Hair porosity is a term that’s used to describe how well your hair is able to absorb and retain moisture and oils.
If you have low porosity hair, it means the structure of your hair doesn’t easily allow moisture to be absorbed into your hair shaft. This can make it harder for water to saturate your hair.
How to care for low porosity hair?
1. Find products that have the right formulation for low porosity hair. These products will have ingredients that can more easily penetrate your hair. E.g. products that contain glycerin and honey.
2. Another important tip is to apply products when your hair is wet and warm. Heat can lift the hair cuticle, allowing oils and moisture to more easily penetrate the hair shaft.
