How to Care for High Porosity Hair

The cuticles for high porosity hair are lifted- which is why high porosity hair is easily moisturized. However, locking in moisture is a challenge. Protein treatments can be used to temporarily fill the spaces in the hair shaft and strengthen your hair. Also, on your wash days, cold water can be used to seal the hair cuticles. A cold water rinse should be done after conditioning the hair. Using the L.O.C. method to moisturize your hair can also be beneficial. This method will be discussed in my upcoming post.

Key factors:

- protein treatments

- cold water rinse

- moisturize & seal (Moisturizer + Oil)

Hair types that are generally very porous: straight hair, relaxed hair, color treated hair, heat-styled hair
