Video Tutorial: Twist out using Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and EcoStyler Gel (Argan)




My Impression:
I liked the softness that I got from the combination of Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and EcoStyler Gel (Argan). Even though the gel had max hold of 10, the SMCES helped reduce the crunchy effect. I also got great shine from the gel. The only issue I had was that I had whitish residue while twisting and the products took all night to absorb. This could be that maybe I put too much product. It could also be coming from the Giovanni Direct Leave In conditioner.

      I was scared after twisting my whole head and seeing every thing white. When I woke up the next morning, 8 hours later and it was gone, my heart had a sign of relieve. I was thinking it will stay white and I would have to do a WnG. Maybe you can try using less gel. That is what I have been told.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
