Thanks for the awesome video! I’m a little confused about hair porosity. I’m currently struggling with hard water effects from the state I previously lived in, which means I have lots of mineral build up and dryness. When I do the porosity test with the flairsol bottle the water just sits on top, similar to you. If I work it in with my hands it will absorb into the hair but my hair doesn’t retain the moisture, and it requires a lot of water to actually become wet. Would this be medium porosity or low porosity?
Low porosity, medium density, and very, coarse strands. It doesn't help that it's super dry and almost elbow length. It's gonna take some work to get my hair where it needs to be, but I'm thankful that you share all your hair care knowledge with us. And Happy New York everyone!🎉
Medium to high. Used to be damaged and very high but now that it is healthy most of it is medium but in the front on top and low in the back it remains high.
Layering the scarf and towel might be a new trick for my curls! I have medium to low porosity hair and sometimes it gets tricky when drying. Thanks for the tip! ❤️
Will be trying this out ! I love Olaplex ! Colored my hair a month ago and I used Olaplex right after my curls were so soft and defined but definitely need to try this because Olaplex doesn’t contain protein. Your curls look amazing !!!!!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you!! Your hair porosity test is one that actually makes sense! And your explanation makes way more sense than anyone else I’ve seen. Your curls are poppin’ per usual! Thanks for the tips!!
I watched two other youtubers review this product (Bianca Renee and Kimberly C.) while decent reviews... I love that ur review is shorter and still seem more detailed and thorough! New subbie! Strongly considering this product now
Your hair looks gorgeous. You are the first person I’ve seen review these products and they seem fantastic. Hopefully they will be available in the UK soon 😃
Such a helpful video!! I’ve seen a few videos on hair porosity but they are confusing and not clear. This was exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!! Could someone with low porosity still use this line ?
Great explanation on porosity and thank you for mentioning that your hair may not be the same all over your head and it may change through time and with hormones. I am in my 40's and my curly hair is definitely different to what it was in my 20's/30's. Reading the information on the products is really helpful too.
Omg! Thanks for really clarify this porosity thing...I read sooo much about but never quite understand how to found out, I think the water cup test but never got a clear answer, will def try your new method. I notice after doing highlights the back of my hair got realllyyyyyy dried omg dry...def will try
Hi there! Low porosity here! I can’t wait to use these products. I pick them up from Ulta tomorrow & I’m excited! Your hair looks great! I plan on following your step by step instructions. Thank you!
I’ve just recently discovered your channel. Your explanation on determining hair porosity is the best I’ve seen. Now I can finally figure out a little more about my hair. Your hair is fabulous! It looks so healthy, which is my goal for my wavy hair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Just brought the full line today and currently air drying my hair! I am hopeful for beautfiul curls again. Because I am also recovering my hair and scalp due to DC.
WOW WOW WOW! This video was SOOOO helpful! Thank you. From figuring out my hairs porosity to how to work with these products. I currently use a lot of DEVA products (I have for 6 years) and have started following you recently on Instagram and realize I need to change. Your video has helped me to know what product line to change to. Thank you!
Love the towel/silk scarf idea! I still use a terry cloth towel because I never liked the microfiber or tshirt method. I will definitely try this. Thank you!!!
Thanks for this video! My daughters hair never seems to absorb moister and now I know why! I'll be looking into products to help her hair retain moisture
I definitely will try some of this line. I have breakage from partial highlights in my crown and I need to work on getting my hair to grow back healthy
Your hair came out "very nice" I have wavy/curly fine hair, but alot of it, and I'm a big fan of curlsmith. When you use the strength line, can you use it weekly since it has protein or is it every few days/week.
Hey!! I love curl smith products but the fragrance doesn’t love me. My scalp gets so angry any time I use them because of all the Limone and fragrance added in. I would LOVE to hear some of your fragrance free recommendations!! Especially for scalp treatments, feel like we should not be putting fragrance or essential oils on our scalp 😅
Amazing results 👏 I really want to figure out how to get my curls well separated, bouncy, fluffy and not dry ends , I'm trying a lot since 4 years and I can't figure it out 😭 I usually it feels like the products just setting on the top, and even if are absorbed they do not the job I want I have fine low porosity hair 3b.
Wow!! I’ve got those new products on order in the new set and really wanted a tutorial to ensure that I use them correctly. Thank you for your help here! 🥂💝🥂
Thanks for this video. Never knew it's best to check throughout your whole head to see if you have different porosity levels in your hair. My hair has been damaged by hair color and overall terrible ways I've been keeping my twists happy. The protein n moisture level is so darn tricky with high porosity hair
Can’t wait to buy this new line!!! I just got back into using curl smith because of you and was in need of protein from this line! I believe I have high porosity hair. Great video and your hair looks amazing!🥰🤗
Thanks so much.. I’ve been struggling with figuring out my hair porosity.. this video breaks it down and can’t wait to try this on myself. But first I need that water bottle! Lol I just tried olaplex3 on my hair. I want to see if that works well before getting the new curlsmith line.. that foam is very tempting. I love a good foam product. Might give in sooner than I thought. Thanks again for all the info and tips ! ☺️😘
Oooof, newbie here. I need all the help I can get trying to restore my curls after bleaching and dying it for years. Thanks for the tip on porosity, turns out I'm low. I may give Curlsmith a try. Looking forward to watching more videos :)
Yesss honey your hair is beautiful!!! I love that you added explanations too! I just subscribed to your channel, I’m a Bianca Renee follower but I love your videos too.
You have such pretty curls! I have all the curlsmith products. Just got the protein line. I’m new to curls and am going to try your hair twisting trick.
Very helpful video ! I think my curly hair is high porosity from using permanent hair color. Just got this new purple strength kit delivered from Ulta. How do you refresh your hair for days 2 or 3? Thanks! Happy New Year 🎊
Wow your hair turned out so good. I have question, how often should i use these protein products, is it once a month or is it just a good thing to put into your routine?🥰👩🏽🦱❤️
I’ll be rewatching this and testing my hair ✌🏽 TY! I’m excited to try this brand💯 So I’m thinking I need protein for sure. I try to put an oil ( olive, coconut or avocado)on my hair like a treatment once a month. Question, am I wasting my time? I don’t have a noticeable difference, I just figured it was good for it 🤷🏼♀️
Your hair looks so nice. Did you put the bond treatment on clean hair and then re-shampoo your hair again? Can you put it on dirty hair and then shampoo.
As always Thank you! I never knew I could spray my hair to see how it absorbs. I love “scrunch your hair like your life depends on it”. Story of a curly girls life lol. Happy New Year!
I have high porosity hair and this video was great. I have some of the products you used. I really hate the color vibrancy shampoo so no new Curlsmith products for me right now. Love your styling tips.
Hi.... thank you for this video...I did this test and what I noticed is that parts of my hair the water acted differently. So how do you determine which product to use if you have a mix of high and low porosity hair?
Thank you for your great video! Can someone describe the smell of the Curlsmith line to me? I always have to order my curl products and don‘t like fruity or bubble gum smells Love the smell of the detox line
Don't you feel that this many products on someone with high porosity fine low density hair would be too much?? I used the Feather light cream and the souffle but now I'm thinking of trying the jelly, should I add the mousse???
Ok used the foam for the first time today, and it did not dispense like yours did. So I’m kinda like 🧐🧐. I’m gonna use it again though because I got good results! I have low porosity hair. 😊
Mine came out of the bottle as clear liquid with a tiny bit foam that tried to form. The more I shook it, the foam started to form. I only used it once so far.
Nice video, but I was more interested in what you thought of the treatment. Many are looking for these reviews and don't follow or sub to everyone they are watching. I have no idea what your hair is like and if the treatment made a huge difference for you. I'm looking for people's opinions of this new product. You're hair is gorgeous nonetheless so I think it looks awesome... but then I didn't think your hair in the beginning looked much different... you have beautiful hair, and are a very beautiful woman...I think you were born with it...😉. Smiles and blessings...
My hair type is high porosity. I really sorry when I saw this video because I live in Ethiopia (Addis Ababa) so I don't know how I get it this product? I really want to try it.😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have natural beachy waves but I can't find anything to help it keep shape, and not have that frizzy brushes out wacky wave then blahhh. Could this work?
I love the stylers!! Because my hair is dry i will probably only use the rehab salve monthly but I definitely think it’s something curlies should have!
What’s your hair’s porosity??
Thanks for the awesome video! I’m a little confused about hair porosity.

