Low Porosity Products

Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles, which makes it difficult for moisture to penetrate. Here are some key characteristics and considerations for low porosity hair:

- Resistant to Moisture: It can be challenging to get moisture into the hair, but once it's in, it stays hydrated longer.
- Slow to Dry: Low porosity hair takes longer to dry because the cuticles are tightly packed.
- Product Buildup: Products can sit on the surface of the hair instead of being absorbed, leading to buildup.
- Needs Lightweight Products: Use lightweight, water-based products that can penetrate the hair shaft.
- Heat Helps: Using heat (like a warm towel or hooded dryer) can help open the cuticles and allow moisture to enter.

Understanding your hair's porosity can help you choose the right products and treatments to keep it healthy and manageable.
