The Difference Between High Porosity Hair, Low Porosity Hair, and Normal Hair


Hair porosity is the ability of hair to absorb and retain moisture. It's an essential factor to consider when it comes to hair care, as it can impact how your hair reacts to different products. High Porosity Hair:High porosity hair has gaps and spaces in the hair cuticle that allow moisture to enter the hair shaft quickly but also escape just as quickly. This type of hair is often damaged or chemically treated, and it can become frizzy, dry, and brittle. High porosity hair needs deep conditioning treatments, protein treatments, and heavier oils to lock in moisture. Low Porosity Hair:Low porosity hair has a tightly compacted cuticle layer that makes it difficult for moisture to penetrate. This type of hair is often shiny and healthy-looking but can feel greasy or heavy. Low porosity hair needs lightweight products that don't weigh it down, and it benefits from heat treatments to open up the cuticle and allow for better absorption of products. Normal Porosity Hair:Normal porosity hair has a balanced cuticle layer that allows for optimal absorption and retention of moisture. This type of hair is easy to manage and style, and it requires a moderate amount of maintenance. Normal porosity hair benefits from regular conditioning and styling with products that work well for your hair type. In conclusion, understanding your hair's porosity is crucial in developing an effective hair care routine. High porosity hair needs deep conditioning and protein treatments, low porosity hair requires lightweight products and heat treatments, and normal porosity hair benefits from regular conditioning and styling with products that work well for your hair type.
