High Porosity Recs

If you're curly hair and have high porosity hair, you need a lot of nourishment. Often high porosity hair is:

• Previously chemically processed
• Constantly dry
• Looks dull

The advantage over low porosity hair is there are so many great products out there that it's hard to just recommend a few, so instead of recommending lines, I'm recommending types of products. For best results you'll want one of each:

• Cowash
• Deep Conditioner
• Nourishing styler
• Lock in styler

Cleansing Conditioner/Cowash

If you have high porosity hair you will want to use the gentlest type of cleansing, which is a cleansing conditioner, AKA a "cowash"

• Innersense Hydrating Hairbath $$$
• Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Co-Wash Conditioning Cleanser $$
• TRESemmé Expert Selection Conditioner, Botanique Nourish and Replenish $ - a budget drugstore option, yes you can use a regular conditioner, but you might be a bit more prone to buildup.

Deep Conditioner

Once a week or more you'll want to follow your cowash with a deep conditioner to help your hair retain moisture.

• Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment $$$
• Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Treatment $$
• Coconut Oil $

Nourishing Styler

A nourshing styler helps further nourish your hair. Most of these are classified as milks, creams, or leave ins.

• Innersense Sweet Spirit Leave-In Conditioner $$$
• Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk $$
• Garnier Fructis Curl Sculpting Cream Gel $- CAUTION earlier formulations contain dimethicone, so make sure you're getting the new one by checking the ingredient list

Lock in styler

Lock in stylers help your curls/waves hold and also to lock in moisture.

• MopTop Anti-frizz Medium Hold Gel $$$
• Giovanni LA Natural Gel $$
• Aussie Instant Freeze Gel $
