I started stressing over porosity when I began to transition to grey. I was low porosity but everyone kept saying that grey hair becomes more porous, which I couldn't understand since I never colored or chemically treated my hair. With all the confusion about caring for grey hair I was ready to throw in the towel and go back to relaxer. It's funny how going grey is inevitable but no one knows how it affects the porosity.
@kieshaarielle 8 ай бұрын
Damaged hair or hair that has been colour treated i.e. use of permanent dyes or even bleaching the hair etc. causes the hair to become that of a high porosity. Additionally, high porosity hair tend to lose moisture rather quickly due to the damage cuticles. So although they can absorb moisture quickly, it also loses moisture quickly leaving the hair dry and brittle thus easy to break. I always enjoy your content. Keep them coming 😊
@denyshadials5702 8 ай бұрын
When neither of the suggested porosity regimens were appropriate for my hair, I had my suspicions. When I treated my hair as if it were normal porosity, had zero issues. After that I started noticing all the contradictions in everyone’s videos.

This may be what I need to look at. My hair doesn't respond well to High and low porosity regimens. Although the hair in the glass has never shown me anything more than low porosity. Even if I spray my hair it seems to just run off my hair. So I may just be normal porosity.

My hair porosity started to improve over the course of this year when wore it out for longer periods and was consistent with my regimen. Also drastic improvements with Ayurvedic treatments (aloe Vera powder in my deep conditioner). And tea rinses. I want to say that the water in a glass experiment does not work but I knew that my hair used to dry up before I could finish drying off my body. Now it stays dripping wet for about an hour before it starts to dry out with no product. Game changer!

funny you posted this, finally started getting help from a hair stylist during my consultation with her at the beginning she was sure that my hair was high porosity, hell, she would have died on a hill with that information. Within 2 weeks my porosity "looked" high porosity, but acted normal, so we just went to the very basics and treated my hair as normal as possible... it seems to be thriving... I think

The purpose of the medulla layer is still a mystery so, its hard to find information about this. Its hardly really talked about, at least publicly, in the science world. But, the medulla is the only layer in hair that houses living cells. The other two layers (cuticles & cortex) only have non-living keratinized epithelial cells. The only hair type that has the medulla layer is course hair. Research on hair tends to be very "one sided" so, hair is often described as dead fibers but, thats not the case for course hair types. Here some mentions of it: www.hairknowhow.com/know-your-hair-structure laurakcollins.com/3-categories-that-determine-hair-type/ itsa10haircare.com/blogs/hair-guides/coarse-hair-guide#:~:text=Unlike%20thin%20or%20medium%20hair,a%20strand%20between%20your%20fingers.
