Great job! Thanks!
should you only use coconut oil on clarifying days ??
wow awesome info really needed that ? I moisturize my hair and then twist as my protective style by it being fine but alot of it I'm not understanding why after my hair dries it has no shine and seems hard with no body but while it's twisted it's soft and looks really healthy...I too stopped using coconut oil on my hair maybe I should start using it again does anyone have any suggestions....I take good care of it but i have to register my hair every nite bc of tangles an seems like I have no real definition HELP an thanx
Green Beauty Channel ™ Can you do a video on naturals with medium porosity? My hair isn't low or high in porosity, so any tips for medium porosity would be quite helpful 🤗 Btw, I love your channel - it's very informative and helpful
Ms. I don't know if you know how much all of the hard work you put into your research and videos is greatly appreciated. EVERYTHING you say makes perfect sense and you deliver them with unopinionated facts. I make reference to a 300-page long herbal medicine bible from time to time when I have aches and pain. I hope you will put out a natural hair bible in the future. You certainly have already written the content.

I'm just glad the videos are still available. Thank you! Thank you for such great content!!
10:42 exactly!!!! Not trying to self promote but I did a whole video on this. Like I broke it down with even a clip showing how the oil is made! Still got messages telling me I'm wrong cause as she said "coconut oil makes my hair stiff so therefore it does have protein". lol.......Anyway Girl I hope this video hit over a million!!!
NappyFu TV I saw that video NappyFu. the oil itself is hydrophobic so it wouldn't contain protein. but coconut like all nuts have protein in it but the protein isn't in the oil, it's in the milk/water. protein can end up in the oil if the oil has not been refined properly. but that's essentially what's in your video
I meant to say hydrophobic
1tsybitsyspider awwww thank you so much!!
NappyFu TV girl you helped my hair GROW. 4C for life- your videos are my fave.
NappyFu TV - not all coconut oil are created equal. Some of these manufacturers use sodium in the refining process. This dries out the hair and leaves it ragged and damaged!
I'm low porosity. Sometimes I feel like I never get enough moisture in and it takes eons for it to dry. I'm just trying to get my hair to a way where if it shrinks it doesn't look like a q-tip or helmet.
I feel you on this sis but I had to chuckle when you said qtip/helmet 🤭
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The struggle is real!!😂😭 I thought I was the only one who had this issue.
🤣🤣🤣
09:20 my sentiment exactly!!!!!! Everything is this video is spot on. Reasons why I loooovveeee the science of hair.😍
BEST hair channel on RUclips. Period. With other naturalistas, it’s about the popularity and getting the most coin but with GBC it’s all about the care, quality and love for our hair. God I love this channel so much
O.M.G. finally we have the answer about coconut oil on low porosity hair Thank you !!!
You are amazing. Sad to say I'm 47, 10 years natural and still have not figured out my hair. I feel like I need to start over. I grateful to have found you. Keep it up!
It’s a slow process! Don’t worry :)
I’m so confused and I might just go back to being bald.
Omg same 😅hey I'm vegan too!
Me to I'm so sick of this my hair is hard dry 😭
Lol
😂😂😂😂
Monica Gross Need DAILY moisture that’s all
Wow I love you so much I can't even find the right words to express it!
I'm biracial and not to sound racist, but my white mom does NOT know how to take care of my hair.
(She has really been trying her best though, I love her to pieces💕)
You're like that African aunt I always needed!!! 😂👌
*From the bottom of my heart,*
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!😘💕
you're not alone 😃
Rosie Brown you are sooo cute
My sister had the opposite issue with her daughter’s hair. She’s biracial but her hair is straight and behaves like white hair. She had no idea what to do with her hair. 😂
My daughter (also mixed) has hair kind of in between. My biggest struggle has been convincing my husband’s parents how important moisturizer is to my kids’ hair and that the unmanageably was because of the type of combs and brushes they were using. My kids don’t have hair as curly as mine but it’s not as straight as my white FIL’s is or Native MIL’s was. They can’t use fine toothed combs or the same brushes they do. Plus my kids are part me, they need moisturizer, not the same type or amount as me, but it is needed. Almost 14 years and it’s still a battle sometimes. 🤦🏾♀️
@@shadagreen disgusting, people need to stop being so ignorant.
Rosie you're not racist haha I'm biracial too with a white mother and she loves my black daddy just because he is he right? Love that comment about the aunt 💕
I have low porosity hair and can't stand coconut oil. Tried the coconut oil recommendations in the video regarding coconut oil multiple times years ago and they didn't work. It's over used in tons of hair beauty products. I wish companies would stop putting coconut oil in everything because not everyone wants to buy products containing the oil. Plus, I think it's probably a cheap tactic companies use to fill their bottles without putting so much of better quality oils in the products.
