Hello lovely AfroDeities,
Alright, beautiful souls, now that we've set the stage and built the anticipation, it's time for the thrilling part of our journey—figuring out your hair's porosity! Think of this as your hair's grand self-discovery adventure, where you become the detective unlocking the secrets to a healthier, happier mane.
1. The Float Test:
Our first stop on this adventure is the float test. Picture it: a relaxing bath for your strands. Simply take a strand of clean hair and drop it into a bowl of water. Now, observe. Does it float on the surface, chilling like a poolside sunbather? Congratulations, you might have low porosity hair. Does it sink after a while, like it's diving into a deep-sea exploration? High porosity might be your hair's thing. And if it hangs out somewhere in between, you're in the medium porosity club.
2. The Slip 'n' Slide Test:
Next up is the slip 'n' slide test. Get ready to feel the texture of your hair. Run a strand of hair between your fingers. If it feels smooth, like sliding on ice, it could be low porosity. If it feels a bit bumpy, medium porosity might be your vibe. And if it feels rough, like catching on tiny bumps, high porosity might be the star of the show.
3. The Absorption Test:
Now, let's move on to the absorption test. This one involves observing how quickly your hair takes in moisture. Spritz some water on a small section of your hair and watch what happens. If it beads up and takes its sweet time absorbing, you might be looking at low porosity. If it soaks up the water almost immediately, high porosity could be in the cards. And if it absorbs gradually, giving you a bit of a Goldilocks vibe, hello, medium porosity!
4. The Product Experiment:
Last but not least, it's time for the product experiment. Try applying a leave-in conditioner or styling product to a small section of your hair. Notice how your hair responds. If it seems to sit on the surface, low porosity may be the answer. If it soaks it up like a sponge, high porosity could be the star of the show. And if it absorbs with a balance of enthusiasm and moderation, medium porosity might be your hair's sweet spot.
Armed with the results of these fun and easy tests, you're well on your way to understanding your hair's porosity level. So, go ahead, enjoy this playful exploration, and get ready to tailor your hair care routine to meet your hair's unique needs. Your hair is a masterpiece, and it's time to treat it like one! 🚀💁♀️
