Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair. Хобби
Now I know why my hair breaks easily, dries easily and tangles easily. 😩
Same.
same here I been trying to find methods that work great for my hair. Has anyone tried the aloe vera leaf on high porosity hair. If so any ideas on how to use it.
Charlisa Duncan I use it and I love it. You can make an aloe Vera gel out of the leaf and use it as a pre poo or in a diy curling creme. You can also use Aloe Juice as part of a leave in and/or detangler. It’s extremely versatile especially for the cost. I’m high porosity and I’m contemplating buying an aloe plant it’s just that serious
How do you use it
Yep me too
It’s hard to find people with high porosity hair and get advice on it. Thanks for the video! Preciate it.😊
OH my God!!! I've been doing it wrong for years! I did the hair float on the water test and it never sank. I though I was low porosity,, but when you describe the tangles, the thin hair, the easy to break, the water gone after washing, its all me! this video even explain why I can't grow my hair after 6 years and numerous setbacks it still neck length....thank you green beauty
naturallyme girl yes! I thought I was low porosity too! That water test had me all messed up.
I definitely thought after the water test I was low porosity as well and went and got the shea moisture low porosity line which didn't help 🙄 and after watching this I learned I'm high porosity
naturallyme same here sis. Exact same story! Did the test and thought I was low po , meanwhile I LOC and wake up with oily dry hair! So frustrating but I understand now thanks to green beauty and my own trial and error.
Chebe is your friend.
Same! 9 years thinking I’m low porosity struggling with dry, brittle hair just to discover I’m actually high porosity… knowledge is power!
Saw that microscope in the background and knew she was dead serious. You know she has hair strands on slides back there ready to go.
She's truly dead serious.
LOL!
🤣🤣🤣 For real lol
😂 I said the same thing!!
😂😂😂😂
I’m neither high, low or medium. I just wanna through my whole head away 😫.
I feel you
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m finished
I literally feel the same.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it can be ALL OVER THE PLACE and it's like..ok. How do i help myself then? 😭
Me too 😩😩
Hey GB a quick tip alot of us watch youtube videos on our phones in which annotations does not work so if you could list the videos you reference in your description box that would be very helpful. This way it keep us on your channel watching video after video. Just throwing this out there. Hope it helps.
NappyFu TV thanks 😊
Green Beauty Channel ™ you're welcome.
NappyFu TV Aye! Nappyfu all up on my screen 🤗🤗
Austin Peewwaarss Ayeeeeeee 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just saw that annotations won't be available anymore
Great video as always. After understanding porosity, I was able to manage my daughter's dry hair better. We focus more on porosity rather than on hair typing.
DiscoveringNatural yes Porosity gives you more information then that 4a,b,c system
Came back to tell you that the porosity series has reeeeeeeeeally helped my hair. I now retain moisture and have shine because, thanks to this series, I know what works for my hair.
Keep up the great work!
I don't know why my skin crawled seeing the hair strands
Lol same here
omg same idk what it was but yikes
It’s called trypophobia
Omg!! Me too I had to look away from it
Cheers, Tichophobia-a fear of hair, especially seeing or touching fallen hair on clothes, floors, walls etc. I struggle with this phobia. Trypophobia is a fear of holes.
I have high porosity hair too so these past few years have been some serious trial and error. But once I started using your protein treatment ohmygod my hair is alive! It's so moisturized. Your product was a serious game changer for me.
I've been watching your videos ever since I was 15 years old and I'm now 19 and because of you my hair grew so Much...I would like to share sum pics with you
SO HELPFUL!!! My hair has always been high porosity and fits into evry one of those HP parameters. It's hard to find info on HP hair that helps you actually build a routine. These tips you provided were excellent and affirmed what I've been doing, with some needed reminders as well. My hair is finally thriving (at 6 years natural) after a consistent moisture regimen, quarterly protein treatments, scalp massages, always sealing, DC'ing for LESS time, no blow drying, and keeping it stretched. Great job! Thank you so much :-)
Well said !!!!
