Do you know your porosity?

Knowing your porosity will help you understand the products and combinations that maximize your hair's hydration while minimizing the steps involved in your hair routine.

The level of hair porosity, ie its ability to absorb and retain moisture, is determined by the shape of the cuticles that make up the hair. Hair porosity can be: low, normal or high. The porosity of your hair can change over time, the care you give it, as well as the external environment can make you vary the level of porosity of your hair either by improving it or by deteriorating it. Be particularly alert if your porosity is high, as this is often synonymous with damaged and damaged hair.
