For a long time, I shampooed my hair everyday with the hottest water I could get from the shower faucet, and used an air dryer with the highest temperature and highest wind volume. After doing the hair porosity test, my hair strands all sank to the bottom of my mug — they are high porosity hair. Yes, I plead guilty, your honor. I have been doing this wrong the entire time, and now I know what I’ve done has completely destroyed my hair health.
So I changed my hair care routine. Now I don’t shampoo everyday; it’s only 2 times a week. I don’t rinse with the hottest water; now I use lukewarm and then cold water. I don’t air dry it with the highest temperature but the lowest. And I’ve grabbed all the hair care products that I can, trying to see if they can repair/improve my hair health.
Below is the table of all the hair care products that I got
