How to find out your porosity:

Understanding your hair's porosity is crucial when it comes to establishing a proper hair care routine. Hair porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. It can be classified as low, medium, or high, and each porosity level requires a specific approach to maintain healthy, vibrant hair. One simple and cost-effective method to determine your hair porosity is by using a cup of water. In this article, we will explore the steps to test your hair porosity using water and discover the valuable insights it can provide.

Step 1: Gathering the Supplies
To perform the hair porosity test, you will need the following items:
1. A clean, transparent glass or cup
2. Filtered or distilled water (at room temperature)
3. A couple strands of clean, dry hair (preferably shed hair)

Step 2: Preparation
Ensure that your hair is clean and dry before proceeding with the test. Avoid applying any hair products that might interfere with the test results. This will provide accurate insights into your hair's natural porosity.

Step 3: Performing the Test
Follow these steps to perform the hair porosity test using a cup of water:

1. Fill the cup: Pour room temperature water into the glass or cup, ensuring that it is deep enough to fully immerse the hair strand.

2. Drop the hair strand: Gently place the strand of hair into the water, allowing it to sink naturally. Avoid stirring or agitating the water, as this may affect the accuracy of the results.

3. Observe the hair's behavior: Pay close attention to what happens to the hair strand in the water. The hair's reaction will help determine its porosity level.

a. Low porosity hair: If the hair strand remains floating on the water's surface for an extended period without absorbing any water, it indicates low porosity. Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles, making it resistant to moisture absorption.

b. Medium porosity hair: If the hair strand sinks slowly to the middle of the cup before settling, it suggests medium porosity. Medium porosity hair has a balanced ability to absorb and retain moisture.

c. High porosity hair: If the hair strand sinks rapidly to the bottom of the cup, it indicates high porosity. High porosity hair has raised cuticles, allowing excessive moisture absorption but making it difficult to retain.

4. Note the results: Take note of the porosity level exhibited by your hair strand and compare it to the descriptions provided for low, medium, and high porosity. This information will guide you in selecting suitable hair care products and routines.

Characteristics of Low Porosity Hair:

1. Slow Water Absorption: Low porosity hair has a tightly packed cuticle layer that makes it difficult for water to penetrate the hair shaft. As a result, water tends to bead up on the hair rather than being absorbed.

2. Product Buildup: The tight cuticle layer also makes it challenging for hair products to penetrate the hair shaft, leading to product buildup on the surface of the hair.

3. Difficulty with Moisture Retention: Due to its resistance to moisture, low porosity hair may struggle to retain moisture, causing it to feel dry and brittle.

4. Prone to Product Residue: Low porosity hair is more susceptible to product residue, as it can easily sit on the surface of the hair instead of being absorbed.

 

Tips for Caring for Low Porosity Hair:

0. Revitalizing Low Porosity Hair with Crown Hair Care:

Revive your low porosity hair with Crown Hair Care's targeted solutions. Experience deep hydration and improved moisture retention with the "Poroluxe" deep conditioner. Enhance your routine with the leave-in conditioner, providing nourishment and protection for your low porosity locks.

1. Clarify Regularly: Use a clarifying shampoo or apple cider vinegar rinse occasionally to remove product buildup and open up the hair cuticles for better product absorption.

2. Pre-Poo with Oils: Before shampooing, apply lightweight oils like coconut, jojoba, or grapeseed oil to the hair. This helps to raise the hair cuticles slightly, allowing moisture to penetrate.

3. Warm Water Rinse: Rinse your hair with warm water before applying conditioner or deep conditioner. Warm water can help open up the cuticles temporarily, allowing better product absorption.

4. Avoid Heavy Products: Opt for lightweight, water-based products that won't weigh down the hair or contribute to product buildup. Use products with ingredients with small molecularly structured oils.

5. Use Heat: Heat can help open up the hair cuticles and improve product absorption. Consider incorporating gentle heat treatments such as using a hair steamer or a warm towel wrap during deep conditioning.

6. Deep Condition Regularly: Deep condition your hair regularly with a moisturizing deep conditioner to provide intense hydration. Apply heat or use a plastic cap to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

7. Moisturize and Seal: After washing and conditioning, apply a water-based leave-in conditioner or moisturizer to hydrate the hair. Follow up with a lightweight oil or butter to seal in the moisture. 

8. Protective Styling: Consider protective hairstyles that help retain moisture and reduce manipulation, such as braids, twists, or updos.

Remember, everyone's hair is unique, so it's essential to experiment and find the techniques and products that work best for your low porosity hair. Regular moisture and proper product selection are key to maintaining healthy, well-hydrated low porosity hair.

Characteristics of High Porosity Hair:

1. Rapid Water Absorption: High porosity hair quickly absorbs water due to raised or damaged cuticles, which can lead to excessive frizz and tangling when wet.

2. Moisture Loss: High porosity hair tends to struggle with retaining moisture. The raised cuticles allow moisture to escape easily, leaving the hair feeling dry and prone to breakage.

3. Prone to Damage: The raised cuticles make high porosity hair more vulnerable to damage from external factors such as heat, chemicals, and environmental stressors.

4. Tangles and Frizz: Due to its roughened cuticle structure, high porosity hair often experiences more tangles and frizz.

Tips for Caring for High Porosity Hair:

0. Nurturing High Porosity Hair with Crown Hair Care:

Experience the transformative effects of the "Poroluxe" deep conditioner, specially formulated to replenish moisture, repair damage, and strengthen the hair shaft. Complement your routine with the leave-in conditioner for continuous hydration. Visit crownhaircaregrowth.com to purchase these game-changing products.

2. Leave-In Conditioner: Apply a leave-in conditioner or moisturizer to provide an additional layer of hydration and seal in moisture. Look for products that contain humectants like aloe vera or glycerin to attract and retain moisture.

3. Protein Treatments: Incorporate protein treatments into your hair care routine to strengthen and repair the hair shaft. Protein-based products can help fill in gaps in the cuticle and reduce porosity.

4. Moisturizing Styling Products: Opt for styling products that provide moisture and hydration to the hair, such as creams, gels, or leave-in conditioners. Avoid products that contain drying alcohols as they can further dehydrate the hair.

5. Oil Sealants: After applying moisturizing products, seal in the moisture with a lightweight oil or butter. This helps to minimize moisture loss and reduce frizz.

6. Heat Protection: Always use a heat protectant spray or serum before using heat styling tools to shield high porosity hair from further damage.

7. Gentle Detangling: Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to detangle high porosity hair gently. Start from the ends and work your way up to minimize breakage.

8. Protective Styling: Consider protective hairstyles that help retain moisture and reduce exposure to external elements. Styles like buns, braids, or twists can help protect the hair and reduce damage.

 

Normal Porosity Hair:

Normal porosity hair has a balanced level of moisture retention and absorption. It typically has a healthy shine, manageable texture, and is less prone to damage or extreme dryness. To maintain normal porosity hair, focus on regular cleansing, conditioning, and moisturizing routines. Use products formulated for normal hair types and adapt your routine based on your hair's specific needs.

Remember, porosity can vary within different sections of your hair, so it's important to observe and adjust your hair care routine accordingly. Experiment with different products, techniques, and routines to find what works best for your high porosity or normal porosity hair.
