Knowing our hair porosity is one of the crucial things you should know about your natural hair once you are on this journey. It guides you as to how to moisture your curls. Moisturization is important because you want to keep your curls tangle free and frizz free. In addition, it aids in length retention so you can keep your hair longer, thicker and voluminous as you imagine.
LOW POROSITY HAIR
Low porosity hair doesn't absorb moisture quickly as the cuticle layers are slightly open. So it is hard for the moisture to get into the hair shaft. Once you have successfully moisturized your low porosity hair, maintenance becomes much easier. The tightly closed cuticles will prevent moisture from leaving after following the LOC Method. So you're curls will stay in tip-top condition until your next wash day.
Here is the wash day routine and moisturization steps to follow if you have low porosity hair:
WASH DAY:
Cleanse with the //GET CLARITY!// Hydrating + Grow CLEANSER, 8oz

MEDIUM POROSITY HAIR
Medium porosity hair is in perfect condition. The hair cuticles are slightly opened so that moisture can get in and out. This is normal as you want your hair to be able to absorb as much moisture as possible. And, it will lose the moisture progressively throughout the week to the environment.
There isn't much you should do to change your moisturization routine.

HIGH POROSITY HAIR
High porosity hair is the opposite of low porosity hair. The hair cuticles are always open so moisture gets in quickly as it gets out. So the solution for high porosity hair is to keep the moisture locked in by closing the cuticles. Once it gets locked in, it makes harder for your to susceptible to breakage, knots and tangles.
