Yasss! Styling with soaking wet hair has worked so well for me. I wash, deep condition, and apply my leave-in while in the shower. I leave my shower cap on to seal in the moisture with heat. Then when I'm ready, since my hair is still soaking wet I put my styler (gel/cream) on and then air dry or diffuse. This has been a game changer for my wash and go routine. I have low porosity hair and my curls have been looking so bomb since I started doing this.

Can we just all take a second to admire her beauty tho

Finding out I have low porosity hair has been a game changer. I totally agreed with your tips, warm water is our best friend, deep conditioning with a shower cap is a must, and styling on wet/damp hair is soooo much easier💯💛

U are so right with everything....cold water makes my hair stiff and hard I tried that when first went natural following the trend of other naturals it was horrible love your video...🤗

[ilzeamos]

Oh my goodness. The tip about heat with deep conditioning stood out to me. I took my hair out of braids about a month ago. When I finally got to wash day, I deep conditioned and because I could not find my shower cap and I ran out of plastic bags, I opted to blow dry it all over while the deep conditioner was in. Its been 3 washes ever since and my hair is so ridiculously soft it still amazes me. So now I understand what caused the softness.

the cold water one is a relief tbh 😂 i hate finishing a shower with cold water

Low porosity over here🙋🏽‍♀️this was very helpful!

I’m more of a 2C/3A hair type but my hair is low porosity and stubborn as a mule and I’m learning so much from your video!

[ryeechan]

This! I was struggling with getting products to work in my hair and it just sat on top of my hair leaving it dry and hard to manage. I also figured I didn't have a curl pattern. Then I discovered using warm water and I never seen my hair this curly in my life. Never knew my hair could curl or realised how much the wrong techniques can make you struggle with your hair more than necessary. Understanding my low porosity hair has been a game changer.

I’m just finding out today that I shouldn’t rinse with cold water lol

[JessicaPandino]

Learning about low porosity hair has been the most helpful thing with transforming my hair! I used to do all the mistakes you mention. Cold water at the end was the big one. I also kept trying deep conditioners, thinking they just didn't work. It was like I had done nothing so it felt like a waste of time, and I haven't even bothered more than a few times in my life. I bought a heat cap last year once I learned about porosity. I had already given my deep conditioners away though, so I'm still trying to find the right one to try it with!

I just discovered my hair was low porosity. My entire life I thought I was high. Omg😭 what a lifestyle change I was wondering why my hair acts a certain way!

[temptycoon]

6 months into my hair journey I still didn’t know why my hair wasn’t working well with my products. Thank you so much.

[ELIZA-whkw]

informative. I have low-porosity curls, and I would always think that, I was doing something wrong when wouldn't use a cold rinse when washing my hair lol. definitely gonna try sitting under a heated dryer.

[shhaaiikkhha]

I was today years old when I found out that cold water doesn't work for me. It makes so much sense now thank you!!

[jantysasg]

M so glad to hear you Answer the questions i've been having, coz i currently found out about my hair porosity which is Low.. which makes sense to why most products didnt work for me and i end up overusing products hoping to find silky smooth hair....

[Gabrielle-Esther]

Yes Cold water does Not work for Low Porosity hair because that makes the hair cuticles More “hard headed”, Lolololol Smh

[melodieborja]

This is easily the most accurate, easy to follow, and informative video on Low Porosity hair! Thank you🙏🏽🥰

[aprilchow-chee]

What you said especially about shampooing 👏👏👏👏 couldn't agree more I have low porosity hair as well and I think we have a close/similar hair type. I recently cut off my hair in a short bob and I'm looking forward for this new hair journey.

[nathalieprange]

Totally agree with every point you made. I'm the same! Thank you!!!

Just one detail: scientists have found that hot/cold water doesn't open/close the cuticle. It's all in the products you use: your conditioner opens the cuticle and heat activates the conditioner, but water doesn't open or close the cuticle... 🤷
