Best Moisturizer For Low Porosity 4B/C Natural Hair




I am always stressing moisture because it is really essential and I have had dry hair before and it's a pain. It was torture touching my hair and it felt like a steel wool , it would break like crazy and it was just annoying having to deal with dry hair.

To combat my dry hair I do a bomb.com spritz for my natural hair I make sure to add ingredients that will help my hair thrive so that I can stunt outchea 👌  . Water works great too but it has to be warm because if it is cold then it's just not going to work on my low porosity hair.

  • AVJ

I love AVJ. I underestimated the power of AVJ and it has worked wonders for my hair. I have been using it for a while now. But I think you will be just fine with water. As long as your moisturizer has water or a liquid base then you are good to go. I buy the Nature's Choice Aloe Vera Juice at Dischem. 
  • Water

Of course , the best moisturiser ever ! The AVJ I use is thick so I have to dilute it and make sure that it can can get through the spray nozzile. I can get away with using AVJ only but I prefer to add water into my spray bottle. 

  • Glycerine

Glycerine is one of my best buddies because it is a humectant , so it gains the moisture from the air and puts it into my hair. Whoop whoop 😊. I have to make sure that I properly dilute it though. However I don't use glycerine in the cold months.  I use vegetable glycerine by Dolly Varden you can get it at Clicks. 

I add a lot of water probably like half of the bottle will be filled with water and then my super thick AVJ. And then the other star of the show , glycerine yippee ,  then I shake it so that everything is mixed properly. 

I know I mentioned that I have low porosity and I know that I should have my water a little warm. However it becomes tiring and annoying after sometime . So the glycerine will work for me (because it's a humectant ) .

However when I do decide to warm it up I don't add warm water directly into my spritz bottle. I take a cup and pour some warm water in it and then put my spritz bottle inside the cup. I leave it in for about 5 minutes. And then the mixture will be nice and warm for my low porosity hair. I have a metal spray so I think I prefer putting it in warm water than adding the water inside. That's just me. 

I spray start from my ends and go to my roots and then I seal in the moisture with an oil or leave in conditioner .

And that is it!

I looove super simple things and this is one of them. 

I know it seems hard if you have low porosity and you label your hair as stubborn because you can't really get the moisture into your hair but don't give up on it.

However you need to do different things to figure out what works for you .

The Urge To Color My Natural Hair...

If you have been following me for a while then you probably know that my hair has been through a lot. I have had a terrible dye job and there was   too much damage so I had to cut my hair and go back to a TWA, my hair grew back eventually and I had to cut it back into a TWA again because I still had the rough, damaged and porous ends. My hair is growing consistently now and I have incorporated protective styles and I have minimal breakage and it's great. I love it however I have been going through Instagram and I always see all of these pictures with people and their beautiful dyed natural hair and that is enough to make me want to run to the nearest supermarket and buy some dye and color my hair... then I remember what I went through with the first dye job... My first dye job was terrible but I love switching up my hair. I love experimenting. I don't ever want to feel tired with my hair. I love my jet black hair, don't get me wrong, however sometimes I just want a po

How I Trim My Natural Hair

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram then you have probably seen that I have been rocking a mini puff and I'm excited that my hair is growing like a weed but I have to pull myself back and remind myself that I need a trim. As much as I love my current length I also have to trim my hair because a delayed trim can make me go back to a TWA in a matter of minutes because I would have to cut the damage that traveled all the way up my strands and so to avoid that I need to trim. Oh by the way, my hair is in the awkward stage and I have been incorporating a couple of protective styles. There are a few ways to trim your natural hair. I used two methods that are quite popular. I make sure to detangle small sections and I used : Spritz bottle Leave in conditioner Detangle brush Pik .. After detangling a section I spritz some water on my hair and apply a bit of leave in conditioner and rake it through my fingers and then I use my detangling brush to further detangle. I lost

Hello?

I hope there are still people outchea because I have been M. I. A but I promise that I have a good excuse : I'm in university now! 2017 was my gap year and that is why I could keep up with my weekly uploads but now that everything has been switched up and a lot has happened in a short space of time like emotional, financial, mental, physical stress and a little bit of drama 🙄. I had to take a digital cleanse and concentrate on some other things because they required most of my time and attention. I had to move to the North West and I had to adapt to the location, language, weather and a new schedule and I literally had no time to do anything besides study and do all my chores.  One thing that has drastically changed is the way I handle my finances. My disposable income is next to nothing because I have so many expenses and I have to cut corners in my natural hair regimen in order to keep my sanity and money and I figured that I'm not the only student going through this

Update : My Health And Confidence Journey + Going Vegan

Happy new year beautiful people , I know I'm late but I hope it still counts. A few days ago I made my way to the gym and I just felt strange , like I was lacking something  , I'm pretty sure you know that feeling , it's that feeling when it feels like you the only person noticing the change and everyone doesn't see anything and you go around asking people "do you see it though" , that is exactly how I felt a couple of days ago. I made my way to the gym and after my workout I took a warm steamy shower and I felt uneasy when I saw my shadow. I looked a bit closer and questioned myself like : " could it be ? " and I looked a bit closer and I finally found why I felt peculiar that day . My thighs aren't touching anymore , they touch just a little near my pelvic area though , and my muffin top is getting smaller. I also couldn't believe it. All that hard work is finally paying off. I have also noticed a difference in my back and my ri
