How to care for Low Porosity Hair

Hey Glambassadors! Understanding porosity can be difficult, so in this video I break down porosity, low porosity, and how to care for hair that has low porosity. I have done a full video on porosity, but many people wanted more clarity, so I genuinely hope this helps!

Here are the links to the 3 products I spoke of in the video:

I have never heard someone break it down like that. For YEARS I have been believing my hair was only one porosity and hearing you say that it’s possible to have two is going to help me tremendously. Thank you for taking the time out to show and teach us ways to care for our hair!

I have fine, High Porosity Hair. I have seen where Naturals get very frustrated with products sitting on the hair. Its probably because they are Low Porosity. So many reviews, of products not working correctly, when it could possibly be the structure of the reviewers, hair. Knowledge about properties of the hair is essential. Education is valuable so we dont have 500.00 of product, stashed in the closet, not being used 💚. Many THANKS for making education enjoyable 👍

I can tell you teach, you're so thorough and tons more informative than other videos. And I can understand you too! Lemme give you a hug!

I started caring for my hair from the porosity (mine is low) point of view instead of hair type and boy did it make a difference. Products in the store are okay but I have gotten pretty good at creating my own magic. I do a great deal of research. Liquid vs. cream is amazing advice. Thank you for this. Forever teaching and we appreciate it.

I’m low porosity. My hair doesn’t like gels generally no eco styler etc. steaming my hair with deep conditioner did help tremendously in getting moisture in. I saw significant growth because my hair health improved.

[Longhairprettynails]

Great tips Linwood. This is my hair all the way. I definitely need one of those steamers.

Hey Linwood this video was just what I needed. I’ve always had dry hair, skin etc and now at 66 yrs young and 99% gray I’ve noticed that my natural hair is really DRY now. So this info is very helpful to me...thanks.

Omg, I love you 💕💕. I have very low porosity hair and I'm tender headed, so I've been struggling to care for my hair 🙃🙃😭😭😫. My aunt told me that my porosity was "terrible", so I thought something was wrong with my hair, and it was unhealthy (she's a beautician). Now I understand why the creams weren't actually being absorbed into my hair.

😍😍 OMGGGG thank you! You have gifted me a new option of using wrapping lotion instead of gel for holds.

I am new to having my hair loc'd (just at a year). I have been bouncing around this ENTIRE YEAR trying to find a gel that won't sit on top of my hair - without luck. Also have an issue finding a loctician who tailors their products/service based on porosity - I have been to 5 so far and none of them believe me when I ask them not to use a lot of gel (and absolutely NO edge control) because both IMMEDIATELY (next day) leave a white/grey film on my hair along with scalp flakes. When my hair was chemically relaxed, my sister (who used to be a licensed cosmetologist) would use setting lotion to wrap my hair and I never had any issues with buildup or film. I forgot about that because I've been natural for many many years.

Thank you so much. I did the porosity test recently and learned my hair is low porous. Yay!! Been treating it like it was high porous and was wondering why product was just building up. Thanks for being so thorough.

I love this guy. I thought i had different hair textures but really its 2 different hair porositys. I feel so dumb but Im glad i found him.

[roki]

You ain't neva lied " different porosity in different areas of the hair" "Low porosity loves liquids" TRUTH!

[MargaretFlack]

Thanks I needed this. My son is very low porosity hair and I've been struggling buying the wrong products. Now I have it figured out.

[MszPreppy]

Ugh you are an angel, I can listen to you speak all day. I fell into thinking I can’t grow my 4c low porosity hair, but you’ve just revamped my regimen 🤞🏾 thank you!

[ReadLoveListen]

Steady taking 📝 because low porosity hair is no joke.

[psr]

It was straight to the point. I love it. You're right the wet brush is a good one.

For my low porosity girlies looking for mouse and gels my stylist recommended these three products that are game changers for me! The Doux Mousse Def, Zotos All About Curls (high def crunchless) and Xtreme pro-expert real 24 hours. They keep my 3b hair moisturized and actually lay my hair down which I've never experienced with other products