@@GreenBeauty plz! Help to figure out which typr of my hair ....my hair is too damaged,dry and breakage .....its thinning day by day😩🥺
I'm a geek by nature. I absolutely LOVE your channel and always look forward to your videos! Keep up the GREAT work! :)
Thank you #GeeksUnite
+Green Beauty Channel ™ Lmbo! For sure. :)
GreenBeauty can you make a video about the MSM to grow hair ??
What I like most of you and your videos is the way you explain everything, and graphically. The knowlege about the origin and the science of the things is so important too, more in this world where the industries bring us a lot of products with a lot of chemicals that we don't know if really work for our curly hair. Thank you very much. Greetings from Venezuela and excuses for my English!!
By the way, could you talk about silicones, when use them or when not?
Thank you 🙂
I talk about silicones in these videos on Product Build-up. I hope they are helpful :-)

Hi from another venezuelan! Jaja
You're such a professional!
My hair is coarse, dense, high porosity and my mother's hair is fine, dense, color treated low porosity so I've had to learn to care for both. My hair loves aloe vera juice and gel, I use it in my final rinse hair tea blend and as the L in my midweek LOC routine. I don't like heavy greasy residue in my hair, even though it is very absorbent and sucks down product so I apply products with a very light hand, building up the layers until I reach optimal coverage. I wash my hair every week to 10 days to insure a thorough moisture infusion regularly and I DC with every wash. I wear twists most of the time because they help my hair retain moisture longer, I can re-moisturize without restyling and style transitions are very simple.
Did the test and thought I was low po , meanwhile I LOC and wake up with oily dry hair! So frustrating but I understand now thanks to green beauty and my own trial and error.
Omg 😲 this whole time I've been thinking I'm low porosity. This video has been of great help to me. Thank you so very much!!!!
Wow I learned so much for you. I found difficulty in determining my hair for a while now, but I can say for certain that I am in between the medium and high porosity spectrum. Thank you!
This is the most useful video I’ve watched (out of what seems like thousands) regarding how to properly care for my hair. Thank you for you time and expertise!
Impressive. There are NO videos on Utube like this one, a pleasure to watch. This video is informative, professional & educational with no unnecessary fillers. You are a trail blazer. Thank you. Of course I subscribed!!!!
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. You have actually helped me learn about the porosity of my hair. It's been so confusing, but you make it so much easier to understand and remedy. Thank you so much!!!
your channel gives me life i went natural 3yrs ago an my hair is at a stand still i have a green thumb when it comes to other peoples hair but my own an ive been learning a lot from your channel that helps my clients now its turn
This was more useful than years of watching natural hair videos and blogs. Thank you so much, you are the best
Your description between 3-4 minutes in is the exact description of what my hair does. I realized last year that my strands needed some kind of coating to keep them from tangling so tightly. But, I did not think of a connection to high porosity. I learned something today.
Great video, it helps me so much!! For many years I thought I had low porosity and now I know I was wrong. Now I understand how to retain length
I have just come across your RUclips channel and I am HOOKED! Now, I've figured out why I have had a major love-hate relationship with my natural hair. Your educational approach has helped me choose my products and care for my high porosity hair in a much more effective way! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you for making this ! I’m so surprised at how little videos there are on high porosity so thank you !
This woman is fabulously intelligent. Super informative and scientific with great detail. I have put so many curlfriends on this great channel!
Your channel helped me grow my natural hair from hydrolyzed protein treatment segment a few years back. I also love the science behind aloe vera juice. Thank you.
Thanks to you, I now know the porosity of my hair. Good job.
I did not need a test to know my hair was high porosity- I just needed to learn the terminology. Thank you for information to aid in hair care for us sponges... I have learned ALOT thru experience and even more from you on the science= which together has given me a better 'common' sense on my 4c thick porous hair and what it likes season to season.
Can't wait for the Low Porosity video! You have the best informed videos, keep up the wonderful work. Education is power!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! I finally understand what’s going on with my hair, it all makes sense now.
