Moisture That Gets In and Stays In

Low-porosity hair has closed cuticles that make it difficult for moisture to penetrate. We formulate our products with water-based ingredients, herbal extracts, and essential oils that are similar to the natural oils our scalp produces. These ingredients provide moisture to the cuticle.

You can use it weekly with a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup and reset your strands, allowing conditioners and treatments to work effectively.

Types of Hair Products for Low Porosity Hair

We’ve built our collection around what low-porosity hair needs. Not just hydration, but smart hydration.

Clarifying Shampoo for Low Porosity Hair

Our clarifying shampoo removes stubborn residue and buildup, helping your hair “reset” and prepare for moisturization. Use it once a week to keep strands fresh and ready to absorb treatment.

Low Porosity Shampoo & Conditioner Sets

Our shampoo and conditioner for low-porosity hair work together to cleanse and hydrate. With no protein and no heavy fillers, they maintain softness and shine without heaviness.

Leave-In Conditioners For Low Porosity Hair

Water-based and lightweight, our leave-in products instantly hydrate your hair without leaving any residue. They’re perfect for daily use or midweek moisture boosts.

Hydrating Serums & Oils For Low Porosity Hair

Seal in moisture with nutrient-dense oils that mimic the scalp’s sebum. These are ideal for locking in hydration without greasiness or buildup.

How to Hydrate Low-Porosity Hair Effectively

When hydrating low-porosity hair, use the right product in the right way:

• Use Warm Water or Steam: Heat opens the cuticle slightly, allowing moisture to enter.
• Apply Products on Damp Hair: Wet strands help spread product evenly and increase absorption.
• Apply Product From Lightest to Heaviest: Start with water-based products and finish with a sealing oil.
• Shampoo Regularly: Buildup prevents hydration, so cleansing your hair with a clarifying shampoo is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind of Products Are Best for Low Porosity Hair?

Choose water-based and lightweight products that hydrate the hair without coating it. Don’t use protein-heavy or silicone-rich formulas. Our clarifying shampoo for low-porosity hair and protein-free conditioner are examples of such products.

How Do I Hydrate Low Porosity Hair?

You hydrate low-porosity hair by washing it with warm water. This opens up the hair cuticle. Use humectants like glycerin and aloe vera, then oils to seal in moisture. Condition your hair and avoid heavy products.

What’s Not Good for Low Porosity Hair?

Thick butter, waxes, and heavy oils like coconut oil are bad for low-porosity hair because they can coat strands and prevent moisture from penetrating. Excess protein and silicones are also not good as they can lead to dryness and buildup.

Is Rice Water Good for Low Porosity Hair?

Rice water is often too protein-rich for low porosity hair, which already struggles to absorb moisture and protein. Using it can lead to stiff, dry strands or even breakage. If you're trying to grow your hair or improve texture, skip the rice water and opt for protein-free, deeply hydrating products made specifically for low porosity curls, like our moisture milk or leave-in conditioner that nourishes without overloading your strands.

Is Shea Butter Good for Low Porosity Hair?

Shea butter is not the best choice for low porosity hair. While it can seal in moisture, it's a very heavy butter that often sits on top of the hair shaft, causing buildup and blocking moisture from entering. If you have low porosity hair, reach for lightweight sealants like mango butter or sweet almond oil that hydrate without weighing your curls down. Our formulas are designed with these low porosity-friendly ingredients in mind.
