air Porosity Test - Try This At Home! 💧
Ever wonder why some hair products work for others but NOT you? The answer: POROSITY 🧬
What is Hair Porosity?
How well your hair absorbs & retains moisture (affects scalp treatment too!)
DIY Test (30 Seconds):
1. Take a clean strand of hair (shed hair, not pulled!)
2. Drop it in a glass of room-temp water
3. Wait 2-4 minutes
4. Observe where it settles
RESULTS:
💧 High Porosity (Sinks fast to bottom)
• Hair absorbs moisture quickly BUT loses it fast
• Usually damaged, porous cuticles
• Needs: protein treatments, leave-in moisture
• Scalp care: lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas
💧 Medium Porosity (Floats mid-level)
• Balanced absorption & retention
• Healthy cuticle structure
• Needs: regular maintenance, balanced routine
• Scalp care: most products work well!
💧 Low Porosity (Floats on top)
• Hair RESISTS moisture absorption
• Tightly closed cuticles
• Needs: heat to open cuticles, lightweight oils
• Scalp care: water-based, thin consistency best
Why This Matters for SCALP:
If you're using thick oils on low-porosity scalp = buildup city! 🏙️
If you're using light serums on high-porosity scalp = dries out fast!
Pro Tip: Match your scalp treatment to your porosity level for BEST results ✨
