The best Cleansers & Clarifiers ✨
OMG, you NEED this once a month! It strips away all the heavy build-up that low-poro hair loves to collect, letting my hair actually breathe and absorb moisture again!
K18 - PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo
This is my main wash day go-to! It's sulfate-free but still gets a great lather, and it's light enough not to weigh down my fine strands. It's the perfect gentle clean.
SheaMoisture - SheaMoisture, Grapeseed Oil & Tea Tree Oils, Low Porosity Weightless Hydrating Shampoo, 13 fl oz (384 ml)
I use this when my hair needs a gentle refresh but not a full wash. It lightly cleanses and detangles without stripping the natural oils, making wash day super easy!
As I Am - Coconut CoWash Cleansing Conditioner
The best Conditioners & Deep Treatments ✨
This is my daily conditioner because it has amazing slip for detangling but isn't too thick! It rinses clean easily, so I never get that heavy, coated feeling.
Mielle - Pomegranate & Honey Detangling Conditioner
Since low-poro hair can be sensitive to protein, this is my weekly hero! I use heat (like a shower cap) with it to force the lightweight moisture deep into my strands.
Briogeo - Lightweight Hydration Hair Mask
Okay, this is a tool, but it's essential for getting masks to work! The gentle heat opens up my cuticles, making every lightweight mask absorb like magic.
Glow by Daye Deep Conditioning Heat Cap
I use this as my liquid step in the L.O.C. method! It's a fine mist that gives immediate hydration and detangles without the thickness of a cream.
Mizani
- 25 Miracle Milk Heat Protectant Leave-In Conditioner
The best Leave-Ins & Sealants ✨
My hair drinks this up! It's perfect because it's water-based and doesn't contain heavy butters, so it conditions without coating my hair. Detangling is a breeze with this!
Kinky-Curly Knot Today Natural Leave In Detangler
When I need a little hold and definition, this is the lightest cream I'll use. It has enough moisture to smooth frizz but doesn't weigh down my curls like heavy butters do.
Camille Rose
- Curl Love Moisture Milk
Mousse is fantastic for low porosity! It gives amazing hold and volume without the slick, heavy feeling of a gel. It defines my curls perfectly!
The Doux - Mousse Def Texture Foam Curl Enhancer
The best Maintenance & Protection ✨
A healthy scalp is essential for low-poro! This scrub helps physically lift any build-up sitting right at my root, which can cause oiliness and itchiness.
Briogeo - Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub Shampoo
Even if I air dry, I use a tiny dab of this! It helps smooth the cuticle for maximum shine and protects my strands from damage without being too rich.
Olaplex - No. 6 Bond Smoother Frizz Control Styling Hair Cream
Ditching my cotton towel was a game-changer! This towel reduces frizz and absorbs excess water without roughing up my cuticle, which helps with smooth definition.
AQUIS - frizz-reducing towel 🤍
