Dear Ladies,
It's been awhile since I gave updates on my hair.
I shaved in May 2014, not BC but shaved.
Before I had shaved, I had dyed my hair dark brown and then after my hair was about 2 inches I colored again.
I noticed that my hair became highly porous. The only time that my hair had become like this was when I was braiding my hair back to back with extensions about four years ago and that raised my cuticles causing it to become porous. But I didn't know that extension braids were doing that to my fine hair. I just assumed that my cuticles were just extremely porous.
Anyhow, I stopped using extension braids with this latest transition in May 2014. My hair has come a long way from ten parts, to eight, to seven, to six and now five parts or sections. I can now do a high pony puff.
Because the color was still on top of my hair my hair I considered to be highly porous it would dry within seconds and the texture was like wheat chaff even though I used moisture products. And I did everything to correct that. But nothing worked, ph products, etc etc. The solution was to dust and trim away the colored ends as my hair grew longer. That process took about almost 1 full year.
And now, my hair is low porosity. Now that has other issues to contend with but I prefer my hair to be low porosity even though I have to learn new things. I will never lift my fine hair again with another color even if it is by a professional.
I want to add one more thing that there are parts of my hair that are normal porosity. So it is a mix.
Best,
