In this “Cook with me” video, I’m really showing you one of my go-to deep conditioning moments: I apply hair mayonnaise to my hair and then I go directly into steaming because my hair is low porosity. If you’re low porosity like me, you already know products can just sit on top of the hair shaft, so steaming is how I help my hair actually receive what I just applied. I break down why I’m big on hair steaming: it enhances product absorption, improves hair elasticity, supports scalp health, and helps the cuticles open up thanks to the heat. That opening is what helps you get maximum hydration, so the conditioner/moisturizer penetrates in the easiest way possible. My takeaway is simple and I’m going to say it plainly: if you have low porosity hair, this is a step you should absolutely not skip—like never skip steaming after you apply deep conditioner, hair mayonnaise, or any moisturizer. The goal is shiny, moisturized hair, and this step helps you get there. God bless you, and I’ll see you soon.
