4C low porosity hair recommendations

I have 4C hair and I struggle with low porosity a lot. Does anyone have any recommendations for any products to help me manage it?

Hi- I'm wondering if a leave in hair mask a couple times a week would help with overall manageability? I know it dries for my curls... Something like or ?

I am with you! Every product that works for everyone doesn’t work on my hair. I’ve been using LUSH products. I twist my hair up at night tho so it’s not a put in and go product but I find it keeps my hair moisturised if I keep up with the routine. If I miss two days of putting product in tho, I’m finished. Let me know if you’re interested in the products I use!

Hi there - @DieselEngine I would recommend a few key products to help your hair retain moisture. Remember some key facts about your hair with low porosity: Use Lightweight Oils, Use heat when deep conditioning, Steam the Hair, Avoid Heavy Products, Use Water-based Products and of course avoid Silicons.

Hope this is helpful to you!😄
