WHY IS KNOWING YOUR HAIR POROSITY IMPORTANT?

It gives you an idea of how to treat your hair porosity effectively. It is safe to say that knowing your hair porosity is the best way of knowing your hair naturally.
WHAT AFFECTS HAIR POROSITY?
To better understand and grasp how it works, let's explain. Normally, in order for your hair to stay hydrated and healthy, it absorbs everything it needs to be moisturized, like oils, water, and many others. But in order to absorb hydrating products, it has to pass through the hair cuticle and get to the cortex.
But, how will the hair receive all the things it needs to stay hydrated if the hair cuticle is almost closed? It makes things hard for the moisturizing substance to penetrate the hair cuticle and won't be able to go near the cortex. It makes things more complicated for your hair to stay hydrated and healthy.
It's also almost the same case when your hair cuticle is widely opened. Once your hair cuticle is always open, retaining moisture and staying hydrated can be hard.

Start your hair porosity water test by preparing a clean bowl with room temperature water and drop a few stands of your hair. Observe for at least 3 to 5 minutes and see what happens to the strands of hair you placed on the bowl.
If your hair sinks instantly from top to bottom, your hair is likely to be highly porous. If you saw that your hair slowly sank, it means that you have an average level of porous. If your hair remains floating on the surface after dropping it, your hair might likely be low porous, or you have a low porosity hair.
