Porosity might be the culprit

[larry3344]

Since my BC(7 months ago) my biggest struggle has been maintaining a protein/moisture balance. My hair, 4a/b has a tendency to get crunchy dry no matter how much I moisturize and condition. So I did my research and with sistaslick's help I figured that my hair has high porosity; it is ridiculously soft when wet but as soon as it dry and feels crunchy. At the same time my hair has a tendency to break easily in the shower simply by me passing my hand lightly over my hair. I have found that my hair strands have splits all over the hair shaft and the list goes on... Now I am natural and I've realized using a strong protein made my hair super dry even after following it up with a moisturizing conditioner. My ends were so bad yesterday that I HAD to trim my hair and my hair has not even reach EL yet erplexed.
Now I decided to start over with my regimen and I need help, I find that silk proteins work a lot better without the crunchiness but at the same time I need to really focus on a moisture regimen. These are the products I want to incorporate in my regimen but I don't know how: Elasta QP mango butter, ORS replenishing pak, Dr. Bronners Castille soap, Acv rinse, JBCO and roux porosity control.

Can anyone suggest a moiturizer/leave-in, preferably organic, how frequently can roux porosity control be used and can it be used along with and ACV rinse?

I know it is a lot but I am at the end of my rope .

I've never used it, but Giovanni Direct Leave-In is raved about a lot on the board.

SheaMoisture Shea Butter Leave-In leaves my hair so moisturized . Or just plain unrefined Shea Butter does the trick as well.
