We all know that everyone’s hair is different, based on whether it’s thick or thin, straight or curly, long or short, but hair porosity is a lesser known factor to consider when it comes to taking care of your hair. Stefan Bertin, Brand Ambassador at Shea Moisture says “When we talk about porosity, we’re basically referring to how well our hair is able to absorb and hold on to water or moisture. The outermost part of our hair, or the layer known as the cuticle is what determines how porous your hair is. It determines how much water, how much moisture, how much oil passes in and out of your hair. It exists on a spectrum so you can have low porosity, medium porosity and you can have high porosity.”
So, what determines hair porosity and how do you determine what yours is?
“Porosity is often genetic but can also be affected by hormones and age. External factors such as heat, chemical processing, colouring, relaxing, perming, texturising can also affect your porosity” explains Stefan. “Low porosity hair has a tightly packed cuticle. It takes ages to dry and it takes ages to get completely wet even when submerged in water. It doesn’t really absorb conditioner very well, it can be resistant and stubborn towards any chemical processing. It is often very shiny and often very healthy.”
Sound familiar? Here are Stefan’s top tips for treating low porosity hair.
– Make sure you are washing with water that is quite warm. Warm water will encourage the cuticle to open and allow absorption of the conditioner that will follow.
– Try covering your hair with a plastic cap while it has conditioner or deep conditioner on. By doing that, you will trap the heat in and help your cuticle open even further.
– Dilute your conditioner. A lot of the time a conditioner will be too thick to work its way into low porosity hair. But if it’s mixed with water, it becomes thinner and it can work its way through the gaps in the cuticle.
– The products you will want to gravitate towards will have ingredients like honey or glycerin in them. They will draw moisture into your hair where sometimes oils will sit on top.
– Stay away from strengthening products or just using them sparingly if you have low porosity hair. Your hair and cuticle will already naturally have that strength and integrity so adding more can cause it to become brittle. Grab lighter products like sprays, milks, and lotions.
