Hair Porosity Test and Hair Type Test

Hello everyone, It's time for you to know how to know your hair porosity and hair type

There are certain things we can do to determine both of these things and in this post, I will be explaining them thoroughly!

First to know your hair type, You can take the hair type chart image below and wet your hair and brush through it. After that then you take one strand and look at how it looks to see the way it is according to this chart below:

That is how you will know your hair type!

Now for your hair porosity:

Hair porosity is how much your hair can absorb and hold moisture, but its so important to know your hair type before hair porosity because they have a certain relationship to help you know the needs of your hair! 

To know your hair porosity, when you are brushing or combing your hair and a strand comes out as its normal for hair to come out of our head. Once you have the strand take a cup of water and leave it in for around 1-3 minutes and see whether it is:

Floating - Low Porosity

Sinking slowly or stays in the middle - Normal/Medium Porosity

Completely sinks - High porosity

I encourage you to take these test to understand more about hair and which products can help you!

Ps. For those with locs, We will be talking about that soon but tomorrows topic is what is type 1 hair so be prepared!
