Indulge in regular DC and protein treatments to soothe and protect your tresses.Stay away from harsh heat treatments, bleach and colour treatments as damage travels into the hair very easily with high porosity hair.
Here are a few curl care pointers based on your porosity: Now that you’ve had a chance to test your porosity, it will go a long way in deciding what kind of products suit your hair, how often you need to deep condition (DC) or do protein treatments and how best you can traverse along your CG journey to keep your curls bouncy and lively for longer.
The simplest way to check your hair’s porosity is dropping a few strands of your loose hair and checking if it floats or sinks, low porosity hair tends to float while higher porosity strands sink. High porosity hair absorbs moisture and products better but is also more susceptible to damage and environmental factors such as heat and pollution. To elaborate further, if your hair has low porosity, it not only repels moisture but keeps damage away too. Now, your cuticle structure decides how much moisture it chooses to let into the hair shaft and that is basically what porosity is. Each strand of hair has a layer known as the cuticle. To break it down, let’s get to the basics – a strand of hair. If it bounces back quickly you have optimal elasticity but if not, it is a sign of dry and fragile hair. Simply take a curly strand of your hair and tug on it and notice how long it takes to bounce back. The elasticity of your hair is its ability to bounce back into shape and this also reflects the protein levels present in your hair shaft.