This was so timely and definitely needed. I'm working with 3 different heads of hair in my house. Sounds like I'm on the right track for the one that's hi porosity. I have seen major improvement in the hair as well. Still working on sealing in moisture. The acidic spritz appears to make the biggest difference as well as choosing a very gentle shampoo bar for cleansing. Thanks so much!
This video was extremely helpful in helping me identify my hair porosity. This whole time I have had this backwards thinking my hair was low porosity. The upside is that my regimen is actually a high porosity regimen although I thought its was a low porosity regimen! Thanks for the info!
I have high porosity hair, thank you so much for sharing this useful information. Will be making some slight adjustments to my regimen
GB sometimes I wonder- how did you become so knowledgeable? Seriously- you’re fantastic. Thanks for sharing
You are, by far, one o my favourite hair bloggers. I love the way you explain and educate. I am getting there with my hair 😊 Many thanks 😊
i've never heard that high porosity hair is easier to stretch, but it makes so much sense when u think about it. i've always wondered why my hair is so much easier to stretch/lay than ppl with similar curl pattern, density, and thickness but now i know it's because my hair is high porosity! i've been taking care of my real texture for 5+ years and i'm still hearing new stuff from you, never stop making videos 💞
Thank you Sis *GreenBeauty* for this Valuable Information!!!! I had a hair stylist that had perming my hair since the 1980's never had any problems with her until 2017. She applied the perm not only on my new growth but also on my old permed hair!! Then 2018 my bad judgement call I went back to her for just the touch up and she did it again..put the perm on my new growth and old hair...causing breakage and shedding at a all time high!!! SMH! I have now High Porosity Hair! I will not EVER allow her to put hair hands back in my hair again!! I am transitioning into Natural Hair now. I haven't had any perm in my hair since June 2018. This is was a Great Wake up call for me to leave the chemicals alone and take care and continue to grow my own hair as I have been minus the chemical perm touch up! Thank you again Sis!!! :-)
This is the nest natural hair channel I've come across! So informative! All of my questions have been answered! Wow! Def subbing!
Such informative videos, yes I just subscribed. THANK YOU!! U made it so clear I FINALLY understand! I was able to identify using the characteristics you listed.
Love the detail and how you concisely explain this topic🙌🏽
I thought my hair was low porosity. Just found out it’s actually high porosity 😩😭
It's so overtly complex unnecessarily lol
Good video! I had to figure all of this info out on my own using trial and error and common sense. Glad you put it in a video!
Ur videos have really helped my hair maintenance a lot.. and my hair is actually growing and having length..God bless
I have watched PLENTY videos on high porosity hair and nothing came close to being as informative as this video! Well done!
this channel is absolutely fabulous and designed GORGEOUS. GREAT ENERGY AND INFORMATION,IS A BLESSING. THANK YOU, GREENBEAUTY!
Great video but I'm definitely not high porosity. I used to think it's bad but I'm loving my hair so much now. You help people like me understand their hair better. 😊
my crown area has high porosity characteristics while the rest of my hair has low porosity characteristics. never would have thought that until this video. thanks.
Wow!!!! I always learn soooooo much from your vids. My hair is definitely high porosity hair. And I was wondering why my hair was drying out every other day. One...I haven't done a protein treatment in a months and second I've never done an ACV rinse....my hair is very coily, it's grown a lot but I didn't really understand why knowing your porosity mattered. You've made it so clear and easy to understand. thanks for helping us. 😍 blessings ❤❤😇
I love how informative you are and how easily you break things down using visuals!
Thank You 🙂
I enjoyed watching your video. Now I know my hair is high Porosity. My hair always gets tangle aftre washed. It's dry very quickly and it is also very fine. I take very good care of my hair to provement breakages. My hair has grown a lot since I have been taking good care of my hair, since locked down. Thank you so much for your help and advice.
Love your videos! They are so informative, well scripted and illustrated clearly.
I wish I had found your videos when I first started my transition.
