Struggling to find a cure for your overly dry and frizzy hair? This could be the result of the high porosity of your hair. Highly porous hair tends to lose moisture to air very quickly, leaving it in a dull and tangled mess!
There can be many factors that add to the high porosity of hair — genetics (naturally curly hair), colour treatments, heat treatments and over-processing of hair. All of these factors leave hair cuticles — the outermost layer of hair fibre — open and rough. So, even though you might be giving your mane all the hydration it needs, it fails to retain it. Having said that, there are ways to care for high porosity hair to keep the dryness away. Check them out…
- 01. Trim it!
- 02. Use products that help seal in moisture
- 03. Go for regular protein treatments
- 04. Use products formulated for damaged hair
- 05. Be gentle to your hair
