I had just recently seen my friend and stylist extraordinaire Shanelle for my twice-a-year hair color and cut.

Do what works for your hair instead of blindly following the natural hair trends. <\/strong>Everyone\u2019s hair is different. While it\u2019s great to get tips from others, you will have to experiment for yourself. For instance, some natural hair experts swear by the LCO or LOC method (where you use a liquid, cream and oil to moisturize your hair). <br><br>Others warn to stay away from the creams and oils. Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle. If I\u2019m wearing my hair straight, I stay away from the oils and creams because they weigh my hair down. I do use the LCO method when I\u2019m wearing my hair in twists or braids though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Knowing your hair porosity is more important than knowing your hair \u201ctype\u201d. <\/strong>When I initially transitioned to natural hair, I asked my hairstylist what \u201ctype\u201d my hair was so that I would know which natural hair advice to follow. It\u2019s a 3C\/4A. That information helped a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, I discovered that I had low porosity hair with a simple test that you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ouidad.com\/blog\/curly-hair-routine-101\/all-about-porosity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on the Ouidad blog<\/a>. This knowledge has been so useful! It has helped me to treat my hair better by using lighter oils, heat when conditioning and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-determine-hair-porosity-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"low porosity hair\" class=\"wp-image-38970\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-determine-hair-porosity-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-determine-hair-porosity-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>It also explained why rice water made my hair so dry and brittle.
