    THANK YOU for debunking that myth about silicones and hair grease blocking moisture from coming into the hair!!! I love hair grease, but I would always use it sparingly because I thought that I wouldn't be able to refresh and moisturize my hair until my next wash day. I thought water and other products would just sit on top of my hair. I wash bi-weekly, so that's a stretch for me. Great video!

    Oh my goodness!! I can't believe I found your channel. I've been natural about 9 years now and have been complaining that I feel like I need to be a chemist to maintain healthy hair now for myself and my daughter. It has been so frustrating! So many setbacks. I never had this much trouble with my hair when I was permed. Our hair is so fickle and it seems our porosity, grade and curl patterns change constantly. I was actually considering going back to the creamy crack for a little peace. I would love to speak with you directly because I've wasted millions of hours on our hair, and products, and making my own natural ayurvedic combinations. A few years ago My daughter had 20 inches of healthy hair when the first fiasco occurred. Her hair broke off down to the new growth 2inches at the center back of her head and was scraggly all over with more breakage. I also suffered lots of breakage but simply cut mine into a shorter fro. But she was in 7th grade so it was devastating for us both. Luckily I'm a great braider and have "growing hands" so I have never had a problem growing hair. So I explained to my daughter that her hair does not define her while helping her appreciate new and fun styles. I maintained protective styles and grew her hair out while tearfully cutting the 16 - 20 inches of undamaged hair for 3 years as we brought her back to a nice blunt length just beyond her shoulders. Thankfully since I taught her to embrace her natural hair she also loves wearing it curly.. now that we have her iron levels under control, and decent length for both of us (mine is bra strap length) I am worried it will happen again. I have some tried and true formulas I use but would love to consult with you about our ever changing and multi type hair. perhaps we can come up with a line for repairing and growing hair together.

      My high porosity hair loves aloe Vera , coconut oil, slipper elm, marshmallow root, hydrolyzed protein, silk amino acids/protein a multitude of butters and silicones. This hair requires layers of products ie LI, hair milk/curling cream , a sealing butter or oil then a good strong hold gel for longevity. Also I follow every DC with an aloe Vera + water spritz to close the cuticle. Sounds like a lot but in doing so I never suffer from the dry hair that high porosity is noted to have. BTW Smooth Naturals products are the GOAT for high porosity curls/coils! ❤️ your channel!!!!

      Curl chemistry has a previous video on hair porosity, it's where I really got to a real overstanding of what high and low porosity really meant...it was a while ago , look through and you'll find it😁 high porosity needs more smoothing as the cuticles are very raised and using a sealing butter or oil to finish inhibits the hair from poofing up(and feeling rough) so the moisture stays inside the hair shaft for longer...hope this helps until you find the video 😊

      @@joiwilliams5830 do you know the calcium deposits/limescale build up on your kettles, taps, faucets, shower heads, sinks, plughole and bathtubs? Yeah that stuff builds up slowly in your hair damaging it and blocking moisture and conditioner penetration. Also chlorine, copper and iron, what ever is in your tap water. Bottled and mineral water has it too. Sea water has a high salt content and swimming pools have a high chlorine content. The only water that doesn't have these minerals and metals is filtered water and distilled water. So all of those chemicals, minerals and metals build up on the hair strand and can ruin it. Pollution doesn't help either. So a chelating shampoo will remove all of those minerals, metals and chemicals whereas a clarifying shampoo main removes mainly product build up. Only use a chelating shampoo once every 4-6 weeks. Any more than that and it will dry out your hair.

    Hi Curly Chemist, can you do a dedicated video on glycerin to talk about facts vs myths AND the different types of glycerin? My hair LOVES vegetable glycerin and water mixed into a spray bottle for misting BUT I stopped doing that when I started hearing other RUclipsrs say that depending on the environment that it can cause moisture to be pulled FROM my hair. That scared me into not using it.
    Also, can you do a video on how hair dyes affect porosity? I just started dying my hair dark brown and it seems to have gotten soooo dry and the products no longer absorb! Why??? It's not being bleached. Is it the ammonia? I told my hairstylist I no longer want that in my hair!

      Exactly I can't use coconut oil nor castor oil. I have low porosity hair so I can't use those heavy oils. My fav oils are grapeseed, argan, avocado and sweet almond. The grapeseed helps so much with breakage. My hai has fallen out from using products with coconut in it smh now I trying to get it back right. Avocado mask works wonders too!! I learned to feed my hair real food and water lol I need yo incorporate massage into my scalp care too

    Thanks for clarifying that "hair grease" and silicone-based products may not be the best first choices for "natural" hair but are not BAD. I have never believed them to be entirely bad/wrong for natural hair because (1) unless used in excess per application they seem to protect the hair, (2) during the years prior to 2010-2015, commercially sold "hair grease" is what people had access to and their hair was still often healthy, (3) not every "natural" ingredient is good for every person's hair. Thanks for tackling the topic.

      Well know you understand the effects of a humectant on hair when the dew point is low.... the high concentration of water is being sucked out of the hair into the atmosphere leaving it in my opinion worse than dry ( hard, tangly basically angry 😡). Glycerine is a strong humectant so when the dew point is high ( weather is humid

    • @MzV2C
      @MzV2C 4 года назад

      In humid weather the glycerine will pull water into the hair making it feel sticky and/or poofy losing its shape basically turning your curly wash and go to a fro. Low porosity hair loves glycerine in products left on the hair to bring the moisture into the closed cuticle. High porosity hair poorly tolerated glycerine or other highly humectants ( beet sugar, honey) in leave in products because it brings to much water into the open cuticle. Naturally Curky has an app that will give you the dew points and show you the effect on your specific hair type based upon your specific location. I swear by it and definitely use it when traveling to determine what hair products to use or not based upon the style I want to maintain. It also makes product suggestions and yes refers you to the website for purchase.

    Excellent information, especially about Lauric Acid, it prompted me to look at a soap quality spreadsheet I have which details the properties of oils when it comes to soap making. So just like I thought, most of the oils high in Lauric Acid seem to be "cleansing oils". Examples of some cleansing oils are highlighted below and they're all high in Lauric Acid.
    I initially searched this info to find coconut oil alternatives for people who were allergic. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
    I recently started using sodium lactate in soap making and learned that some use it as a glycerin alternative. Anyone ever tried it in their hair?

    I can co-sign on the coconut oil. For months my hair has been thinning and breaking a lot and just being dusty overall. I acknowledge that I’ve been skimping on the hair care and it’s showed. I realized that main thing I let go was unrefined virgin coconut oil. So I started rubbing it into my scalp and then rubbing it down my strands and in less than a month I see my hair coming back to life. Lots of new growth and it’s growing in full and strong. Plus it’s a very light so not that much buildup in between washes.
