I’ve been transitioning from relaxed to natural hair for a few months now and I’ve noticed some breakage and shedding. While the shedding is somewhat natural for this type of transition, I know my breakage is due to my heat styling. I’ve been wearing my hair straight which requires me to blow-dry and flat iron my hair on a very high temperature due to my coarse hair texture.
I recently started using the Kerastase Resistance Bain De Force Shampoo which works to strengthen, restructure and protect damaged hair. It's recommended for naturally weak or chemically weakened hair. I love Kerastase products in general, since becoming familiar with them during my apprenticeship with Vidal Sassoon. For the most part I pretty much knew this wouldn't let me down and so far so good! I definitely recommend this one!

Mischo Beauty School: Hair Porosity 101
Let's discuss the hair's porosity. Porosity means the ability of the hair to absorb and retain moisture and is used to describe the condition of hair. It falls into the following categories:
a. Very porous
b. Porous
c. Normal
d. Resistant
A “normal” porosity will mean that the cuticle is closed and smooth. Healthy hair will usually have a normal to resistant cuticle, depending on the texture. ”Porous” to “very porous” hair will have a roughened cuticle meaning that the hair is probably damaged. It usually loses moisture very easy and is easily damaged.
To determine the porosity of your hair, feel it - both when wet and dry. If it feels straw-like and rough when dry, or if it feels gummy or slightly rubbery when wet, then you probably have a problem with porous to very porous hair. You should consult your stylist before receiving any chemical services in order to prevent further damage. Haircolor will take much more quickly and strongly and perms and relaxers will process much faster in porous to very porous hair.
Porous to very porous hair can be caused by:
1. Over coloring
2. Bleaching
3. Permanent Waving
4. Relaxing
5. Flat/curling irons
6. Improper blow-drying
7. Environment (sun, salt/chlorinated water)
