High Porosity
Porosity is the level of ease by which hair tends to absorb moisture and chemicals. You may
have noticed that after oiling some parts of your hair become dry quickly as compared to
other areas which may still be moist or wet. This means the damaged hair are more porous
or quick absorber than healthy hair. Applying chemicals regularly such as straighteners, hair
gels, colors, etc. makes hair more porous.
Apart from undergoing conditioning and protein treatments, you need to reduce the usage
or totally eliminate chemicals, dyes and styling products for some time.
