Does anyone realize how horrible Shea Moisture is for low porosity hair?

I know the low porosity line got discontinued but I remember trying out their shampoos from the Manuka Honey line (brown one) and Jamaican Castor oil shampoo as well. The conditioners from the same lines made my hair feel dry and weighed down just like the shampoos since the oils and butters are extremely high on the ingredient list which is horrible for low porosity hair. My hair feels a lot more moisturized with the Kinky Curly products since they don't have a ton of oils and butters like Shea Moisture.

Low porosity hair problems

I’ve been looking at lists for products that are good for low porosity hair, but then they’ll have ingredients that aren’t suggested for low porosity hair like coconut oil, olive oil, and a lot of protein. It’s so frustrating because I’m not sure what to believe. I’m trying to stay within a price range too, so I’ll finally find a product with a good price and then I’ll second guess myself. Does anyone have any advice?? I found a conditioner but I’m still looking for a shampoo. Thanks in advance!

At this point, please tell me my porosity. I have looked everywhere for help.

I have no idea what my porosity is. It has so many characteristics of both high, low and medium and I don't know why.

I have 2c, fine, high density hair. It takes ~1 hour to dry, is extremely protein sensitive, is never oily, takes awhile to absorb products but gets wet instantly, always feels dry, doesn't develop product build-up easily, and doesn't hold styles very easily. I think it's also important to mention I live in an extremely dry climate at high altitude, (2,900m/9186ft), and I'm someone who deals with dry skin too, so many that's related to my hair? I don't know. Could someone help me out or at least relate to me?

Thank you so much! Edited for spelling.

Can naturally high porosity hair change to medium/low porosity?

I have been naturally curly for about 2 years now. Rarely ever straighten my hair (and when I do I use the dyson hair dryer and straightener) and I have no chemical damage. At the beginning of my journey, when I chopped off all my heat damage, I still couldn’t understand why my strands where so bumpy and my hair was so frizzy and had no definition. It wasn’t until I realized that my hair is very porous.

I started using more protein heavy products and been able to achieve the definition I craved. I also got into olaplex and aphogee. But two year later my hair is still high porosity and I just hate how rough and bumpy my strands are and prone to split ends. I also love defined curls so I hate all the random frizzy strands that don’t cooperate (especially in the crown area)

No one in my family has high porosity hair. I’m the only one. My understanding is that porous hair = damaged, so there’s no going back. Is it possible to protect the hair from the root as it is growing out to keep it from becoming high porosity?

High porosity hair that's protein sensitive??

I have 2c, Fine, Thick hair and I have the traits of high porosity hair (it gets wet easily and dries within an hour, it absorbs products really quickly and easily, I never have any issue with it getting or looking oily), but it's protein sensitive. I have a feeling it just is in severe protein overload at the moment and I'm trying to combat that with moisture, and when I use protein I go the way I don't want to go. Can someone help explain what's going on?

Itchy scalp and low porosity hair

I’ve always had an itchy scalp and I know it used to be from oil. Once I started a modified WGM, my hair got way less oily but it’s still itchy. I’ve noticed small flakes and some acne, but I’m not sure if it’s actually dandruff or not. I have to wash my hair every other day because the itchiness becomes unbearable. I tried ACV but it made my hair brittle and fall out even after diluting it a lot. I started using coconut oil as a pre poo, but recently learned it’s not great for low porosity hair. It helps some but my scalp still gets somewhat itchy.

I’m trying to find some good shampoos that will help, or any other products that may help. It’s winter where I am so I think that’s also making it worse. I started using a free and clear conditioner and I’m wondering if the matching free and clear shampoo is good? Will it strip my low porosity hair? I’m trying to find better ways to moisturize my hair as well since I’m finally learning how to take care of my low porosity hair. Does anybody have any suggestions?

(I want to go to a dermatologist but my dad recently lost his job so we don’t have insurance atm, and this seems kind of unimportant to pay for fully considering everything else. I’m paying for all of my hair products because I just graduated and don’t have many bills)

What products should I buy for my low porosity 4C hair?

I've been trying to grow out my hair and got some decent growth but I feel like it could be betters so I want to do an overhaul of my hair routine.

What products should i buy for deep conditioning, conditioning and oil? (Thinking about trying the LCO method).

Also should I be combing out my hair with a afro pick (I comb from the ends to the root) or should I invest in a wide tooth comb. Is there anything else you guys recommend I should do to grow out my hair. Also how often should I be shampooing my hair. I do it once a week currently as I know that black hair does not build up as quickly as other hair but should I be doing it less often or more often?
