Understanding Your Hair Porosity & How Our Hair Oil Can Help Your Hair Needs
Our revitalizing organic hair oil is highly versatile and can be used in many different ways on all hair types and textures. How you use it is determined by your specific hair needs and texture. Some hair textures may need more and some textures may need less depending on usage. You must consider your hair porosity (which is your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture). There are different levels of porosity and can range from low, medium, and high.
For hair that has low porosity (cuticles of hair are resistant to opening for any forms of moisture and feels like products sit on the hair) You would benefit greatly from a hot oil treatment or a pre-shampoo treatment. By dampening the hair slightly and applying our oil and wrapping hair with a warm towel for 20 minutes it will allow the cuticles to open and absorb the nutrients from our oil.
For hair that has high porosity (hair cuticles are usually raised and absorbs moisture quickly, however, they often remain raised; which can cause tangling and damage). This can often occur due to frequent chemical exposure such as bleach, dyes, heat, and shampoos that often strip hair; even environmental exposure can cause this. How to use: Our hair oil helps to seal highly porous hair, you can use it within the LCO method (use after applying your leave-in and gel) you can add it to your favorite conditioner and deep conditioner as well during your wash process.
To determine your hair porosity here is a helpful resource.
