Optimal hair care begins with understanding your hair’s porosity. It refers to your hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture. This comprehensive guide from Youneek Pro Science will help you determine whether your hair is low, medium, or high porosity and introduce you to the unique Japanese camellia range, Japan’s No.1 Hair Care Secret for healthier and moisturized hair.
What is Hair Porosity?
Hair porosity is the measure of how easily moisture and oils penetrate the hair shaft. It is determined by the condition of the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair. The cuticle can be tightly packed or more open, affecting how well your hair can retain moisture and nutrients. Understanding your hair's porosity can help you select the right products and care techniques for your hair type.
Types of Hair Porosity:
Hair porosity generally falls into three categories: low, medium, and high. Each type requires specific care to maintain optimal health and appearance.
Low Porosity:
Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles, making it difficult for moisture and oils to penetrate the hair shaft. This hair type is often shiny and healthy looking but can be prone to product buildup and may take longer to dry.
Characteristics:
Water beads up on the surface of the hair.
Hair takes longer to get fully saturated when wet.
Products tend to sit on the hair rather than being absorbed.
Care Tips:
Use lightweight, water-based products that won't weigh hair down.
Apply heat during conditioning treatments to help open the cuticle.
Avoid heavy oils and butters that can cause buildup.
Medium Porosity:
Medium porosity hair has a slightly open cuticle, allowing for balanced moisture absorption and retention. This hair type is often the easiest to manage and style, as it can hold styles well and responds well to various products.
Characteristics:
Hair absorbs and retains moisture well.
Minimal frizz and manageable hair.
Holds styles well with minimal effort.
Care Tips:
Use a balanced mix of moisturizing and protein treatments.
Avoid excessive heat styling to maintain the cuticle’s health.
Regularly use deep conditioning treatments to keep hair hydrated.
High Porosity:
High porosity hair has gaps and holes in the cuticle, making it prone to absorbing moisture quickly but also losing it just as fast. This hair type can be prone to frizz, tangling, and damage, and requires more intensive care to maintain health.
Characteristics:
Hair absorbs water quickly but also dries quickly.
Prone to frizz, tangling, and breakage.
Often looks and feels dry and brittle.
Care Tips:
Use heavier creams and oils to help lock in moisture.
Avoid over-washing and over-manipulating the hair.
Incorporate regular protein treatments to strengthen the hair.
