My potentially-unpopular opinion is that so many people treat CGM like it's a holy set of unbreakable rules, The One True Way to Do Your Hair, and treat it like a competition to do CGM the best (an impulse I very much understand, as a competitive person!). If I want to wet brush my hair instead of finger detangle or use a wide-tooth comb, I will - it's fine. If I want to use a clarifying shampoo every couple weeks to remove buildup, I will - again, it's fine. There's no reward for being the best at CGM and while I think there's some great overarching ideas within it, the rigid Lorraine Massey version just does. not. work. on my hair, and I needed to actually be okay with the idea that I'm "doing it wrong."

Same thing applies to curls. And frankly it's a little annoying when women with pretty much straight hair with a little bit of wave think they understand the challenges of having actual curly hair.

There's a lot of misconception about porosity, yes... but the one thing I 'miss' in the explanation is that the cuticle layer is a layer that reacts on the environment/humidity. The layer can be damaged or even destroyed and stay always 'open' or partly 'open' but the cuticles of healthy hair with a "medium porosity" don't stay or sit in just one position the entire time: the cuticles react to the environment, for example to warmth (which often have more humidity in the air) or cold, or a very misty/foggy day ... in which we can't see the humidity but it's there (like in a bathroom with a lot of steam) . Although hair can be healthy, it will react to the steam, mist or on the opposite dry air so the cuticles go from (almost) close to a little lifted to more lifted and back all the time. So if hair absorb easily and it's healthy as well, it absorbs due to the reaction of the cuticles. When hair is high porosity due to any kind of damage, parts of the cuticle layer can't close properly or in worst scenario the layer is partly gone (gaps) the cuticles can't work like they should (open and close and vice versa) . Fine or very fine hair is more fragile , and while the cuticle layer is thinner (and because this hairtype misses the medula which thick hair has) it's also more prone to damage even when there's no hairdye or heat damage involved... and that can make the level of very fine natural hair more high porosity.

I am grateful that I had that time to invest in the health of my hair, but that journey will require a lot more patience and grace if you're leading a normal busy life. These days I wear my natural hair down a lot more than I ever did, and don't even mind the less than stellar wash day results, but I still end up pulling it back a few times a week because I can't be bothered to restyle it every day.

100% agree on porosity. The definition in hair terms was about damage. It was an assessment tool for a colorist before doing a color treatment, so they didn’t give you a chemical hair cut.

I saw a video a while ago (it may have been from Marisacurls, but I can’t remember for sure) where they said we are looking at protein/moisture balance incorrectly. It’s not a scale with moisture on one end and protein on the other and you’re trying to aim for the middle. Protein and moisture have their own separate scales with low moisture on one end and high moisture on the other (likewise with protein). Thus your hair could need both moisture and protein, or be fine on protein but need more moisture, etc. it made sense to me, what are your thoughts?

I have a very controversial and unpopular opinion that there is no such thing as "scalp training". The production of oil by your sebaceous glands is controlled by genetics. If not washing could make them produce less oil, then people with oily skin could wash their face less often and clear up their oily skin. I think anyone with oily skin will disagree with that. The only thing scalp training does is get you used to dirtier hair. If that is what you want then go for it, there is nothing wrong with that. But there is also nothing wrong with washing your hair every day if that is what you want to do.
@M3GPie2 жыл бұрын
One thing that can help oily skin produce less oil is to put oil on it. Making sure your skin is well moisturized can lessen the amount of natural oils you produce. It might not lessen it to the point that you don’t feel oily anymore, but it’s definitely a thing. I have really dry skin but my hair would get so oily so quickly. Now that I leave the natural oils in for longer, my scalp doesn’t need to produce as many oils so it doesn’t get greasy looking for days, but it took months of greasy looking hair to get to that point.

Or there should at least be a disclaimer at the start of these routine videos that using these styling methods frequently can result in traction alopecia for some individuals. Also, it just seems fishy that absolutely everyone in curly spaces feels like they have to Denman style, in order to have the 'right' kind of curls so everyone's unique curls end up looking the same. *Most of the time an issue you're having with your hair is going to be solved by doing less or accepting your hair, not by buying more products (but hair influencers will generally tell you otherwise).
