Hi, I found your channel and I subscribed. I am a low porosity fine natural coily senior age 64. My hair is multi texture. It grows Very slow. I need to know what TGIN hair products are for my hair? Thanks for your video.
Hello, I went back to a perm after eleven years and my hair is shedding/coming with strands little by little. I go to the shop every other week & I don’t wash my hair in between that time. My beautician said that’s why. I find that hard to believe, but I’ll take her word for it. I’m starting to go see her every week beginning this week to see if that makes a difference. I was up early this morning wondering if it could be the products design essentials that she’s using. My hair is really fine whether it’s high, low or medium porosity is beyond me. It’s worrisome seeing my hair get thin.
Hi design essential is a great product line so I don’t think it’s that. Without really knowing any of the particulars for seeing your hair in person, it may be over processed. It may be protein. It may have too much moisture. There are so many factors that come into play. Have you had a protein treatment since having your relaxer? it may be something as simple as reinforcing the bonds in the hair. It could also be something internal such as low iron or vitamin D deficiency. Try and see if a protein treatment helps first and then maybe see if it’s something internal.
@ Thank you for replying. I haven’t had a protein treatment, so I’ll ask my beautician to try that. Where are you located? I’m already knowing it isn’t any where near me in Cali 🫢. I would jump on your client list quick. Again, thanks for replying.
Very informative video. I think my number one struggle is retaining length and knowing when to cut my ends. My hair never looks like it's growing even though it is. I think the issue is it grows and breaks off, so I don't see the length.
New subbie as a high porosity girlie. Key changer for me is using water while styling. Can you give your thoughts on the no oil, no butters? It didn’t work for me at all and now some are going back saying it has damaged their hair. Thanks
The “no oils, no butters” approach-works for some but not for everyone, and its effectiveness depends on individual hair needs, porosity, and overall routine. For high porosity hair, which often loses moisture quickly, oils and butters help seal hydration. Removing them completely can lead to dryness and breakage because moisture isn’t being locked in. If you live in a dry or cold climate, hair may need extra protection, which oils and butters provide. Without them, hair is more prone to environmental stress and damage. The success of a “no oils, no butters” routine depends on consistent hydration through water-based products and using other techniques (like leave-in conditioners) to prevent moisture loss. If hydration isn’t replenished regularly, dryness can set in if using oils to "moisturize" hair. Hope this helps
My hair struggle- kinky curly, fine, frizzy, no shine, dry and hard to keep moisturized (high porosity hair- just due to it being fine). Unless I use a co- wash like As I Am coconut cowash, I get tangles especially at the root every single time even when my hair is in twists while washing and massaging scalp in a downward motion- sheesh and then it takes me an hour with my deep conditioner to get tangles out and I then lose hair. Please help me!!!

Hi no I’m on the East Coast in the Cleveland Ohio area
@ Shoot! You know she did do a dark brown cellophane the same day that she permed it. Could that possible be the cause?
It’s usually safe to do a Demi the same day as a relaxer so I’m not sure
Do you have any salon recommendations in Chicago?
Very informative video. I think my number one struggle is retaining length and knowing when to cut my ends. My hair never looks like it's growing even though it is. I think the issue is it grows and breaks off, so I don't see the length.
This is a struggle for so many. Preventing dryness and breakage is key. Keeping your ends moisturized to prevent this is key to retaining length

Thank you for sharing your tips. My biggest struggle is shedding and dryness.
You’re welcome! Do you use any moisturizer on your ends? And are the hair longer or shorter that are shedding?
This was so helpful. Thank you 😊. My struggle is keeping my ends moisturized! I dont think I trim enough so ultimately its MY fault!!! Ugghhh!
You’re welcome. Thank you for taking the time out to leave a comment

These tip are very helpful. My current struggle is no shine and body to my hair. I have high porosity gray hair.
Are you relaxed or natural and do you use heat on your hair or are you heatless natural?
@shadesbyshavonda I'm now a straight hair natural and just started using heat 10 months ago.
