High porosity your hair would immediately get wet

@@usercherry88765 Low porosity hair finds it difficult to absorb water/ moisture so basically water, oils and creams do not penetrate the hair cuticles - they just sit on the hair and your hair still feels dry even with all the hair product. Normal porosity absorbs it just fine so products are able to penetrate the hair shaft/cuticle properly and high porosity absorbs it too quickly and can cause hygral fatigue.

Porosity is your hair ability to take in and maintain moisture. Low Porosity means it takes a while for your hair to absorb water and it dries out quick. High Porosity is it takes in water quick and holds on to water longer.

Normal or high porosity

@@serinaharvey5599Your hair absorbs the water instead of it just sitting on the surface

​​@@serinaharvey5599Low porosity hair finds it difficult to absorb water/moisture. Basically, you could mist your hair and apply creams and oils and it'll just sit on it and not penetrate the hair cuticles. So hair like that doesn't hydrate properly and ironically takes forever to dry (due to the fact that products sit on it) so it's no good - unless you know how to work with it. Normal porosity hair absorbs it just fine. And high porosity hair absorbs water too quickly and can suffer hygral fatigue.

@hannayaya7413 finally someone explains this in a way that makes sense! Thank you

Speaking from experience it sucks so badly but it’s completely natural and normal

If your natural your gonna wanna know your porosity level

Bad until you learn how to formulate your hair care to your porosity, then good.

It’s just different hair types, it’s good to educate as most products are not made for every type of hair

Benefits and drawbacks to each type
