It is amazing what protein does for my hair man. Learning my porosity was the best thing for me.
With high porosity hair the strands are wide open so protein helps with coming in and getting into those open pockets and closing the hair shaft. If you have high porosity hair I would definitely recommend using a stronger protein treatment, and letting it sit longer than —
usual. Very little heat is required with High Porosity hair, you don’t need anything that will open that hair strand any more than it is. So when doing protein treatments or deep conditioning I would just let it hang out or place a thin cap/ plastic bag on my head, and rinse —
with cold water. Only time I use warm water not hot, is when I’m shampooing. I could talk so much more about this, and there is so much to hair (porosity, density, quality). Texture is the least of your worries.
Natural hair isn’t complicated I promise, it’s not for everyone & that is completely okay! @ this point I am really thinking about YouTubing. if you made it to the end of this thread, thanks for reading 😂💗
