Restoring low porosity hair requires patience and consistent care.
Here are 5 recommendations that you want to incorporate into your hair care routine:
1. Clarify regularly: Use clarifying shampoos or apple cider vinegar rinses to remove buildup that may be blocking moisture from penetrating the hair shaft.
2. Deep condition: with lightweight deep conditioners that can penetrate the hair shaft without weighing it down, and use heat (such as a hooded dryer or steamer)
3. Steam treatments: Regularly use steam treatments to gently open the hair cuticle and allow moisture to penetrate more effectively.
4. Use lightweight, water-based products: Choose products specifically formulated for low porosity hair, avoiding heavy oils and butters
5. Incorporate regular moisturizing: Spritzing hair with water-based leave-in conditioners or using a water-based moisturizer daily can help keep low porosity hair hydrated without causing buildup.