I have low porosity hair, getting my hair moistured is a chore when I lose all moisture so I only "strip" my hair about only 3 months
Low porosity, medium density, and very, coarse strands.
It doesn't help that it's super dry and almost elbow length. It's gonna take some work to get my hair where it needs to be, but I'm thankful that you share all your hair care knowledge with us.
And Happy New York everyone!🎉
High porosity- and I just got my curly hair highlighted for the first time so I definitely need to strengthen these bonds!!!!
Medium to high. Used to be damaged and very high but now that it is healthy most of it is medium but in the front on top and low in the back it remains high.
This video was great!! So helpful!! Love seeing that you added a gel at the end cuuuuuz I also needed more hold. Lol Great job boo! 👏🏽👏🏽❤️
thanks boo!! I tested out a few combos and this was the best!! Their other gel didn’t like the protein leave in lol 💜💜💜
Thats so funny that you commented, because I immediately thought of you when Felicia said "Hi curl friends" 😊😊
Can we just take a minute and appreciate your voice? You should narrate audio books, honestly, I could listen to you all day.
Great info, thanks 🙌🏻
After years of hearing about hair porosity, this is the first time it was explained so simply and straightforward!
Layering the scarf and towel might be a new trick for my curls! I have medium to low porosity hair and sometimes it gets tricky when drying. Thanks for the tip! ❤️
You’re more than welcome!!!! Hope it helps!!
Will be trying this out ! I love Olaplex ! Colored my hair a month ago and I used Olaplex right after my curls were so soft and defined but definitely need to try this because Olaplex doesn’t contain protein. Your curls look amazing !!!!!!! 😍😍😍
Great video, Felicia! I loved your results from the new strength line 😍🙌🏼

