High vs. Low Porosity Hair and What You Need to Know

When it comes to achieving healthy, gorgeous hair, one of the most important factors to consider is your hair’s porosity. Hair porosity refers to how well your hair can absorb and retain moisture. Knowing your hair porosity can make a big difference in how you care for your strands and which products will work best for you. In this post, we’ll break down high and low porosity hair, how to find out which one you have, and product recommendations tailored to your hair type.

High Porosity Hair: What You Need to Know

If you have high porosity hair, it means that your hair absorbs moisture easily, but it can also lose it just as quickly. This type of hair often has raised or damaged cuticles, making it more prone to frizz, breakage, and dryness. High porosity hair may have been damaged by heat styling, chemical treatments, or environmental factors, leaving it more vulnerable to external aggressors. Not sure of your hair porosity?