I feel the same way about Olive Oil. I'm like damn again. Put some Argan or JoJoba oil something different sheesh!
UrbanLateNights omg Same here. And I see ppl doing the cuties hair style using coconut oil and I feel some type of way.lol
Right. Coconuts produce more oil than other usual plants, so I always felt they used the cheap oils like coconut to get the most profit. And there are almost no options for people allergic to coconut.
My hair HATES coconut oil. It always ends up feeling dry and brittle. I use jojoba oil now and for deep conditioning i use jbco
Omg! I thought I was the only one that felt this way about coconut oil. 👀
Can you please do a video on GELS comparing the low and high Porosity. I’m sure many of us would love to hear the scientific facts on gels especially with wash and gos.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE tell me your going to write a book soon!!!!!! I braid and do a nothing but natural hair!! Your channel has given me life!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!
Omg, the way my 4c hair reacts to coconut oil, confirms my hair is low porosity. I will use it sparingly and when I can apply some heat. This video gives me hope as I get used to my twa stage. Happy healthy hair growth to all you naturals!
06:20 you're welcome hun 😊😊😊😊😍
I legit screamed when I seen this! lol I'm so thankful for this video!
InhaleWithJael me too lol
InhaleWithJael me three! 😂
Me 5!!!
Me too
I've been natural for 20+ years (since college) and am so grateful for youtubers like GreenBeauty for breaking down porosity, density, etc. I was really trying to understand why my hair takes DAYS to dry if I add product. These tips have helped so much!
Wow that's crazy my hair dries so fast
@@Luckimee mine too. I blick And it’s dry. That’s high porosity for you
OMG how intelligent is this youtuber? I'm so glad I found your channel! We can tell that SOO much research has gone into hair types! I'm going to binge watch every single video on your channel :D
Thank you for clearing up that whole coconut oil mess because my hair is low in porosity and it loves coconut oil. Also thank you for telling me not to over night deep condition my hair all the time. Because that's what I thought I had to do to receive any moisture. I definitely don't wanna over due it
I so appreciate the scientific breakdown for my low porosity hair. It is truly important to understand my hair! Thanks!
ivory shea butter is great, avocado oil and mango butter
You are a life saver. You are the best natural hair channel I've seen and I just discovered you today. I wish more youtubers were like you.
I am so in love with this channel, every chance I get while I am at work and home I always log on. You have inspired me to start a youtube channel but I am not consistent at all...smile!
This video is incredible. So well done girl!
i’m mixed mexican/armo/black and have had such trouble with figuring out my hair type. This is gonna change my whole routine 🙌🏼
I noticed last week that my hair stayed wet all day when I put it in a bun and my scalp became super sensitive. With a little tea tree oil and a scalp massage it felt much better. I will be making sure to dry my hair thoroughly from now.
Is it weird that my hair has both low & high porosity traits?? I'm so confused and don't know how to treat my hair properly according to it's true porosity type.
The same
Righttttt
Eureka! That's exactly what I did. Turns out I have low porosity hair. Thanks for the information.
Omg...I just became natural and out of all the videos I've looked at...you have made more sense to me with Dealing with my natural hair...ty so much.
You basically just described me in the beginning of your video.....never too late to get back on track. Great video!
I lovvvvvve your videos!! You should do a separate video on the misconceptions of coconut oils and just on oils in general. Your research and time and effort is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for so much for clearing up the coconut 🥥 issue about having protein in it.. I really appreciate all the hard work you do to bring us this awesome video. I have low porosity hair and I need help.
I’m so glad I found this . I’ve been sitting here avoiding products with coconut oil cause of these other youtubers talking about its a protein ... 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I appreciate you getting to the bottom of Coconut oil. I just thought that my hair was rejecting it but when you broke it down, it made a lot of sense. Thank you!!!
I had trouble knowing my hair porosity after doing all those tests but thanks to this video I am more enlightened. Thanks.
After searching lots of videos about low porosity finally I found a best video about it .Today I had got all my answer's thanks so much for making such a detailed video with pictures .
yayyyyyyyyy!!! And she delivered. Thanks so much for this great video. Waiting for part 2. God bless you real good
Not mad very thankful for the information you're providing can't wait for part 2 😍😍😍😍
Thank you for clearing up the misconception about coconut oil.
I love your videos. I have low porosity and your videos are so educational. They make simple sense. Will be coming back for more education as I move forward on my hair journey.
I'm high porosity but I'd LOVE to see an in depth video on clays such as bentonite clay and how it works, pro, cons, how to use , and how often to use. I'd also LOVE to see a tutorial or video on your Ph Stabilising Spritz from your Green Beauty line and how to use it, when, how often etc. Or how to make your own acidic spray.
Love your vids!
Yes! Rhassoul clay too!
nikqualuv09, she has in-depth videos on all clays check her video logs
GreenBeauty you are back!!! I got so excited when I saw this!
