    I did an online test and got low, however based on your video, I'm a definite high. My hair does not hold styles for long no matter what products I use, once the humidity hits me, here comes the frizz. Thank you so much!

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  7 лет назад +9

      Hey Clyo! Yep that sounds like high porosity! Our hair looses definition & starts to matt just like that. Thank you so much for watching

    Now I know why my hair behaves the way it does. Everything you said about high porosity is me. It was always frustrating to do some of the natural hairstyles I see from other ladies on youtube and not have mine looking miraculous for an entire week. I'm going to have to subscribe to your channel.

  • @ClearAbyss
    @ClearAbyss 7 лет назад +6

    I'm glad I found your channel. I used to think I had low porosity hair that wouldn't accept moisture. So when I started using low porosity techniques (eliminating heavy creams and oils, conditioning with heat) my hair never improved and sometimes got even drier. Finally I got fed up and decided to do the complete opposite: heavy cream, oil rinses, apple cider vinegar, anything to close the cuticles down and patch up the gaps. I was desperate, but I didn't think it would work. Boy was I wrong. I used techniques you and other hi po naturals recommended and OMG my hair got soooo soft! For the first time my hair was moisturized for 2-3 days without needing to be refreshed! Normally it's bone dry the same day I finish my wash and go. Twist outs would just look like frizz balls with random limp waves. Not anymore! My curl definition has been great, even in the cold winter weather!
    Everything you said in this video about high porosity is me 100%. I don't know why I didn't see it earlier. I think it's because I read on some forum a year or so ago that most naturals have low porosity hair. Silly me, being new to trying to style my hair just believed it without considering anything else. I've been without a relaxer for almost 6 years, but I've never tried to style it myself until the last 5 months.
    Anyway, sorry for the long comment lol. Your videos have helped me a ton.

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  7 лет назад +1

      Aww your comment made me so happy! I know how you feel. I used to do the same thing, following what everyone else does. Then when I learned about porosity I realized how big of a role it plays in hair care for me. Some things I would never try now because I know it just won't work for me. I'm so glad my videos can help you! It's definitely my goal to make hair care for high porosity hair easier because I know there isn't a lot of information out there. So we're on this journey together! lol

    My hair is a combination of normal/medium porosity and low porosity. I'm mostly low porosity along the front of my hair. Great video as always!

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  7 лет назад +2

      Omg all 3?! GIRL lol ; Your hair looks amazing in your profile picture though, so i'm sure you know how to tend to all 3 levels. Thank you so much Elle!

    • @Elle.Webb11
      @Elle.Webb11 7 лет назад +1

      ***** oh, no! Lol! I have 2 porosities. I was just calling medium porosity an "aka" for normal porosity. I have that from the middle of my head to the nape. and then from just in front of the middle to my hairline, I have low porosity. Thank you for the compliment! I manage the majority of my hair pretty well but still trying to figure out how to moisturize my low porosity section without creating build up..which happens pretty easily and I hate it because it's in the front and can't hide the build up when it happens. Any suggestions?

Seven years ago when I decided to go natural there was nothing on the market to use on my hair. I found a good barber and wore it very low. I am letting my hair grow now and thanks to you I'm giving my hair what it needs.

  • @risxu
    @risxu 6 лет назад +2

    I'm super confused when it comes to my hair porosity. I share a lot of characteristics from low and high porosity hair. For example, my hair gets soaked with water in no time and it dries in like and hour and then I put product in my hair. I don't necessarily need to re apply throughout the week, instead, the product seems to sit on top of my hair and because of that I have a lot of build up in my scalp. Humidity doesn't affect it but it's really hard to dentagle. And I could go on and on with the list. I don't know what to think anymore, lol.

  • @sandrataylor866

    Hello, I did the float test and thought I had low porosity hair. I kept noticing different textures, curl and thickness in certain areas of my hair. I decided to test again, and the hair went straight to the bottom of the cup. Your video explains porosity more accurately . By using characteristics, I am better able to determine what hair type I have by how it behaves. My hair is dry soon after conditioning and moisturizing, the hairs wrap around themselves, and rain and humidity cause my hair to swell. I have high porosity hair and have been treating it like low porosity since I recently began my new hair care regimen.

    this is so helpful b/c I was using the same method I use on myself for my daughter and wondering why the products just sit on her hair. She has low porosity. I was starting to feel guilty for always having to shampoo her hair but now I don't. Thanks

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  7 лет назад +1

      I'm so glad this helped!!! I know some people with low porosity hair like to co-wash, but i would say most ppl with low porosity hair that i watch recommend shampooing to remove the buildup & help with product penetration.

