Grab a note or screenshot these 11 IMPORTANT tips right now: ➡
- Use oils, creams and butters, to help moisturizing and strengthen your hair. Be sure to use extra heavier oils and butters in your moisturizers and sealant to compensate for what you are missing.
- Prepoo. Pree poo stands for Pre-shampoo and it is the method of applying an oil or extract to the hair before shampooing your hair. It works well with high porosity hair as well, because just like Low porosity, it helps to lock in moisture and protect the hair against the stripping effects of shampoo. Try our Mami's Onion Juice Recipe, for amazing results!!! Or Click here to check our Roots Up Growth Oil TREATMENT to help strengthen, growth and cleanse the scalp before shampooing.
- For high porosity hair Apple Cider Vinager rinses are great for closing the cuticles and retain moisture.
- Make sure you use a Natural hair Anti-frizz microfiber towel
- Avoid warm/hot water when shampooing/conditioning your hair. Remember that the cuticles are already open and the job is to moisture and seal them.
- Deep condition at least twice a month. Try our Detangling & Growth Clay Conditioner and don't forget to state your hair Porosity in the "Opmerkingbox" when checking out.
- Find a good leave in conditioner that’s suitable for high porosity hair. For example our Detangling & Moisturizing Leave-in Conditioner, which we can also make according to your hair needs and Porosity.
- Avoid humectants like glycerine in your products.
- You can use both LOC (Liquid, Oil Cream) or LCO (Liquid, Cream, Oil) method to lock the moisture in the hair.
- Use products that contain a lot of slip, because high porosity hair’s cuticles gets caught really easily and tangles really fast like our previously mentioned products.
- When applying leave in conditioner, put a shower cap to prevent the moisture from escaping and seal your hair immediately after your done. Check our Aluminium Heat Cap on the website.
- Your hair needs a lot of protein to help fill the gaps caused by your raised cuticles. This can help make hair smoother and minimise frizz, Use products that contains protein for your hair (Like our Protein Mix Powder Mask) and make sure you give your hair protein treatment at least 2 a month. If your hair is protein sensitive, make sure you use product that contains no protein or just llittle bit.
People with medium porosity can also use protein, but I don’t recommend overusing it.
