    Default 4c hair care routine

    I have high porosity 4C hair and am having trouble coming up with a hair care routine. Obviously, I know moisture is key. I keep hearing about all these homemade remedies but my hair doesn’t always respond to them (then again I might just not be patient enough to try them).

    What are are some remedies that you’ve tried that worked for your hair. Growth as well

    hm. Since your hair is highly porous...have cold water rinses helped to seal moisture in? If I remember correctly, high porosity hair doesn't hold onto moisture because the "pores" in your hair shaft let's the moisture slip out, right? Cold water can help close the hair shaft a bit and maybe that way you'll retain what you put into your hair. I actually have low porosity hair if my memory serves me correct. I checked probably 7 years ago but I only think it's low porosity because, even now, I use a lot of hot water/hot oil treatments/heated caps whenever I want to really pamper my hair because the heat opens up my hair shaft so that moisture can finally get into it. I'm 3C but the opposite should still work for you.

    Products with marshmallow root can detangle like magic for any (yes even deeply coiled hair) type

    work in Sections

    use good deep conditioner

    loosen the curls with braids, twists, etc last resort would be heat or chemical curl loosener but that can cause damage so beware

    find a good pro stylist who is familiar with this hair type
