Caring for natural hair that is high porosity and curly/coily can feel like a challenge. It feels like no matter what you do, your hair is always dry. If this sounds like you, then you are in the right place!
What is high porosity?
High porosity hair is usually characterized by having raised cuticles, typically from some type of damage. It can be from over manipulation, coloring, or some other way. When you have high porosity hair, your hair absorbs water quickly, and because the cuticles stay raised, it will lose moisture quickly as well.
You want to make sure you are using moisturizing cleansers and conditioners for your hair.
