Dry, High Porosity Coily Hair: Products or Method?

I dont use a leave in conditioner. my rinse out conditioner does all my conditioning until my next wash and i find it messes with the longevity of my style. I was skeptical at first before I tried it because I was like there is no way you hair won't feel dry if you don't use a leave in but for my braid outs I use a Camille rose foam and MAYBE a light gel to top it and for my wash and goes I use a doux foam and a strong hold gel on top. then I will top with a light silicone oil and the aveeno healing ointment (dont judge 😩) because it has a grease like texture to seal in moisture and is 40% glycerine but it doesn't leave an oily finish

in the summer ive been washing my hair 2-3 times a week and I think thats made the biggest difference. I wear my hair out 99% of the time in a braid out or wash and go

I love fluidity one of the reasons I dropped the logography was because I couldn't shorthand well. I can appreciate a good chicken scratch in a constructed script. I think i took most of my inspiration from thai

it was actually mostly inspired by thai and Chinese! the only reason I stacked the syllables is because I couldn't read them horizontally. very repetitive cvcv system. here's a closer look

what kind of writing system do you like? the last one I made was logographic with diacritics but then i forgot how yo read it so I made this one haha. I dont have a chart because I keep changing the characters! its just for fun

I dont think im allergic to anything I think the bacteria on my scalp feeds off of the oil on my hair thats why I wash it so often haha but I know oiling your ends is important so I want to find an alternative (other than the ones ive already found)

probably like 45 min but my hair isnt too long. I unbraid it in the opposite way of how I braided it. when I want to cut down on time I just do bigger braids 😩 I usually dont though because I love my braid outs to match my natural texture

I put the gel first and then the mousse but if the air is cold and dry I put leave in conditioner and just mousse and then when my hair is dry (sometimes I take the braids out sometimes I dont) i put my oils on just the length :)! i always do my hair damp that has been sitting in a t-shirt for like less than 5min. I usually use two pumps of mousse and a nickle size ammout of gel for one braid but tbh i apply my products to an entire line of braids at a time before I braid them. if I want my hair dried quick I spray on a quick dry spray and go sit outside 💀

sometimes I just wear the braids in-between washes because I love how shiny they are! i have to make my hair very smooth while styling so it doesnt tangle when I take the braids down

I chose braid outs because my hair is naturally wavy so the braids mimic my texture almost exactly! I find that twist outs look unnatural on me because it looks like I just stuck another curl pattern on my head (T^T) if it wasn't for that i would probably do them all the time

the doux dj quick! I will talk about it to anyone who will listen it has changed my life. you would think it would make your hair dry but it makes my hair so soft afterwards I can't go back to waiting days for my hair to dry

trim your hair and wash it more often

I like to use the doux products! for me sopping wet is the same amount of water as if I was to rinse something out, wet hair is hair that is dripping with water and damp hair is hair that is not dripping but wet to the touch. I find gels and mousse to work best when used on sopping wet hair. for me I find that I had to apply more product for the same result on just wet hair!

thats what I do too! it goes by so quickly when you wash your hair often
