How To Moisturize Low Porosity Hair

Low porosity hair is a struggle for a number of reasons. If you’re a fellow sufferer, you may be thinking about a quality wig or keeping your hair pinned up. One of the key issues people with low porosity hair go through is trouble keeping it moisturized.

In this article, I’m going to tell you how to moisturize low porosity hair.

What Is Low Porosity Hair?

Low porosity hair means that your follicles take a longer time to absorb water. When you wet your hair, it may seem like the water beads up or sits on top of the hair without being absorbed.

Hair products also tend to sit on top of your hair rather than be absorbed into it. This can make the hair feel heavy or greasy if too much product is applied.

Now let’s look at the best ways to moisturize hair with low porosity:

Regardless of the method chosen, it’s crucial to prioritize hair health and minimize heat damage. Make sure to use a heat protectant product before applying heat, avoid excessive heat exposure, and regularly deep condition and moisturize your hair to maintain its health and minimize breakage.

Final Word

No matter what awesome hairstyle you choose, if your hair has low porosity, it’s not going to act like you need it to.

Low porosity hair tends to be more resistant to chemical treatments like coloring or perming. The tightly closed cuticles make it challenging for chemicals to penetrate the hair shaft. Moisturizing your hair with products that work can make all the difference.
