suck up humidity quickly and got lots of frizz with very little tangles, now I have lots of mayor tangles, frizz and the top of my head gets wet quickly and where the damage is it takes longer to get wet, I’m guessing cause of the damage. I have been using the AG curl cream and Gel, I also use the Aveda botanicals rich mask once a week….do you think I need more protein?
It sounds like you’re probably getting enough protein. You’re also using K 18 which is great for restoring the hair

I have super thick, corse, curly hair. It frizzes really easy
I have gray wavy low porosity hair that is course …I’m using kinky curly leave in conditioner with not your mothers curl cream and kinky curly custard gel . When humid it looses the wave and gets very dry after a few days
I have fine texture, low porosity hair . 3b, 3c just for reference 😊I love styling my fine curly hair with the as I am leave detangler, (sometimes I add a bit of the sheamoisture restorative leave in conditioner if my hair feels dry) Not your mother's combing curly cream and I top it off with a little bit of Not your mother's super hold gel mixed with water.
I click on here but says page not available? I’ll try again later.
@@dawnfrye4343 sorry about that! Try this genamarie.co/2023/06/picking-products-for-my-subscribers-curl-types/
I have sensitive skin and can only use fragrance free curly products, which makes it harder to find the right products for my fine hair.
Very fine, low density, low porosity
I have coarse high porosity hair and and I think something to be aware of is humectants like glycerin. They open up the hair cuticle which is the opposite of what us high porosity curlies need. They leave my hair looked undefined, dry and fluffy. It’s so confusing ouidads ‘anti-humidity’ line has glycerin at the beginning of the ingredients list 🤦🏻♀️🙄 why would they do that????? I used the styling cream AND the gel though. Maybe using a glycerin free cream/leave in plus the ouidad gel would be okay but I’m hesitant
Same! I've never tried the red label Ouidad Anti Humidity gel for that reason. Their white label Anti Humidity gel is good 👍. The glycerin is further down the ingredients list.
We have to consider the entire product formulation and not just one ingredient. The gel also contains multiple polyquat ingredients which humidity proof the hair, even with glycerin present. If the gel just had glycerin and no humidity blocking ingredients, it wouldn’t work well. The glycerin is there for moisture. Whenever I use a gel that doesn’t contain glycerin, my hair gets dry by day 2. I also have high porosity hair and it’s the only one that works well in humidity and doesn’t leave my hair dry.
I have no idea what my porosity is but since I don’t heat style or dye it , isn’t it safe to assume it’s just low porosity? Idk 🤷🏼
Nope it could also be medium porosity! Low porosity can be dry because it doesn’t let moisture in. I’ve also heard a how some people are “naturally” high porosity due to nutrient deficiencies or other internal factors. I’m doing more research on this at the moment though.
I have low porosity hair, medium, and tried the LUS Sea Moss Gel, and can say it's the worst thing I've
ever used! It left my hair straight and frizzy with big lumps! I had to wash it again, there was nothing I could do to save it.
No mousse?
HOLY CRAP
For thin and low pos. A light leave in Guovani lightweight leave in and a gel or a mouse. That's mine
Hi!! I know you left this comment a while ago, but wondering which gel and which mousse you use? I also have fine and low porosity hair and struggling lol thank you!
One thing you have wrong is that high porosity is essentially more damaged. Some people simply have high porosity hair naturally. My hair is completely healthy, virgin, never damaged and it will never be low porosity.
Can you share any literature that shows that virgin hair can be high porosity from genetics? I have researched this topic in the past and haven't found anything that explores if hair can naturally be high porosity. I have only found research on how healthy hair is level 1 porosity, and the more damage that's done to it, porosity increases. I would love to do a more in depth video on this topic. I'm curious if high porosity can be from genetics, or if it can grow out of your head high porosity from things such as diet, nutrient deficiencies, and absorbing chemicals through products, hair dye, etc. on the scalp.