Such a helpful video!! I’ve seen a few videos on hair porosity but they are confusing and not clear. This was exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!!
Could someone with low porosity still use this line ?
I cannot wait to give this a try and document my progress
I’ve already ordered mine. I can’t wait to try them!!!
Great explanation on porosity and thank you for mentioning that your hair may not be the same all over your head and it may change through time and with hormones. I am in my 40's and my curly hair is definitely different to what it was in my 20's/30's. Reading the information on the products is really helpful too.
Thank you for sharing! It’s great to get a visual of the porosity test. I’m going to re test in the next few days😊
Omg!

Same here. This test seems so much easier than the other test.
So happy to help!!

Beautiful!!! Loved the drying excess water tip with silk scarf and towel. 👌❤️
🤗🤗🤗
I appreciate that your video wasn’t a comparison to Olaplex! I’ve got an Ulta coupon, so I’m planning to try the salve soon!
I agree. Tired of all the Olaplex comparison videos.
I love this! Your hair looks soo soft, shiny, and healthy. You are just stunning 🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼
I agree! Balance. I like to do a combination of both.
The curl comeback!!! YAASSSSS 😍😍
Thanks for this video! My daughters hair never seems to absorb moister and now I know why! I'll be looking into products to help her hair retain moisture
Results are beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Great video!

Great video sis! 😌
Hi Felicia this video is very helpful... your hair is amazing ❤️ I’m trying your wash and condition method now 💕💕💕💕
Hey!! I love curl smith products but the fragrance doesn’t love me. My scalp gets so angry any time I use them because of all the Limone and fragrance added in. I would LOVE to hear some of your fragrance free recommendations!! Especially for scalp treatments, feel like we should not be putting fragrance or essential oils on our scalp 😅
Jessicurl makes fragrance free options! I just ordered their free samples online. I’m super sensitive to fragrance too!
@@Angelaangelat thank you!!!!
@@Julianell97 my pleasure! ☺️
Amazing results 👏
I really want to figure out how to get my curls well separated, bouncy, fluffy and not dry ends , I'm trying a lot since 4 years and I can't figure it out 😭
I usually it feels like the products just setting on the top, and even if are absorbed they do not the job I want
I have fine low porosity hair 3b.
Wow!! I’ve got those new products on order in the new set and really wanted a tutorial to ensure that I use them correctly.
Thank you for your help here! 🥂💝🥂
Thanks for this video. Never knew it's best to check throughout your whole head to see if you have different porosity levels in your hair. My hair has been damaged by hair color and overall terrible ways I've been keeping my twists happy.
The protein n moisture level is so darn tricky with high porosity hair
Your CURLS look AMAZING!!!! I NEED THEM HOOPS FOR 2021!!! Please tell me where you got them??? I'll pay any price...lol
💗💗 THANK YOU!!! They’re the jenniferfisherjewelry 4” gold hoops!! 💓💓

Very helpful video ! I think my curly hair is high porosity from using permanent hair color. Just got this new purple strength kit delivered from Ulta. How do you refresh your hair for days 2 or 3? Thanks! Happy New Year 🎊
This video was so helpful! What diffuser do you use?
I love this!!’ I need to buy these products right away
Wow your hair turned out so good. I have question, how often should i use these protein products, is it once a month or is it just a good thing to put into your routine?🥰👩🏽🦱❤️
Great review! Beautiful results, Felicia! I want to buy the protein styling cream!

