Porosity is the key to proper hair care. Women, who devote more time to their hair, probably know it full well. If you aren’t one of these women, we explain why hair porosity is worth knowing. If you have low porosity hair, there are some hair oils that are unsuitable for you.
Hair porosity determines how raised hair cuticles are. If hair cuticles are very stiff and irregular, your hair is in very poor condition. You’re lucky if your hair cuticles are tightly bound together and don’t like to raise.

Avoiding products with high amount of proteins is the most important. Such products cause dryness and brittleness in hair with closed cuticles. Oiling treatment is surely the best remedy for low porosity hair. Natural plant oils provide the richest nourishment and are the most delicate. They can bring lots of benefits if you choose the ones suitable for your hair porosity. What is most important, oils give long-lasting effects.