Keep up the great work! You have a new subbie!
I'm trying to learn what my hair is. And never knew porosity thing existed. Thank you!
Thanks you so much! I never understood why I couldn't retain length,and why my hair is always tangled and breaking off. 😊
I don’t know how I stumbled on your station, but let me say I love it. Your videos are so detailed and informative. I love the visuals and everything. New subbie 😊
Hey just wanted to say all of your videos have really helped me to understand the reasons why my hair behaves a certain way and how to remedy that. I wanted to chop my hair off, but after taking your advice I realised I didn't need to, I just had high porosity hair that was prone to drying out, and the end becoming rough despite not having split ends. Apple cider vinegar rinses have been my saving grace. You are a life saver! thanks
Dislikes? I don't get how anyone could dislike facts and science. The intellect of her videos are what I have been waiting for!
Thank you for the information, love the way you explain everything!!
No joke...I washed my hair and headed to YT for your LCO/LOC info to see where my hair is now. Thankfully, I found THIS video through a link in one of your others. Unfortunately, my hair is almost bone dry now.😫
LOVE your channel!😘
I love your channel! These videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you for what you do!
Thank much for providing actually hair FACTS
This video is edited really well and easy to follow
I appreciate the illustration’s details also
Keep up the good work
As always, your videos are informative. Nerds rock! Now, on to my dilemma. I have always thought I had low porosity hair, but after watching this video I could be high. Except for the quick drying, my hair tangles, knots and breaks easily. I also have thin strands. I think I will have to rethink how I moisturize my hair. Again.
I successfully grew out my hair while using relaxers. I don't anymore and I know I've suffered some damage. I'm going to watch the other video on low porosity and make a decision. Thank you so much. I'm subscribed.
Thank you for this information. It has been a life changer for me. I have discovered that I must include a cream in my hair care regimen.
omg every time i watch a new video of your channel, it helps me sooo much !
Your videos are very informative. Thanks for all of your research-based advice.
I love your videos... but can I make a tiny suggestion? I have high porosity 4C hair. And I watched the low porosity video and noticed that (because you are low porosity) you basically had 2x as many tips for that hair type. I understand that's because you've lived it! I was kind of hoping that if you end up doing specific videos for other hair types, you could ask your subscribers/fans with that hair type for specific questions of the kind that are addressed in the low porosity video.
So e.g. you address coconut oil and low porosity hair. But I also struggled with coconut oil as a high porosity, because it turns out it doesn't seal enough! Also, I, like a lot of high porosities, have had trouble with butters because they were drying my hair out. I realized that I wasn't layering enough product underneath. Also, glycerin and high porosity hair!
And another example, you recommend water only washing but I just don't think water only washing would work for a high porosity because of the roughness of the cuticle and the potential for tangling. In reality your hair will be long broken off before you ever reach full coverage.
I know I am slightly jealous because I wish there was a science based high porosity blogger who was as good as you are who I could follow!
Love your videos!
I'm so glad I came across your videos and channel. This is THE BEST explanation of high porosity hair I've watched! I love that you back it with science! Thank you for sharing this info. I've had ups and downs with my natural hair journey. I have high porosity hair and this info is really helpful for me in making more informed choices and to fine tune my hair regimen. Thank you. SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks Monica :-)
always informative and helpful. thanks for all you do
Thank you for the information. This explains a lot for me and why my hair does better with butter creams.
So based off this I have 4c, really thick hair. Thank you this helps a lot with my hair nd daughters
The rice water has been so helpful for me. I have high porosity hair and I have never had color. I do rice water rinses bi weekly. I skipped one time and I paid for it. Great video!
awesome information! I always thought I had low porosity hair.
Thank you so much for your video's. I can't wait to see your video on low porosity because right now I don't know what I have but once I see your next video I'm sure I will finally find out. BTW - You have such a calming voice and I could listen to you all day. Thanks Again!!!!!
