This at-home test will help you determine what condition your hair is in and what types of treatments will make it look better and stronger.
Porosity is the ability of hair to absorb moisture. The higher the degree of cuticle damage, the higher the degree of porosity. Like a sponge, they absorb dirt, dust and moisture, which is why they swell and lie poorly.
Porosity affects not only the appearance, but also the potential of the hair – after all, with certain degrees of porosity, for example, it is forbidden to do a standard perm or bleach. That’s why it’s so important to know how prone your hair is to porosity.
In order to determine your hair porosity, you only need a few free minutes and a cup of room temperature water. Dip a few strands in water and watch how the curls start to behave.
