What Is Low-Porosity Hair?

Hair porosity is determined by how open or closed your hair cuticles are, and how porous they are. Having low porosity hair means that the hair cuticles are tightly closed, so its ability to absorb and retain moisture is minimal. Low porosity hair doesn't necessarily mean that you have dry hair, however, it does mean that regular products tend to sit on the surface of the hair, rather than penetrating into the hair.


Some characteristics of low-porosity hair include:

  • - Leave-in and styling products don't absorb into the follicles as easily, which leads to product build-up.
  • - Product build-up weighs the hair down, sometimes giving it a greasy appearance.
  • - Difficulty achieving volume due to weighed-down hair.
  • - Hair takes a long time to get wet or dry.
  • - Hair is super resistant to dye and colouring.

Frequently Asked Question

The best way to know whether you have low porosity hair is based on how quickly (or slowly) your hair dries. If your hair takes hours and hours to dry fully or takes ages to diffuse, it is probably low porosity. Low porosity hair does not take in water easily and it doesn’t give it up easily either! Other signs include product build-up, water or product beading on the hair, and resistance to hair dye.

Lightweight ingredients like aloe vera, honey, glycerin, and hydrolyzed proteins work best for low porosity hair. Avoid heavy oils and butters that can sit on the hair rather than absorbing unless your hair is particularly dry and you are using heavy moisturizers.

Since low porosity hair tends to accumulate product build-up, clarifying every 2-4 weeks with a gentle clarifying shampoo can help keep your curls fresh and bouncy.

Yes! Using warm water when washing your hair and applying deep conditioners with heat (like a steamer or heat cap or even just a shower cap to trap in the heat from your body) can help open the cuticle and allow better absorption of moisture.
