The Tea on Porosity
Why Your Hair Might Be Thirstier Than You on a Summer Day
Your hair is just like that one friend who’s always sipping on something, whether it’s iced coffee, tea, or a mimosa at brunch. Some of our strands guzzle down moisture like there’s no tomorrow, while others are out here rejecting hydration like they’re on a cleanse. That’s where hair porosity comes in.
If you’ve been side-eyeing your products like, “Why isn’t this working?!” your porosity might be the key to unlocking the glow-up your hair’s been waiting for.
So, What Is Porosity Anyway?
Porosity is basically your hair’s ability to soak up and hold moisture. Think of it as your hair’s thirst level:
- Low Porosity: Your hair is like that one bougie friend at the party—hard to impress and doesn’t let just anything in.
- Normal Porosity: It’s chill. Takes what it needs, holds onto it, and keeps it cute.
- High Porosity: This is the friend who’s always thirsty. Drinks up everything, but can’t hold onto it for long.
How to Tell Which One You Are
The Water Test: Take a strand of clean hair, drop it into a glass of water, and watch the magic.
-
- Floats? Low porosity.
- Sinks slowly? Normal porosity.
- Sinks fast? High porosity.
The Product Test:
-
- If your products sit on your hair like oil on water, you’re probably low porosity.
- If your hair soaks it in but still feels dry later, hello high porosity.
