What is Deep Moisture Method?


Deep Moisture Method (DMM) is a process of retaining moisture in hair.  This method involves dampening one's hair with water or mixture of water and conditioner, and applying a deep conditioner thoroughly to hair.  Lastly, sealing in the moisture with shea butter or castor oil. Finally, putting the hair in a protective style.

This method has been spreading wildly in the natural hair community. One person testifies to going from collar bone length to armpit length in 2 months, while another went from armpit length to mid back length also in 2 months.

I have never attempted this method before Have you?

    No I can not say I've tried this method in fact this is the first I've actually heard of it. As for myself I'm not really looking to gain much length just wanting to keeo my strands healthy. I Like my hair on the shorter side.

    I would also likely be concerned about using a DC and leaving it in my hair, thinking it may leave a bit of buildup. I normally just try at sticking to using a product as they are directed to be used. All though there are some DC's that say it can also be used as a leave in.

    I don't know I'm on this fence with this one. I can't wait to learn more about this method. Thanks for sharing for those who are new to this method like myself. Take care and enjoy your day.

      I always look forward to reading your comments. I love your train of thought. I know that Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque can be left in as a styler. I am also very leery about leaving in products that are not meant to be left in.

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:...
