The Greenhouse Effect

The Greenhouse Effect is a process that has been gaining popularity among natural hair enthusiasts, as it is known to provide a host of benefits for both low and high porosity hair. The process involves using a plastic cap or shower cap to cover the hair after applying a deep conditioning treatment. The heat generated from the scalp helps to open up the cuticles of the hair, allowing the conditioning treatment to penetrate deeper into the hair shaft. This process is particularly beneficial for low porosity hair, as it can be difficult for moisture to penetrate the tightly closed cuticles.
