    GlossaryHair Porosity

    hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture

    Hair porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. It is determined by the condition of the hair cuticle, which can be low, medium, or high porosity. Low porosity hair has tightly bound cuticles that repel moisture, medium porosity hair has a balanced ability to absorb and retain moisture, and high porosity hair has gaps and holes in the cuticle that allow moisture to enter and escape easily. Understanding hair porosity is crucial for selecting appropriate hair care products and treatments.
