NefertariBlu My hair is fine and highpo too so these recs might work for you. Giovanni smooth as silk (someone was just saying this is too light for a DC). My hair loves it. It is ultra moisturizing and does not contain protein. I have 3 of the big bottles in my stash as back ups. AO HSR is nice but works better when I add a little oil. I haven't tried the AO rosa mosqueto yet but its in my stash. Its supposed to be a good moisture DC too. Shea Moisture ABS purification masque is very moisturizing and a good clarifyer and detangler. When Im not lazy, I do a pink Australian clay masque treatment with the clay powder I ordered from B-N-B. This stuff is the TRUTH! It leaves the hair hydrated and perfectly moisturized. (I mix it with water and some other basic ingredients). People swear by that hairveda sitrinilla but I havent taken the plunge yet. I like to buy my stuff on the ground.Hope this helpsBump. I need recs for deep conditioner. I have fine HiPo hair
Question for my 3c/4a ladies: how long is your hair right now? ** Revised question. How long were you able to grow your hair with high porosity strands/ends?

I am MBL. I use protein treatments, like Aphogee 2 Step and collagen in my conditioner. I use Roux porosity control and vinegar final rinses. My normal leave-in is Infusium 23.
Thats interesting... Where did you get the collagen from? How often do you use the 2 step?
Why are "Humectants, cones, glycerin, mineral oil, petroleum, etc." things to avoid. I use all of these and my hair stays soft and moisturised. I do used proteins too though I do use cones and mineral oil from time to time. They are mainly styling cremes.
Why are these things things to avoid for HPH hair?
Here's a list of things I use
S Curl spray- glycerin
Taliah waajid protective mist bodifiyer- the formula i have has glycerin in it
Shea moisture deep treatment masque and leave in- glycerin
Shea moisture curling souffle- a whole bunch of humectants
Qhemet Alma cream- no humectants
Miss Jessie's buttercreme and meringue- petroleum
JBCO

My highly porous hair soaks up water and product fast but won't stay moisturized and elastic. Some days, the dryness and lack of moisture make me desire a relaxer.
For those who used the Claudie's conditioner, do you still recommend it? Di you order it from this site: http://store.claudieshairrevitalizer.com/conditioners? Exactly which conditioner did you purchase?
Thanks in advance!
Okay I'm going to come back to this thread to read up later. I have high porosity hair, but not from damage. It's that way naturally.
How do I know it's high porosity? Because it fully dries after washing in 1 hour or less. 20 minutes to dry if the temperature outside is around 70 degrees (21C)
Thank you.The water test helps. Fill a cup with water, take cleans strands (no product), then place strands (use shed hairs) in water. If hair floats- Lo Po; hair sinks to the bottom- Hi Po; and if hair stops in the middle- balanced.
Thank you.
I shouldn't ask rhetorical questions online lol.
I have seen the water/floating test before.
But my hair is definitely high po
