Is having low porosity hair bad?

Having low porosity hair is not necessarily bad, but it can make it more difficult to manage. Low porosity hair has cuticles that are tightly packed and can make it difficult for moisturizers and other treatments to penetrate the hair shaft. Low porosity hair can also be more prone to tangles and frizz. To help manage low porosity hair, use products that are specifically formulated for it, such as clarifying shampoos and lighter conditioners. Avoid heat styling, and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle and moisturize your hair. Additionally, use steam treatments to help open the cuticles and allow moisture to penetrate.

Is it good to have high or low hair porosity?

Generally, it’s ideal to have medium porosity hair. High porosity hair tends to absorb moisture easily, but can also be prone to breakage and frizz. Low porosity hair can be difficult to hydrate, but is usually stronger and less likely to become damaged. Therefore, it’s best to aim for medium porosity hair if you can.

What are signs of low porosity hair?

Signs of low porosity hair include hair that takes a long time to get wet, is difficult to detangle, and has difficulty absorbing moisture. Other signs include hair that feels rubber-like when wet, takes a long time to dry, and is prone to product buildup. Additionally, low porosity hair is more resistant to dye and highlights, making it difficult to color.
