5 SIGNS YOU HAVE HIGH POROSITY HAIR

[@HelenaHelena-gl2pc]

I am so comfused the water bowl test said I have low porosity but I have more high porosity signs

[@ashleyzebraprint]

Same here

[@golden22h8]

the water test doesn't work at all 😭. I have high porosity and no matter what the hair floats with the water test. especially if you have type 4 or 3c hair it's always going to float bc our strands are thinner. the water test is not a good test

[@serenity2010sh]

Was your hair clean when you did the test without product in it?

[@serenity2010sh]

@@golden22h8 the best test is to see if your hair likes cold or warm water. If your hair feels more alive and curly when you use warm/hot it can indicate that your hair might be low porosity. This type of hair loves warm water instead of cold.

[@golden22h8]

@@serenity2010sh woww tysm this was great advice!!!

[@vl2809]

The “hair dries quickly” is tricky because it comes with a massive caveat. High porosity hair dries quickly, but ONLY if left to dry without any products. Once youve saturated your hair with leave-ins, oils, curl creams etc. it'll take FOREVER to dry. Im talking like “Hairdrying for 90 minutes and your hair is still wet”-type of Forever.

[@aesira2679]

MEEEEE If I’m taking a shower and I wet my hair I notice that it starts to get dry in some areas extremely fast but when I put product in it afterwards it literally no joke takes almost half the day to dry

[@oliviamerrick9256]

Omg yes yes!!! Because of this, I never understood my porosity. But a stylist just told me I had low porosity. So this is in alignment!

[@freespiritpearl89]

That makes sense.

[@LeenaQurishi]

I have high prosperity hair and I started using JOJOBA OIL and giiirl that sh!t works so good.

[@serenity2010sh]

This is true for all curly hair in general. It's always dry because the natural oils from the scalp cant slide down the hair shaft so it makes it apear dry and frizzy.

Shut up

[@Ami-ml7gp]

I have been hearing about this, but I never heard it explained clearly. This is definitely me 👋🏾.

[@oliviadronfield2894]

That's so beautiful hair and cutky

[@AungAung-]

My hair matches all the signs. Now what?

[@dmanb123]

This looks like my daughter's hair, I'm having such a hard time helping her enjoy the beautiful hair I know is there

[@god563616]

i love the curls!

[@letterr_a]

I am low porosity. Mines dries very quickly with moisturizer.

[@minuit6305]

I have bleached end. My natural growth is low porosity but my end are super high. I have to use two different types of oils! And conditioner!

[@bperez8656]

Mine has EXTREME high porosity

[@freespiritpearl89]

It’s weird because my hair dries sometime slower. My hair hates sulfates. My hair loves glycerin and protein.

[@chunkymonkeyzzz-e6jaa]

i guess my hair is curly now AND I LOVE THAT BECAUSE I ALWAYS WANTED CURLY HAIR AND IM HAPPY

[@Elektra2070]

So what should we do about it? What should we use?

[@ninab1659]

according to the porosity test i have low prosity cause my hair floats, but it dries extremly quick

[@Rosee356]

Relatable. I also did porosity test & it says I have low porosity as my hair floats. But my hair is so dry and the quality of my hair matches with the high porosity. I'm confused

[@hmmmnope2455]

Your hair can be dry and low porosity It just means you guys need a way to get that moisture into your hair instead of it just coating the strands

[@Chickendippedincheese]

FYI that test doesn’t actually work. It’s not true, you should instead take a quiz to find out.

[@ntbored7727]

@@Chickendippedincheese lmao you really just recommended the same BS

[@Chickendippedincheese]

@@ntbored7727 no?? quizzes that are good can actually tell you. they just use deductive reasoning. think before you reply

[@ariellepalmer4473]

I Have every sign except “dries quickly”. My hair can stay wet all day at the root. I am low porosity though I think 🤔

[@meircohen37]

I have all the signs :(

[@theshadetube611]

That does not look high porosity

[@Neesha242]

If she is black it’s high porosity and if she’s mixed it’s probably medium porosity

​@Neesha242 I'm 100% White and have naturally high porosity hair. Some things are determined/influenced by Race, but this isn't one of those things.

[@RedAmalgam2000]

Can it be fixed?

[@ElegantRose2720]

I know I have high porosity but my hair takes forever to dry bc I have a lot of hair…may this has levels?

[@aesira2679]

If you put product in it it’ll take longer to dry

[@emilyschomer6715]

Water bowl test said high porosity, but I only have maybe 3 signs

[@denises9680]

So what can we do about it!!?

[@nancyrat3858]

Help please, my hair takes like 3 and a half hours to dry entirely, and it's quite frizzy in the drying process. however, after it's dry, it becomes kind of like silky smooth. I don't use heat on it either

[@nishasharma4469]

I have both signs of low porosity hair and high porosity (except some) what do I do!?!! 😭

[@Updog89]

What if my 2A-2B hair is smooth and shiny and not dry, is medium ish at absorbing products, and dries quickly?

[@mengimelisa]

Please someone help me im 24 still couldnt figure out which one i am my hairs extremely dry even when i style it with gels for 24 hours it feels a bit moustiruzed but then i sleep and boom my hairs so frizzy shine all gone also my strands are so thick 3a 3b 3c mixed curls the back of my hair is not so defined and always look frizzy and the elasticity is not much also my hair takes forever to get wet in shower even 30 mins rinsing with water i still feel theres some dryness in my hair when i put conditioner it feels hydrated 3-4 mins and then when i rinse it feels dried out again i have to put some conditioner before i get out of shower or it feels like so dry and dehydrated … Please someone with knowledge help me which one i am which products are right for me😢😢😢😢

[@evasuaro8724]

i relate to everything you're saying here😭😭 if anyone has advice for this type of hair behaviour it would be highly appreciated, it looks like no matter what i try for my hair i keep having all these problems, i don't think i've ever seen the back of my head with defined and/or hydrated curls🥴🥴

You don’t have nappy hair love. You have coily hair. We as black people have to unlearn some of these negative words people have attached to our hair. Your hair is beautiful, black hair is beautiful and so are you. Hope you have an amazing day 💕
