How to Take Care of Your Low-Porosity Hair

You might ask yourself why your low porosity hair is not growing as much as you would want it... Time to learn the best tips on how to grow and care for low porosity hair. 

Low porosity hair has cuticles that are tightly packed together with no spaces in between them. Due to the lack of spaces it is difficult for water and other products such as conditioners and oils to penetrate the hair shaft.

Hair porosity is a term that refers to the hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture. How open or closed your hair’s cuticle determines your hair’s porosity. The cuticle is the outermost layer of hair strands. It consists of individual cuticles which overlap each other.

After applying any products, the water will not absord into your hair. This makes it harder for water to saturate the hair during a wash. It can be a challenge to get moisture into your hair.

Characteristics of low porosity hair

• With low porosity hair the cuticles are close together this makes it hard for products to penetrate. When applied your hair absorbs a little amount and the rest forms build-up.
• Hair products tend to sit on your hair instead of being absorbed.
• It takes a long time for low porosity hair to get wet and dry because there are fewer spaces between the cuticles.

1. Use heat for maximum hydration

Steaming your hair is the best way to bring hydration to your low porosity hair.Steam works well at hydrating low porosity hair because the moisture droplets are in a vapor state and have more energy than when in a liquid form.

Therefore, when compared to water at room temperature, they move faster and more freely, making it quicker and easier for moisture to penetrate your hair strand.
