High Porosity Hair

High Porosity Hair

The hair cuticles of high porosity hair contain gaps and tears. Therefore the hair absorbs moisture and products but it doesn't hold on to the moisture nor the product. Harsh chemicals, dye, bleach, high heat, or harsh shampoos strip the hair hydro-lipid layer, in other words, the essential fatty acids necessary to keep your hair healthy and thick. When this layer is removed the cuticles are aggressively raised, the strands catch onto each and become easily tangled.  The hair looks lifeless and thin.
