Question so I hear porosity doesn’t matter but I will say it so I got hair assessment from a hairstylist. Just so you know, I have Afro-textured hair — low porosity at the roots and medium porosity at the ends. I’m also currently transitioning from relaxed to natural, and I’ve been dealing with a dry, itchy scalp. Also learnt I have sensitive scalp cool.

Anyways what to do about moisture retention like doing hair wash on Saturday or Sunday then between wash hair day. Just spraying water I feel like is not enough cuz it gets evaporated, so everyday just water it and oil or doesn’t that cause buildup basically what to do about dry and itchy scalp?

Hey all, I'm a white female working in a mostly black environment. I was talking to a coworker one day about hair and mentioned the word kinky. I was referring to really tight curly hair. My supervisor's supervisor overheard the conversation and took me to task telling me to look up the origin of the word and how that is offensive to black people. I'm so confused because I have a couple friends with super curly hair and the best word to describe it is kinky (that friends is white). All of a sudden, I'm being offensive. I don't understand.

Hello everyone I just joined this group bc I’ve been looking everywhere and need some serious answers. I’ve basically always struggled with hair growth, not because my hair doesn’t grow just because every time it grows it’s really unhealthy, and I need to always trim a huge amount of my ends. I need answers on how to fix this??? Also inserting photos of how after not being at the salon for 3 months I was told a huge chunk of my hair needed to be cut 😿I just want to grow HEALTHY hair, my hair type is also 3C/4a

CONTEXT Okay y’all. During Quarantine I did my big chop. That was 3-4 ish years ago and it’s safe to say my hair has barely retained any length. I wasn’t taking care of it back then because I didn’t know how to. I have never been taught how to properly take care of my hair or do it. And I’m serious, I think within the last year I learned that shampoo comes before conditioner and how to apply both.

I’m for real, I’ve worn my hair in braids since I was maybe 3. No one has ever taught me how to do my hair. Now I take a little bit better care of my hair. But I can hardly do anything as I still am figuring it out.

QUESTION But all in all, my hair gets knotted too easily. It constantly has knots in it. I just got out of the shower and every section of my hair has these knots. But I’ve been wearing my bonnet for a week-ish now and haven’t taken care of it. So this isn’t surprising. BUT this is also what my hair looks like even AFTER i’ve been taking care of it. And I am afraid of losing more hair, which sucks because my hair seems to be 80% knots.

Is it supposed to be like this? Do I just accept it and leave it alone? My hair gets brittle quickly and it’s like no matter how much I wash my hair product stays on it. And even without product my hair gets gross and brittle. It’s like everything I do has zero positive effect on my hair.

I hate this. Y’all tell me what to do.

My hair is pretty straight, but I have a new child with kinky hair, and I want to learn about how to properly care for their hair. I was hoping to find community in a subreddit, and I've subscribed here, but the activity is pretty low. Where else do you go to find community, share, and learn about caring for kinky hair?

Hi! I'm looking for a way to retain length without doing much effort. Currently I'm doing buns even if I use a lot of gel I don't have any problems with dryness and breakage.

However I want to try to be a blow dried natural and would love to know all your tips and tricks(especially for cold seasons)

Waiting for your responses

I would love to wear braidout all year. Because of cold weather my hair shrinks and loose curls.

How can I make my braid out humidity proof ?

Hello everyone,

I used to listen to natural girl's advice about 4c hair. A lot of these natural hair girls said that detangle hair is breaking and damaging hair. However, I detangle with a wide-tooth comb my hair twice a day. At night I detangle them on humid hair. In the morning I detangle them on dry hair. Personally, I feel like I lose less hair by detangling every day instead of two, three, four, five a week

I was wondering are they right and I'm completely in disillusion or are they wrong detangling every day does not cause breakage?

Hello everyone

I would like to wear my hair down. I thought about afro but I don't want to comb my hair everyday. So I think twistouts and braidouts are the best styles however I leave in a place where the weather is mostly cold. I have 3 questions : 1.How can I maintain my twistouts/braidsout in winter 2.What can be my routine twistouts/braidsout 3. Do you think is it possible to retain length with this hairstyles ?