  • @andreasarchie90
    @andreasarchie90 7 лет назад +4

    If a person with low porosity hair goes outside and gets rained on then they have to walk around with damp hair longer or can't really do wash and goes without applying a little heat before they leave the house because their hair does not dry right away. I go in between both high and low depending upon the season honestly.

    I thought I was high porosity but my hair just floated at the top of the water for about 10 minutes. I didn't understand that floating at the top met low porosity. I guess that's why my hair doesn't freeze up in Texas or Florida's humidity and I also get product build up as you said. I now wash my hair every week.I just purchased a steamer and I am going to start using it.

    Very informative! I have high porosity hair but I also experience the product build up on my hair a couple of days after I wash. My hair stays wet for a couple of days. I don't use heat on my hair NEVER but i keep my hair in a bun and i take it down 2-3days later and yep still wet in the bun. But thanks again for this... I have true high porosity hair.

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  7 лет назад

      Yes! I do too, and I believe that's because the creams I use on my hair are always super heavy. Plus, having fine strands I get build up fast. Hmm..about the drying time high porosity hair usually dries fast compared to low porosity. I know that with low porosity it can take days ; You're welcome!! You could have a combo of both porosity levels. Maybe certain sections are less porous, so they take longer to dry.

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  7 лет назад

      👏🏾👏🏾 I completely agree. The same thing happened to me on the CG method. My hair took forever to dry. Then once I started using atleast 1 silicone product in my regimen it takes less time.

    I have high porosity hair and I’ve been on this Journey for three years and I’m strongly Convinced there’s a such thing as healthy high porosity hair, my hair sinks to the bottom of the water all the time and my hair gets tangled very easily. At the very start of my journey I got so into definition I kept finger Coiling My hair and soon had dread locks. One day I decided to de-dread my hair, lost so much of my hair but it was like a restart on my Journey. That was two years ago. Since then I’ve learned about deep conditioning. And I do that every week or two weeks. Shampoo twice a month with co-washes between. Been doing this for two years and I’m hair is healthy my twist outs will last me for days or even weeks, my hair holds moisture for days. My hair never loses curls now. Yet it’s still gets easily tangled and matted if not stretched and I don’t use heat I band my hair at night and sleep with satin cap so my hair doesn’t tangle it’s still rough but healthy. You can keep definition and and moisture for days on end. You just got to find a method and products that work for you. I truly believe my hair is still high porosity, I’ve just learned how combat the cons unless I have med porosity now *tho I doubt it*

    High Porosity my hair loves water, protein treatments, Shea butter and oils. Hot oil treatment not needed. I can shampoo my hair every week or every other week. Prefers silk over Satin scarfs.

    I have a question. I feel as though my hair is combo. My hair does react to the weather and is super dry. However, i do feel like products build up easily. I did the water porosity test. Some hair stayed afloat while others went to the middle of the glass. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  6 лет назад +1

      Hey Sarah! Your hair could definitely be a combination of both. Hair isn't perfect so it's possible lol. I say just pay attention to the different areas of your hair. You might feel like one side/area reacts differently than the rest. I know for me the inner sections of my hair get drier before the rest. I assume those areas are just more porous than the rest of my hair.

    @1FrolishousBaby 7 лет назад +1

    I think I was high porosity when I first started embracing my natural hair in Nov because I damaged it with highlights and it couldn't hold moisture. Then I had a friend tell me I was low according to the float test and how I can get protein overload easy since stylers with protein get trapped until my next wash and dry my hair. I'm pretty sure from your video, I'm low or in the middle a little.

    • @AfroKhadisiac
      @AfroKhadisiac  7 лет назад

      Hey! It's also possible to have different porosity levels throughout your hair just like how we can have multiple hair textures throughout our hair. High porosity hair is generally very fragile, tangles a lot & dries very fast compared to low porosity. xoxo

    I thought I had high porosity at first, but after listening to you it sounds like I might have low porosity especially since it takes forever for my hair to get wet when I wash it. I actually have to prewar her my hair before washing it if that makes sense 😂😂😂 I'll wash it with a cowash before actually using regular shampoo. Dang now I know.

    I thoroughly reviewed the information provided by Green Beauty channel regarding porosity. My 4C fine fragile curly strands had all the characteristics of the high porosity...but when I did the water test my hair floats each time..I've tried it a couple of times. Sweating, humidity, of course water will shrink my hair in seconds and tangles.. I'm confused and don't know what my porosity is...just want it to grow some length can't seem to get it.
