Recommendations for high porosity hair?

[JayVar72]

I have been having such a hard time with hair care lately . Ever since I had my hair colored (brown to tangerine orange) It fades so fast, and is super dry now. I have been using a color depositing conditioner, and color safe shampoo conditioner. But my hair will still fade super quickly, and it’s SUPER DRY from the middle to the ends of my hair.

Hi @JayVar72!

I have similar hair problems.  I have thick, black, porous hair that I've been bleaching and toning silver for over a year and it's been super damaging!  I've suffered from a lot of breakage as well.  Same as you, the bottom half of my hair is super dry while the top is more smooth.

For porous hair, I highly recommend using products with protein in them.  I've been using Redken Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner and follow with Redken Anti Snap Treatment.  Proteins help strengthen hair to reduce split ends and breakage.  Unfortunately, if you're already suffering from those 2 like me, the only thing to do is to cut your hair so it grows back stronger and healthier.  The protein products help to prevent future damage to your hair, but can't fix the damage already done.  I also use Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Hair Repair Treatment 3.3 oz/ 100 mL  before shampoo.

For hair oils, I use  Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment Light Hair Oil for Fine Hair 1.7 oz/ 50 mL  at night and Verb Ghost Weightless Oil to Fight Frizz and Enhance Shine 2 oz/ 60 mL  in the morning.  They're light and help to smooth my hair out.
