A Simple Experiment You Can Do To Find Your Hair Type

Do you struggle to care for your hair and find the right products? Here's a simple experiment you can do to find your hair type. ⬇
It's called the bowl test:
1. Get out a large bowl and fill it with water
2. Pluck 3-4 hairs from your head and put them in the water
3. Leave it for 5 minutes and then come back and check on it.
If your hair is floating on top of the water you have low porosity hair.
If your hair is floating in the middle of the water you have medium porosity hair.
If your hair is at the bottom of the bowl you have high porosity hair.
In my next two videos, I'll show you exactly how you can take care of your specific hair type. So you can finally find the right products for your hair.

Might be you having a change in your hair, with mine I've noticed I have some very thick hairs and some being much thinner. Since I experienced a little hair loss due to a medical condition, I assume the thick hairs are the old ones and the thinner ones being newer? I'd recommend testing more of your hairs over multiple days to see which ones are more commen, the ones floating or the ones sinking

This can be useful but should be done on clean hair with no product otherwise product can prevent moisture from entering the strands causing it to float. Also pull the strands from different areas because you can have more than one porosity. For instance the crown can be low porosity while the perimeter is high to medium porosity

@purity4all Жыл бұрын

High porosity has air trapped in the raised cuticles, causing it to be more buoyant and therefore float, so it’s not the low porosity hair that floats, it’s the high porosity. This was proven by a scientist.
