Low-porosity hair is a magnet for buildup. This shampoo is a lifesaver because it cleanses deeply without using harsh sulfates that strip your natural oils. It leaves my waves feeling light and ready for moisture.

Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo
This is my holy grail! It's water-based, so it actually penetrates the hair cuticle instead of just coating it. It’s light enough that it won't weigh down your wave pattern.

DIRECT LEAVE-IN™ WEIGHTLESS MOISTURE CONDITIONER - 2 Sizes
Most low-porosity hair is sensitive to protein, which can make it feel brittle. This mask is protein-free and uses Mongongo oil to soften the hair. Pro-tip: Use a warm towel while this is sitting on your hair to help it soak in

Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Hydrating Conditioner
If you want definition without that stiff 'crunchy' feeling, this is it. It’s a medium-hold jelly that is super lightweight. I apply it to soaking wet hair for the best results.

Hydro Style Flexi-Jelly
Avoid heavy oils like coconut or castor! Grapeseed oil is much thinner and acts as a perfect 'seal' to lock in moisture after you’ve applied your products.

Handcraft Blends 100% Pure Grapeseed Oil
Since we have to be careful about buildup at the roots, I use this every time I wash. It helps the shampoo really reach the scalp and feels like a mini spa treatment.

HEETA Scalp Massager Hair Growth Silicone
Low-porosity hair tangles easily. Using this before washing helps detangle and protects your waves from getting too dry during the
shampoo process.
Don't be scared by the coconut—this uses Coconut Water, not heavy oil. It's super lightweight and give...
African Pride Moisture Miracle Pre-Shampoo Detangler
If gels are too heavy, this mousse is the secret. It gives incredible definition to wavy hair without that weighed-down look.
Almond & Avocado Curl Enhancing Mousse
Low-porosity hair is easily damaged by high heat. Use this before diffusing your waves to keep the cuticle healthy and shiny
heat protectant spray
Since we struggle with buildup, a scalp scrub once every two weeks helps 'reset' your hair so your other products can actually penetrate.
CLEAN & PURE SCALP SCRUB
Low-porosity hair needs to be soaking wet for products to work. This bottle gives a fine mist that helps 're-wet' the hair without soaking your clothes
Continuous Mist Spray Bottle
A tiny bit goes a long way. It’s super concentrated but doesn't have the heavy proteins that make our hair type feel stiff
Avocado & Rose Oil Clump and Define Cream For Curly Hair
A natural gel option that provides great hold and shine. It's plant-based and water-soluble, so it washes out easily without leaving a film.
Orange Marmalade Flaxseed and Aloe Curl Definer
Traditional hair ties cause breakage and frizz. These silk ones are much gentler on wavy textures, especially when you're 'plopping' your hair
Skinny Scrunchies
This is the ultimate hack for low-porosity hair. It uses heat to open the hair cuticle so your deep conditioner can actually get inside
Hot Head deep conditioning heat cap for hair
