What is Hair Porosity?

Hair Porosity is a term used for how effective your hair is at absorbing and keeping moisture. Simply Low porosity hair is harder to keep and stay moisturized. If you have high porosity hair, it means that water, oils, and other types of products can be easily absorbed by your hair.

Hair Porosity Test

Simply immerse a clean, unprocessed loose hair strand in a glass of water. The hair has low porosity if it floats at the top, medium or normal porosity if it sinks slowly or settles in the middle, and high porosity if it sinks straight to the bottom.

How to do a Hot oil hair Treatment

1. Wash your hair with a natural shampoo to start.
2. Once the hair has been washed, add up to six tablespoons of your chosen oil to a bowl and heat in the microwave. Or use the double boiler method. Alternatively, add the oil to a bowl and place over a pot of water. DO NOT APPLY HOT OIL ON YOUR SCALP!
3. The last thing you want to do is scald your scalp by applying too hot oil. Apply a small amount of oil to the inside of your wrist first to test the temperature. Protect your clothes by placing a towel over your shoulder.
4. Next, apply the oil to the hair and massage the scalp gently. Apply the formula as evenly as possible and make sure it reaches the dryest ends.
5. Depending on how dry your hair is or how much help you think it needs, let the oil sit on the hair under a shower cap for approximately 30 minutes. You can also leave it on overnight for a deeply nourishing treatment.
6. Once you’re ready to remove the oil, use cool water to make sure it’s thoroughly washed out. Use Conditioner as usual.
7. You can do this treatment once a week or even up to three times a week, depending on time and your hair.
