WASH DAY ROUTINE TYPE 4 LOW POROSITY

#washdayroutine #type4hair #lowporosity #fyp #viral

2024/10/26 Edited to

When caring for Type 4 low porosity hair, it's essential to focus on products that provide moisture without the heaviness. Start your wash day routine by using a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup and prepare the hair for deeper hydration. Follow up with a moisturizing conditioner rich in humectants like glycerin and honey to attract moisture. After conditioning, consider using a heat cap or steamer to enhance penetration. Low porosity hair often struggles with moisture absorption, so adding heat can help open the hair cuticles. For styling, lightweight leave-in conditioners and styling creams work best. These products allow for definition without weighing down the hair. Don't forget to incorporate regular protein treatments to strengthen and maintain elasticity, especially after protective styles like braids. Lastly, keep in mind to moisturize and seal daily to lock in moisture and maintain healthy hair. This routine, when followed consistently, can lead to vibrant and manageable Type 4 low porosity hair.

Deep conditioning low porosity hair?

If deep conditioning never works on your low porosity hair, it’s not because your hair “doesn’t like moisture.” It’s usually because moisture can’t get past buildup. Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles. When oils, butters, and products build up on the hair, deep conditioners sit on top
