Low Porosity Hair - Embracing the Smooth Operator

 

Ahoy there, AfroDeities! Now that you've uncovered the mysteries of your hair's porosity and determined it's a smooth operator, let's dive into the fascinating world of low porosity hair. Think of it as unlocking a treasure chest of knowledge to keep those locks looking luscious and hydrated.

Characteristics of Low Porosity Hair:

Low porosity hair is like the cool cat lounging in the shade. It's a bit particular about letting moisture in, thanks to its tightly packed cuticle scales. But fear not, dear reader, because understanding is the first step to glorious hair days.

Hydration Hacks for Low Porosity Hair:

    1. Warm it Up:

• Start your hair routine with warm water to help open up those cuticles just a smidge. Think of it as an invitation for moisture to come on in.

    2. Lightweight Moisturisers:

• Low porosity hair doesn't need heavy-duty products; it prefers lighter, water-based moisturisers that won't weigh it down.

    3. Steamy Showers and Deep Conditioning:

• Treat your hair to a steamy shower and indulge in deep conditioning sessions. The warmth opens those cuticles, allowing all that goodness to seep in

    4. Clarifying Shampoos:

• Every now and then, use a clarifying shampoo to remove any product buildup. It keeps the path clear for moisture to make its way into your strands.

    5. LCO or LOC Method:

• Lock in that moisture! Consider using the LCO (Liquid, Cream, Oil) or LOC (Liquid, Oil, Cream) method to seal in hydration.

Product Recommendations for Low Porosity Hair:

    1. Leave-In Conditioners:

• Opt for leave-in conditioners that are lightweight yet effective, providing the right amount of moisture without overwhelming your locks.
  

    2. Hydrating Mists:

• Keep hydrating mists on hand for a quick pick-me-up during the day. Your hair will thank you for the instant burst of moisture.

     3. Protein Treatments:

• Treat your hair to protein treatments occasionally to strengthen those cuticles and keep your strands resilient.

Low porosity hair may be a bit selective, but armed with the right knowledge and care, you'll have those locks looking sleek, shiny, and absolutely fabulous. Get ready to embrace the smooth operator in you and let the hair-adventure continue! 🌟💆‍♀️
