When it comes to achieving soft, hydrated, and manageable hair, knowing your hair porosity is just as important as knowing your hair type. Hair porosity refers to your hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture — and it affects how your hair responds to products, humidity, and treatments.
There are three main types of hair porosity:
-
Low porosity (cuticles are tightly closed)
-
Medium porosity (cuticles are slightly open – balanced)
-
High porosity (cuticles are wide open – more prone to dryness and breakage)
How to Determine Your Hair Porosity
A simple way to check your hair porosity is the Float Test:
-
Take a clean strand of dry hair.
-
Drop it into a glass of water.
-
Wait 2–4 minutes.
-
Floats: You likely have low porosity hair.
-
Sinks slowly: You probably have medium porosity hair.
-
Sinks quickly: You’re dealing with high porosity hair.