This is awesome. I can't wait for an entire week to see part two. Oh my!
FINALLY A RUclipsR KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO HAIR HEALTH!!! COMING FROM A COSMETOLOGIST😁 A HUGE THANK YOU!!!
I have always assumed I had high porosity hair. Since my hair seemed to dry out an never lasted but after watching some of your videos, I am 90% sure I have low porosity hair and bc I have been treating it like high porosity is hasn't been getting properly moisturized. Waiting 2 full days for my hair to dry sucks, I am going to try out some of your tips! Thanks!!!
I'm really happy to hear that. I hope this new regimen work well !!
I am just now learning about my hair. Thanks for this video. I had no idea about low or high porosity.
This was great, I'm going to re-incorporate coconut oil (I had given up on it as well) into my regimen on wash day. It sat on top my hear and made it look ashy! Thanks so much, can't wait for Part II. :)
Wow God is good, I just realized that I have low porosity and I've been looking for a good video and stumble upon this video from one of the most educational natural hair channels💓
You have a beautiful voice.
Thank You :-)
She really does
I agree.
Agree
Agreed!! So thankful for the lovely voice & calm, clear narration style 💖😍 a joy for the ears!!
Thank you for the video series darling 🌻I was sooooo confused about my porosity
Love love your videos!!! They are done in such great quality and get in detail about things. I’m the type of person who what’s reasons why I’m doing things not just because someone says so. I am all about the science behind everything!!❤️
your voice, the detail, the information.. gold!
This has been the most informative video on hair on you tube I have ever watched. You got straight to the rationale and point. You did talk about your aunt twice removed cat and didn't hype a product (I really appreciated that). Thank you
Didn't**
I've struggled with my hair for 29 years. I've went to a derm (fail). But hands down out of all the videos I have watched, all the hairstyle I went I have never been informed like I was watching this 11 min video. I don't know how many times people have recommended coconut oil and I have to explain to them it doesn't work on my hair and they look at me like I'm crazy! God blessed you!! this is the video I needed to see because I was just about give up on my hair a get a relaxer next week after six years of being natural.
Thank you for this useful video. Most of the low porosity characteristics fit me but I was treating my hair like it was high in porosity. Which explains the oily layer of coconut oil. I'd like to see a safe heat video because I've already put my hair through a lot and I don't want to add heat damage to the list
This video is so informative! I have been wanting to figure out my porosity. Thanks for sharing the signs of low porosity hair!
Wow I’m impressed with ya knowledge of our hair 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾l learn so much from ya. I’m doing the onion 🧅 juice twice weekly for hair growth I already seen results. Thanks for all your good work!
there will always be bandwagons..but not because there is, means the claims are false. Glad you pointed out the protein issue...however irrespective of how some oils are used, some hair just do not work the same way.. just as not all 'dry' skin folks have the same luck with a product geared towards that particular skin type. There are a number of oils my hair just do not like...coconut is one of them (even when I was in my relaxed state).
This is so helpful. I am starting to understand my hair a lot more now.
thanks a lot for this video. i can't wait for PART 2.
Some people just be CHATTIN! But your video was so informative, and overall nicely done from start to finish!! And your voice is so soothing girl I stayed to the very end!
I got the hooded dryer bonnet for Christmas & it really has completely changed deep conditioning for me my products truly penetrate my hair so much better !
I lllllloooovvvveeee all your help for hair. I have been on a hair journey since January. Thank you many blessing.😇😇😇💜💜
I subbed to your channel. I didn't always have such hair struggles until I moved and have been on well water. My hair has become a nightmare to deal with and it started breaking. With well water, there is a build up due to the minerals, so that in conjunction to any styling products, my hair has become unruly, frizzy, dry and started breaking. I used to think my hair was high porosity, but now I know it's low porosity. And, it makes sense that heat helps relax the cuticle, because when I used some heating tools on my hair, I actually had less breakage. Thank you for this content.
"As always," thanks for sharing. Can't wait for the conclusion.
This Channel is so educational. Thank you so much for all the input!
Thank you so much for your videos; so informative and the delivery is brilliant! I am now confident that I have mostly low porosity hair - it was the mention of coconut oil that clarified things for me! Many thanks again ❤️
Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Clear to understand.
Why couldn't I have found you sooner..ugh It makes so much sense to hear you explain it, I went from no poo to co wash, I went from dying my hair to Henna..nothing helped, I just ordered this yesterday and excited..I have thinning hair but at one point, I had a full head of hair. I am not sure if its because I hit 51 and I can sense things changing with my hair... Praying this will stop the shedding and heal the breakage.
