My Porosity/Density Test
What is a Porosity/Density Test?
A Porosity test is a test used to determine how much moisture and water your hair will absorb. Depending on the condition of your hair, the cuticle layer could be open allowing your hair to take it more moisture or tightly closed preventing your hair to take in moisture.
How Do I Determine My Hair's Porosity Level?
There are multiple ways to test your hair's porosity, but the easiest is to conduct a “floating hair test.”
- Get a cup or bowl of water.
2. Take a strand of your hair and Let it sit in the cup/bowel for about 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Observe your hair. If you hair is floating in the water, you have low porosity. If your hair is sinking, you have high porosity.
As you can see from my photos, my hair stayed floating at the top which means that my hair is . .
low porosity
Because my hair is low porosity, I have to either heat my products before application or heat my hair with product on it so that my hair cuticles can open and that way it would be easier for my hair to absorb more moisture.
Now that I am educated on my hair's porosity level, I know what products to use and how to treat my hair!
I encourage you to find out your hair's porosity so that it would be easier to treat!
I hope this will help you & be sure to comment below for any further questions!
