How Are You Choosing Hair Products Without This Knowledge? | Hair Porosity 101

Please allow me to show you something I don't know to me. I don't think that fake B, sha sha tsui society here porosity hello, welcome back to this channel, and today I will be talking to you about hair porosity and why it's the most important thing you need to know before buying products. We are here to start a hair journey or your hair hmmm. What I'll be covering any video is what is hair porosity in the first place, the categories appear porosity characteristics of the different types of hair porosity and how you can test your hair porosity. So, if you're interested in buying the correct products for your hair continue watching, so what is here capacity is basically the ability or the porosity over here determines how your hair will absorb and retain moisture. Why is no in this important? Well, yayin leave-in conditioners moisturizers deep conditioner, so you can look healthy, have some moisture at night. So if you know how your hair reacts or I here would I'm so much about it, but they're not expend any monies of my products. Why not notice important think, depending on your hair, porosity its what affects how your hair allows oils and moisture it's a pass through the outer layer here, because you have it also lay over here, which is the cuticle, and then you have, which has been a public Protein and then you have the softer and by parts Lee over here, which means the moisture of it to be healthy. Okay. So now we have an understanding of what is here porosity and try not touching on why it is important. So now what are the types of your porosity? You have high porosity, medium porosity and low porosity, okay, so image somewhere over here, where you can see the what the heck it's a girl, that's like, depending on here porosity. So you have low porosity where the kids are. Girls are close together, accidental one of the text that you can do, which is much really comin right, if you think is tryna, be here and pass your finger down if it feels smooth its together. So it will feel smooth if it feels rough, it's more than likely like high porosity here, because the kisser girls are far apart. Okay, so no porosity here it cuticles are closer together for medium porosity here, the last tightly ball, so they have some space. The next and then you have high porosity here where the cuticles are widely spaced. So why is knowing your hair, porosity and quad for the products that you choose for your haircare regimen? Of course you need your hair to be healthy. As I said, that's why I was here: that's why I spent the money at the beauty supply a penny wise, a Target and Walmart at Walgreens, because you want to look nice and be happy if you cuticles are too close together, it's hard for water and oils. The penetrate you are here, so it's not gon na get through the ultimate day over here to get Ltd here to provide the duration as it needs. So it's gon na be hard for here here to get moisture efficacy. Girls are two widely spaced. While you can't let moisture - and here is able to absorb moisture, it's going to have a harder time retain any moisture as dehydrated, so adding two ends of the spectrum. It'S kind of difficult, so persons with low porosity here and persons with high porosity here so medium is kind of like what people were the ones or if you have medium porosity here, like you put your hair care, regimen totally easy and you know having a hard Time gets a product so now we know what is care porosity. Is there something and courses in here to have a certain level of or customer for, themself a secular category of processes? Well, in most instances, the porosity over here could be genetics, so the low porosity here high porosity here middle process. Here it can be based on genetics. However, if you have low porosity, hair or medium porosity here, the porosity over here could change due to chemical or heat damage. So we know what is here porosity. We know the type of your porosity, but how come it's hell? What is our here porosity type, so there are three tests, but you can do to test. Your hair. Porosity, however, is one which is the most important and the easiest one to me to determining a porosity. So the well there's one that's easy, but it wouldn't necessarily be what tell you. What is your process here for anyway? So the first test is, you can taste a strap over here or just hold on sunshine over here passing finger here? Okay, so if it feels smooth, it would be. You have low porosity here, because the cuticles are closely packed together. So it's basically having a smooth finish. Okay, and if you have high porosity here, it's will feel rough because the cuticle wider apart there would be some texture okay, so it will feel rough okay, so, as you face size sample size, the next test is when you let the next time, you're washing here, How long does it takes? I guess, wet if it takes a really long time before it's fully thoughts or drenched with water. You have low porosity here because I think Lynne's low, porosity hair. It takes a longer time to be here to absorb moisture. Okay. So a characteristic is that you would see product tends to sit on in here and what sits on your here. I took a picture. Well, I will take a