Sorry to hi jack the thread but I am totally confused. I thought this was the best method being touted because it was maximum hydration for women with dry porosity hair and not low porosity. I singled out high porosity because that hair type has difficulties retaining moisture which can make the hair look and feel dry and in some cases look like a brillo pad.
I am not going to knock this method because it has helped some women to achieve maximum hydration which is important to retention and also for ease of hair styles.
However, let us call a spade a spade maximum hydration is another method for fixing porosity issues.
I do not think the problem is hair type. I think it is a porosity issue. I know women with this 4C hair that do not have porosity issues and some 4C types with low porosity. It is the high porosity hair regardless of hair curl pattern that many women find problematic due to the extreme dryness factor. I know women who are a type 1 with high porosity hair that is like straw. This is why I believe porosity is much more important than the exact hair type since so many Afro women have various hair textures on one head.
I think for finer hair textures the Maximum Hydration Method might be too much manipulation and some of the products can act like a strong protein which might be too much if not followed up with moisture.
