You put me on to Olaplex for 4c hair via TikTok! Really saved my hair tbh! i've been using #3 since October. I cut my MBL hair to to 10 inches in October, and I'm at 12 inches today with the healthiest ends of my life lol! I've never retained length like this. Shoutout to YOU! Working to reach 16 inches in 2024🤞🏽 Two questions. 1. How often are you doing this routine? 2. What's your daily/weekly maintenance like? Would love to to see that routine as well! My biggest hurdle is staying ahead of dryness. Thank you for all you do!

Omg hi! This put a huge smile on my face. I do this routine every 2-3 weeks. It’s been more like 3 weeks lately. I moisturize my hair about every 7-10 days with the same routine, a leave in moisturizer, honey hydrate and curl maker at the tips of my hair. A water based leave in + honey hydrate does wonders for my hair! If my hair is looking a bit rough I retwist between the 1-2 week mark if I’m not washing my hair. 💗

@@fatimaxfarouk I agree!! I use a water based leave in plus honey mixed, a moisturizer I got from Charity with Unveiling the veil natural hair care, and I use natures protein coconut gelee on my ends. My hair is in mini braids so I do two cornrows and tuck the ends. I also do the baggy method on just my ends 3 times a week and OMGOSH!! I LOVE ALL THOSE PRODUCTS and how my hair feels!

I just realized you have 4c hair like me. What, I'm not sure about is if I have high or low porosity. How did you figure it out? The test I've taken gives off a low porosity vibe but I'm still not sure. My hair gets dry easily and I have lots of tangles and slip ends. Currently, my middle to back length is at bra length while the front session of my hair is shorter, and some parts are way shorter.🤦🏽‍♀️ I want to do a big chop and start all over but need to figure things out properly, pheww😤

@setapartaay925 5 ай бұрын

Hi there!! If your hair is healthy, there’s no need to do a big chop. I’d just say to cut the split ends and damaged hair and rock with that. My hair is at an uneven length because I just cut off my unhealthy ends too. It’s feeling and looking sooooo much healthier and better

@Brandy_j5 5 ай бұрын

I’m sorry to hear that. I agree with the comment above. It honestly sounds like your hair might be High Porosity based a few things you mentioned . To confirm your porosity, you can take a shed Hair strand after you shampoo it and put it in water for 15 minutes, if sinks it’s hp, if it is in the middle of the water it is mp but if it floats it is lp. Another way to tell is how well your hair soak up water. When you go to wash your hair does your hair need a couple of minutes to start soaking up the water (LP Low Porosity) or do your hair immediately gets wet the moment water hits it (HP High Porosity).

@nininelson6108 4 ай бұрын

@@Brandy_j5 Hi, thank you. I did the first test you mentioned on different occasions in the past and it came as low porosity. As for the other one, my hair takes a bit of time to get wet when I try to wash my hair. It also forms beads when it comes in contact with water, I have to squeeze it in. All these show it could be LP but it dries easily🤦🏽‍♀️ LP hair doesn't need thick products but my hair responds better to shea butter, mango butter and castor oil too when mixed with lighter oils. I currently use the Mielle moisturizing avocado milk, shea moisture raw shea butter deep moisturizing shampoo and the cream of nature mango and shea butter ultra-moisturizing conditioner. The milk and the conditioner are both thick, isn't that a sign of high porosity? How much time needed for your hair to soak water, determines if it's low or high?

@@setapartaay925 Okay, I will visit the hair salon and let them determine. I've been natural since December 24th, 2015 when I got a big chop and it's been a struggle. Making mistakes and trying things out, all to understand my hair better. I only got to discover the products I mentioned earlier in my other comment 3 months ago and they seem to be the only ones to work so far but my hair still gets dry after a while🚶🏾‍♀️

@@nininelson6108 ok, gotcha. It does seems like you’re LP. Also, try the baggy method. There’s tons of info about it. Seen some real growth doing that. I keep my hair in mini twists in a high bun during summer months and cornrows in a low bun during winter. I also use grease, do scalp massages, and I show some extra, extra, EXTRA TLC to my ends. I deep condition my entire head and then I deep condition my ends with oil right after. I also use Nature’s Protein coconut oil gelee for my ends while I do the baggy method…….🙏🏾🙌🏾😳😲🤭. I just purchased 7 jars of this stuff. LOVE IT!! #GameChanger