picture of how the water just arrived. Funny hair looks like little beads of water just on here. Okay and if you're here gets wet in a short space of time, completely change and water. You have high porosity hair because your hair absorbs moisture easily now for me, why? I don't think that somebody best, because it's a relative, what you don't know is this: what it's relative to, if my hair is the custom sake and five eight minutes to get completely wet, is that something that it's just one of my customs just to me that It'S probably in normal amounts of time, and he thinks I got wet it's not until someone probably with high porosity hair, said yeah. I just take two minutes on my hands. I got completely wet, then you would know hey when my hair is taken a longer time to get wet, so that's kind of subjective right and then it text that I would recommend for you to determine your hair porosity is the water test. So what you would do is you take a strand of your clean hair and it's recommended that to take it from different sections over here. I don't recommend continue here or cut around P stay here. Forget it because when you wash you here, you know your hair sheds, so you when I got some of those strands anyway, so clean strong, core strands of hair and you put that into some water, so got a clear glass. So you could be able to see back up and you put them out here in the water. What you're going to do is observe three to five minutes: what happens to the strand of hair if this kind of hair floats sits above the water? It'S an indication of low porosity here, meaning here doesn't absorb water easily or as my shiny thing easily, so it remains floatin, sorry top of the water. If you have medium porosity here, it drops, it doesn't stay to the top of the water, but it's just going to be submerged in water, chillin dangling there any military water right and if you have high porosity here, you here will think so. The bottom of the water someplace turns dependent because remember it's a broad spectrum. So while you may have low porosity here it has a spectrum one in low porosity here I can't get into that for you, but it's there. So if you have high porosity here, it means think immediately or it may take some time. Anyone knows that sink in yeah. So that's you know: water tries to determine your hair porosity. So I will insert a clip with me. My hair porosity user mean what are my third see if, because the last time I did a test, I had a low porosity. Yes, so we'll see, if your girl, so for some so that we low porosity hair category and the products you would use to care for your hair prostitute item, so I could do another video for the products that I use. I would like to adjust my hair care journey or regimen or whatever you want support it, but if you have low porosity here again it's difficult for your hair to absorb moisture. Therefore you have to take some extra steps and precautions very here to absorb that moisture. So for one you would want to stay away from conditioners with protein, ok or if you're, using protein or if the product has protein, look at the ingredients and look for hydrolyzed proteins. We want products with hydrolyzed protein because I know it happens to me. Everyone was raving about the auras here. Yeah I need to buy back. My hair would be for healthy little. It did not work for my hair color, because you're here already has unless of course, because absolutely kids at others meet up. Oh so, when you put more protein, it just becomes a bit more brittle and like generai, like I don't know it's in last week, I still have the bottle there, because literally I only use it want that hair did not work for me, cuz. That is a protein heavy treatment, still low porosity here protein no Matt, you will want so you sound like oil-free products. If you are using oil-based products, it should be a light oil and apply heat when deep conditioned area here. So what I do I would just position woke up and cover. My here was a solo. Do something else, a 45-minute the place hot yeah here will be generated from heat, so I got some heat absorb some of the moisture and goodness at you once I get from any products, no so high porosity. Here you would want to focus on butters and oils in your shampoos and conditioners, because with high porosity here yet well, he could get moisture. It doesn't retain moisture. So I guess an example with high porosity here that you used a leave-in conditioner using oil moisturizer by what, like you know, it's an o'clock. I look like a hair dry and you want to know why. It'S because I here is not absorbent well holding on origin and dementia avoid using warm water and shampoo and conditioner, because they heard kids of those are already open. They can absorb the moisture so the more open they are. It just opens up more and I'm not gon na retain it, but I want to retain at school what I guess look warm so anyway here or how support of tested their porosity fair here. So you have a better time. Choose the products because I before it's only shoes on your products of it, not easy. So if you learn something when I click the like button, Oh subscribe to my neighbors, don't want me to be great. Like was a chocolate Visayan! Oh you tell mrs. right. So you think this is right.
