High Porosity/Low Porosity

Porosity is your hair's ability to absorb moisture and is broken down into three categories: high, normal, or low.

​

​

Having high porosity can mean that your hair has gaps, tears, or just simply absorbs water/moisture as fast as it can dry up.

​

​

Low porosity can mean that your cuticles are tight, and resistant to water/moisture.

​

​

Normal porosity, well your hair pretty much holds shine & moisture for a substantial amount of time.

​

​

Tips: A simple porosity test (taking a strand of your hair and putting it in a cup of water) can indicate whether you have high porosity(if the strand sinks to the bottom), low porosity(if the strand floats at the top), or normal porosity(if the strand flows and lingers midway).
