HAIR PROSITY

Is the ability of the hair to absorb moisture. The degree of porosity is directly related to the condition of the cuticle layer. Healthy hair with a compact cuticle layer is naturally resistant to penetration. Porous hair has a raised cuticle layer that easily absorbs water.

Hair with low porosity is considered resistant hair.

Hair with average porosity is considered normal hair.

Hair with high porosity is considered overly porous hair is damaged, dry, fragile, and brittle.

The texture of the hair is not an indication of its porosity. Different degrees of porosity can be found in all hair textures. Although coarse hair normally has a low porosity and is resistant, coarse hair can also have high porosity.
