Hair Porosity Test - Low Porosity

So after 3 years of being natural I finally decided to do a porosity test on my strands. From looking at various descriptions I always thought I had medium to low porosity hair but the strand test I did confirmed that my hair is severely low in porosity.

For the strand test, you are supposed to lay your clean strands in a bowl of water and wait to see how quick it sinks. If it sinks in less than 2 minutes, you have higher porosity hair, and if it takes longer or doesn’t sink at all you have low porosity hair. Based on this test, my hair was very low porosity. The strands never actually sank. This means that my hair has a very hard time soaking up the water.

After doing a lot of research on low porosity, the main pieces of advise I have found are -

Focus on moisturising rather than sealing - the problem with low porosity hair is getting moisture into the strands to begin with. Moisturisers with a high water content are a must, which is probably why my DIY Leave-In Conditioner works so well on my hair. Oils that penetrate the stead such as coconut oil are also good.

Steam / deep condition - To encourage moisture to penetrate the strands, heat/steam can be good to lift the cuticles. I recently bought myself the Heutiful steamer and have noticed the difference it makes in my hair so I will definitely be using it every time I deep condition. I have previously used Hair Therapy Wraps which work well as well.

Avoid heavy sealants - heavier sealants such as butters will tend to just lay on top of low porosity hair, weighing it down. I tend to only use heavier sealants like shea butter on my ends and use a lighter oil for the rest of my strand and have found that this works well.

The hair porosity test is something I would definitely recommend anyone do as it can help you shape your regimen more suitably to your needs.

Include black lesbian and trans women because they need and deserve the same respect and protection.

ablackwomansurvivingrape

believe us when we talk about our abuse, stop calling us liars

Dont use us when you need support then drop us when your choice of women suddenly become broader. It’s bad enough history calls us nothing but “bed warmers” we dont need our own Black men treating us the same. You want a “ride or die” fine, no prob but we want the same treatment.