Love, love, love your work! So knowledgeable and classy! 🔬💕
Thank you soooo much for this video!! My twists started to feel hard and stiff after I applied my leave in conditioner and oil. I was wondering why because I've been using the same products for years and never had that problem until now.I knew it wasn't a protein overload because I don't really do protein treatments. My leave - in has hydrolyzed protein and that's all I need. I shampoo my hair every week but I guess I wasn't doing a proper job. Washing thick 4c Hair is work
Thank you for your research about coconut oil. There's no way I'm giving that up. lol!
great video, and I saw the videos about the coconut oil sensitivity but I didn't believe it. through my cosmetology class I learned that conditioner should be applied at least 1 inch from the scalp. when I started doing this all the itching stopped. so build was really the issue. very informative.
This video honestly deserves a million views and likes 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I love you! Thank you for your research and knowledge that you share w us! I' ve recently found out that I'm a low porosity girl, and that my efforts in taking care of my hair were nule because I wasn't helping my curls to take in the products I was using (and was starting to believe that I shouldn't use coconut oil) You're helping me so much in my journey to healthy curls! Lots of love
I love your breakdowns always simple but very informative! I am actually very allergic & have food sensitivity to all tree nuts & dairy products which makes it hard for me because coconut, almond, & shea butter are staple products in practically ALL natural hair products. So I always have to be careful because it's a regular occurrence where I wake up the next day with half of my face swollen or looking like straight out of the scene from the movie Hitch. Very frustrating & defeating sometimes. If possible can you do a video on products you can use if you have nut sensitivity? It would help me immensely! ♡♡♡ Thanks!
Very informative video! I really appreciate the detail, defiantly feeling inspired to learn more about my hair seeing as to my hair is totally different from what you experience. I still learned though because of your detailed information!
Thanks for the vid. Steam conditioning treatments should be helpful to those with low porosity hair. I love 'em!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh. I think I luv u. Soooo many questions answered, misconceptions dealt with... especially with the "coconut sensitivity" thing, which did NOT make sense to me (that coconut oil could be a problem of 'sensitivity' for a person's hair)! I'm bone watching. I need to correct some wrong ideas and put all the information in the right context. Thanks so much.
I simply love this channel 😍😍😍. Thanks for the informational videos!
Excellent video! I have learned so much. Thank you!
Great video, it's so beautiful made and youre voice is so calming and fun to listen to. Very educational thanks💕 greets from Amsterdam the Netherlands xxx
Thank you soo much for the coconut oil tip. I'll surely try it
That coconut oil bit is so true. The oil solidifies on my strands making it feel hard, stiff.
I absolutely love your videos. I learn so much about how to properly care for my strands.
New suscriber here🙋🏽♀️👍🏾. You are just the one I was looking for. I needed a guide to know my hair.
I'll be watching your vídeos.
Blessings😘😘
Thank you so much for the great information. This explains a whole lot. The crown of my head takes forever to dry.
OMG I needed this 5 years ago! Great information!
I love you right now. Your so pretty, your hair is pretty, your voice is pretty (and relaxing?!) and you're smart as hell. Your videos are so informative I'm subscribing!!
Subscribed!! my hair is definitely low porosity and this helps so much. Thanks
Thank you for explaining to me about Low Porosity hair.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful update
Loving this vid! Specially The part when you explain the Truth about coconut oil! Greetings from Puerto Rico
I've seen several videos and they are all on point Thank-you!
Thank you green beauty!!! You're drop dead gorgeous with smarts. Love ya!
I'm glad you mentioned the misconceptions about coconut oil because honestly? It really works for me haha.
Great video!!! Very informative (as usual) and thank you for your myth busting abilities 😊👌🏾
This is certainly helping me with my daughters hair. Mine is high porosity and hers is low with so much product build up.
Girl! This has got to be the most informative videos I've seen in a LONG time. The animations were very helpful! I've been tweaking my regimen for about 8 years now, since I have pretty much all types, patterns, and textures in one head of hair, but I'm glad to see you've covered some critical findings I've discovered with my own journey! I wish I would have found you back then! But I'm very thankful you've put this info out in such a beautiful and professional way. Gorgeous video!I'm proud! 🍫🍫🍫
Thank You ☺
Would you please give me your tips on what kind of hooded dryer to look for? I’ve low porosity hair. I’m falling in love with your videos! Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness. Patience is.is a virtue!! I have been doing g my best to wait patiently for you to put a video out on low porosity hair. I believe I am 4 years into my Hai journey and I still do jot understand what my hair needs and wants it is getting too much for me. I need to write you a separate letter to explain all this. However after not understanding how knowing my hair type ABC 123.... stuff I saw your video on porosity and said "Now this makes sense something I can understand as a nurse and loving human biology!" 😄 However my hair continues to elude me and I want to throw in the towel on natural hair. All I did before was press and curl my hair so I just had to get away from heat. And my curl pattern and porosity are too much to deal with I need a break and will watch your videos again on how to prepare my hair and myself for braids.
