The Term Porosity
Hair porosity is the ability of your hair to absorb and retain moisture. Therefore, porosity depends on the arrangement of the cuticles, which is influenced by genetics, products, and chemical processes.
Porosity is also an indicator that helps us better understand hair damage by evaluating the condition of the hair fiber.
Porosity can be classified into 3 types:
When hair is damaged, small cracks form in the protein structure of the fiber. These cracks indicate the hair has suffered damage and reveal the degree of porosity present in the hair.
High Porosity:
These are often damaged, bleached, or heavily chemically treated hair that has been overused with flat irons. In this type of hair, the cuticle is very open and damaged, making it challenging to retain products applied to it. These hair types require a lot of hydration and constant moisturization, as perseverance can make a significant difference. Alternating Tasmania Mask with L’Essentiel Mask is the best option. It’s also essential to note that this type of hair often requires reconstruction treatments such as Sublime 10.31.
