How to Test Your Hair's Porosity
- Low porosity: Doesn't easily absorb chemicals or water because the hair's cuticles lie flat and very tightly together; this doesn't mean it's unhealthy in any way, although this porosity level is often difficult to color.
- Normal porosity: Readily takes chemicals and easily absorbs water.
- High porosity: The hair's cuticles are raised or damaged, allowing too much water in, leading to frizz and dryness.
Knowing your hair's porosity levels is important because it helps you understand how healthy, or unhealthy, your hair is, as well as helping you choose the best products for it. HAIRFINITY is a hair vitamin complex that will provide your hair with the nutrients that it needs to be healthy and help you manage the porosity of your hair.
How to Test Your Hair's Porosity
A quick and simple test to determine your porosity level is to take a few strands of freshly shampooed, dry hair and drop them into a glass of water. After several minutes, check the strands. Floating strands are low or normal porosity, while those that sink are high.
How to Correct Porosity Levels
While low porosity hair is generally healthy, stick to humectant products and use protein very sparingly. High porosity hair can often be corrected if it's due to damage from heat or chemical abuse.
Apply HAIRFINITY Strengthening Amino Masque to fill in cuticle holes, and deep condition with Balanced Moisture Conditioner regularly. You should also stay away from humectant products in hot, humid weather to avoid holding onto excess moisture from the air – this is what causes your hair to frizz.
If your hair is normal porosity, continue to maintain a good protein/moisture balance, erring on the side of more moisture if your hair is curly and/or dry.