I needed this....thank you! Very informative...a lot of questions I had were answered 🤗
Great porosity test tip! How long do I have to wait before I can identify being low or medium porosity?
I have high porosity hair and this video was great. I have some of the products you used. I really hate the color vibrancy shampoo so no new Curlsmith products for me right now. Love your styling tips.
Thank you!!!!
Curls are gorgeous!!
Gorgeous those curls
Hi.... thank you for this video...I did this test and what I noticed is that parts of my hair the water acted differently.
So how do you determine which product to use if you have a mix of high and low porosity hair?
Perfect curls ❤️
Thank you for your great video!
Can someone describe the smell of the Curlsmith line to me? I always have to order my curl products and don‘t like fruity or bubble gum smells
Love the smell of the detox line
Beautiful Curls 💖
Wow this video was very helpful. I wrote some notes down for future use. I hope I get to try these products soon they are just so expensive for me 🙏🏼😩
🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜
Excellent video. Hair in a glass of water was very inconsistent. lol. You have beautiful hair.
thank you for your video. What is the difference between the leave in cream and the multitask conditioner of this line?
Gorgeous hair!
How often do you do use the Rehab Salve?
Don't you feel that this many products on someone with high porosity fine low density hair would be too much?? I used the Feather light cream and the souffle but now I'm thinking of trying the jelly, should I add the mousse???
Ok used the foam for the first time today, and it did not dispense like yours did. So I’m kinda like 🧐🧐. I’m gonna use it again though because I got good results!
I have low porosity hair. 😊
Shake it first and see what happens!! 💜💜💜
My foam also came out super liquidy but will try shaking more next time
Mine came out of the bottle as clear liquid with a tiny bit foam that tried to form. The more I shook it, the foam started to form. I only used it once so far.
Does your hair need to be cleansed prior to use? Can I just use as as a pre-poo and cleanse after?
your hair is gorgeous
Do you get bigger ringlets if you finger coil bigger sections or does your curl pattern mainly dictate that?
Question: does hair have to be clean to use the bond salve?
Hola Felicia! Gracias por el 📹. Fue bien informativo. Me gustaria saber de adonde eres.
You didn't talk about the effect of the bond builder? Did it make a difference or no?
I would like to see this on damaged hair
Nice video, but I was more interested in what you thought of the treatment. Many are looking for these reviews and don't follow or sub to everyone they are watching. I have no idea what your hair is like and if the treatment made a huge difference for you. I'm looking for people's opinions of this new product. You're hair is gorgeous nonetheless so I think it looks awesome... but then I didn't think your hair in the beginning looked much different... you have beautiful hair, and are a very beautiful woman...I think you were born with it...😉. Smiles and blessings...
I have a question is Maui moisture shampoo and conditioner good for curly hair because I noticed that it has DMD in it
yesssss i needed this!
Do these products work for low porosity hair?
My hair type is high porosity. I really sorry when I saw this video because I live in Ethiopia (Addis Ababa) so I don't know how I get it this product? I really want to try it.😭😭😭😭😭😭
Everyone has me wanting to use Curlsmith but I'm in Canada and don't have access to it. 😩
Beautiful! 💖💖💖
I have natural beachy waves but I can't find anything to help it keep shape, and not have that frizzy brushes out wacky wave then blahhh. Could this work?
Definitely! Just make sure u balance with moisture!
Long term results?
How did you like the product and what was different to you hair
I love the stylers!!
Because my hair is dry i will probably only use the rehab salve monthly but I definitely think it’s something curlies should have!
Protein makes my curls more defined!
I'm confused 👈bc my hair does a lil of both high and low porosity issues 👈👈How do you handle that situation 👈💯💯💯
Incorporate techniques for both porosities!!
Do these products cause buildup?
Very exquisite hair, but it needs expensive products and long steps/routine to attain it.
My hair is so dry that it can drink a river😩
Ok i need protein
Can you need both moisture and protein lol
I was so excited to try the protein line until I learned it has almond oil and I'm allergic 😩
