I Need Your Help

[jennifer30]

Last night I found out I have high porosity hair. I figure thats why im experiencing dry brittle hair.. my question is can high porosity hair still grow long? And what are just some of the products I can use for my high po hair?

I don't think porosity has anything to do with your hair growing. As long as you care for it the way it needs to be cared for, you should be fine. Do you use protein?

I don't know what my hair's porosity is, so I can't help you there.

I haven't been using any protein..

i could be wrong but there are so many high po ladies here. There is a high porosity thread here with a wealth of info. Type it in the search box. Hth!

I'd recommend using products with low pHs to seal the hair cuticle. This should help to normalize your high porosity issue.

I highly recommend Joico; they keep their products pH at 3.5 - 5.5 and their lines are protein rich (but don't cause over keratinization of the hair).

Joico Product Recommendations
Moisture DCs:

• Moisture Recovery Balm
• K-Pak Intense Hydrator

Protein (Heavy)
K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor

Shampoo:
K-Pak Shampoo
Moisture Recovery Shampoo

Tip: If you decide to buy Joico products, you can find them on Amazon heavily discounted, but only products "shipped and sold" by Amazon are guaranteed to be authentic.....not items that are "fulfilled" by Amazon and sold from a third party.

HTH...Good Luck

You may need some protein. You should check out the high porosity thread Beauti suggested.