I hope the next video helps b/c it has a lot of information in it. I have to warn you in advance it going to be kinda long SMH. I tried to make it short but it was close to impossible.
I ordered your hydrolyzed protein last year some time and it really helped my high pro natural hair!!😍 My hair was literally one dry M-e-s-s!👀 I had no regimen...Im still learning as I go but my hair really looks and feels much more healthier.. Even my hubby (who pays attention to nothing😒) comments on how healthy it looks..Lol, lol. I reeeeally wanna say, this Protein jump started my healthier hair care routine. Thx for all you share !Blessings🙏🏽💜
Reall a big thanks, for year I thought I have low porosity hair because of the floating test... Now I understand why my hair broke easily and they were driyer than the sahara. They did not grow and i was frustrated. 3 weeks in my routine for high porosity and they look better. Again thank you so much!!
Thanks for this video, it was what I needed. Just subscribed.
Thank you so much I used to use a hair steamer and leave my deep conditioner overnight...now I know that this is wrong
I really hope this helps my hair I started moistrising my ends and putting warm oil on my scalp(I’m in a protective style)every two days, trust me when I say it was super duper soft! ❤️
I love you you changed the whole game!
Love your vids 😘
New subscriber!
I just now started watching your channel a month ago. I learn so much. I call you the bill nye for hair. thank you
A mix of the aforesaid. My hair has changed a lot over the last 5 years. Confusing, but manageable once understood. Working on it.
You always give such clear, researched advice and your animations are helpful and so cute! I see so much advice for high and low porosity hair. what advice do you have for medium porosity sisters? I would really appreciate your perspective. Thanks!
This was so informative! Absolutely love your vids! Can't wait for the low porosity video. I have know idea what to do what with my hair😫 low porosity is a struggle smh
Thank you for this video! however now I'm not sure if my hair has high or low porosity however I will keep watching for the other videos keep up the good work thanks for the info shared
KeezyP hopefully when I cover low Porosity characteristics hopefully you'll have enough information to know what your Porosity is 😊
I'm so confused because I did the floating test and I thought my hair was low porosity. Then I watched the two videos on porosity and my hair fitted in both categories
Mine too, let’s just mix both routines!
i have learned a lot of this thru trial and error and i find that so cool! your videos are so informative and affirming.
Omg you just described my hair . Thin , easy to break if wet or dry , easily tangles , dries super quick and its super fragile . My hair loves coconut , pumpkin and olive oils , shea butter makes it super straight even though its naturally super kinky . I always keep it in two strand twist because if i dont it becomes a tangled mess which breaks by the handfuls while trying to comb and maintain order .Now i have learned i should try protein and i will . Very insightful info and thanks for keeping us informed !
Yo I love your back ground! Major science fan and graduate of Anatomy& Physiology and Biology!!! 😍😍😍
I really learned a lot and I enjoyed the video and the tips, thanks.👍👌
this is so helpful video. my hair fits all the characteristics you mentioned. I have always figure that I have high porosity in most parts of my hair. using ur real protein twice a month was really helpful. one as a real protein and as a deep conditioner. however I have run out now and need to reorder even though is hard living in London.
Your channel is so awesome thank you and I subbed wish I found these videos sooner, I like to act like I know it all and have everything under control until I face major breakage probably from applying to much tension with my hair ...or maybe using the wrong product or not enough sebum or protein in my diet ...I really got to adapt my routine for what it is for ...I thought my hair porosity was low or medium but it's actually high ...I have some learning to do thank you for teaching and breaking everything down to a science
So well explained - thanks!
I love your videos. Please do a video on Scalp care for us with Seborrheic Dermatitis or Psoriasis. I can't seem to get my scalp right.
Always so informative. Thanx!!!
Thank you, this was great! :) I really appreciate how informative and well put together your videos are, they really help me understand my hair and figure out what's best for it. Have a lovely day. :)
Thank You :-)
Amazing images! Really helped me thank you
Great video, side note: LOVE your makeup!
Thank you, Thank you so much for sharing this helpful video 🖒
