    I learned that protein treatments are very helpful for me as a high porosity girl. This summer I came across a leave in or rinse out protein conditioning treatment. All summer, I used it pretty much as a leave in every few days for my wash n go. It was so good to me because it gave me a curl style that I enjoy without the crunch/dryness of a gel and the added benefit of building up my hair. I used it because I learned through your channel that maybe I was drying my hair out using clarifying shampoos. You suggested sulfate free shampooing instead so I switched to that and I also wanted something to counteract the damage I was doing with clarifying shampoo. After using the protein treatment consistently over four months I notice now that my hair is no longer dull, light reflects off my hair (I say this because I literally forgot what shiny hair is supposed to be) and the feeling of my hair is less dry and brittle (it has substance). Now since it is fall I’m more so focused on moisturizing with creams and oils and using the protein treatment just as a rinse out conditioner instead (I just don’t want to have wet hair since the weather is unpredictably cold some times). But so far this is what helps me.

    L- Chebe spritz mixed with MSM
    C- Qhemet Biologics Amla & Olive Heavy Cream
    B- I don’t use oils or grease, butter is best for me. I seal my ends with Qhemet Biologics Aethiopika hydrate & twist butter.
    I was my hair every 2 weeks in twists. I refresh the twists once a month. Dust (not trim) the ends to my twists about every 6 ish weeks or when they look straggly.
    Shampoo: TGIN moisture rich, or Green Beauty’s (check out her YT channel) Clay mask recipe.
    Deep condition/protein treatment: I mix my Green Beauty liquid protein treatment with my TGIN honey hair mask. 30 min of plastic cap under winter hat, no added heat! It will lift my hair cuticles too much.
    I even lowered my hair porosity and my hair retains more moisture than it used to.

    As a teen with high porosity 4b/c hair, I have been using Liquid (water), Cream (creme of nature leave in) and grease (blue magic castor oil) or just a very thick oil like castor oil on my hair for years now, and it's the only way my hair stays moisturized all week even after stretching it.
    Monthly protein treatments have been a must for me as well. I make sure to detangle beforehand with a conditioner first, rinse it out & wash my hair in twists, then apply a protein treatment (the originals hair Mayonaise) so I can just comb the protein treatment into each section quickly and not leave it for too long. Not doing this in the past, and just detangling with the protein treatment has led me to leave it on for way too long in some sections since I have very dense hair.
    Detangling with conditioner-> braid/twist hair -> washing my hair -> applying protein treatment in each section & being able to comb it through quickly
    has had my hair feeling unreal and I have retained a lot of length especially over the last few months

    I alternate between LCO and LCB, but my fine low-density hair cannot handle heavy oils and grease, so I stick to butters. The game-changer for me is keeping my hair in twists 99% of the time to retain moisture for longer. I also do protein treatments monthly, and moisturize with aloe vera juice + grapeseed/ avocado oil between wash days.

    My high porosity hair air dries within 30 minutes. I was shocked when you said 2-5 HOURS.
    What works for me is Liquid and oil. Liquid, Leave in, Oil. Or Liquid, Oil Leave-in. My leave in is made using lighter oils, distilled water essential rose oil and essential peppermint oil blends and aloe but I seal with pomade. My hair is super soft afterwards which is saying something because I have micro locs. I don’t know if this is typical of high porosity hair but my scalp is sensitive. No cream on the hair because that makes its way onto my scalp and I wind up washing everything out that I just put in or scooping it up and onto my hair and taking an antihistamine!

Once it dries which is only a few hours I follow up with my shea butter mix (shea, Dax grease which is an all natural hair grease and my oil mix) this keep my hair moisturized for about 3-5 days. If I do need to moisturize I have a fenugreek and rose water spray I use. But I am about to try banana peels soaked in water next

    So I am relaxed with waist length hair and I use a mousse leave in from Joico Kpak line, then cream from either Aunt Jessie or As I am So much moisture and then a combination of jojoba, pumpkin seed and almond oil on my ends. I wash with moisturizing and protein Joico and Mizani products and do a light protein once a month and a protein treatment every 8 weeks. I relax twice a year, do a protein before and do an Olaplex treatment after for two washes and a protein treatment immediately after. I do not need to add moisture to my hair outside of bi-weekly washes but I add a little oil to the very ends a couple times a week if I wear my hair down.

    I am in the middle of having high porosity hair and normal porosity. I never know which one I should choose. When I look at my hair strand under a microscope, the outer layer looks smooth. When I do the hair strand in the glass of water, it floats midway in the glass of water. My hair absorbs water quick and drys quickly on the top of my head, and the bottom hair dries normally. It's crazy to me. I can moisturize my hair, and it will last 5 to 7 days without needing to reapply more moisture to it.
