Hair Porosity Guide
Discover Your Hair's Unique Moisture Needs
The Porosity Test
Understand how your hair absorbs and retains moisture
- Begin with a clean strand of dry, product-free hair
- Place it gently into a glass of room-temperature water
- Allow it to rest for 3 minutes without disturbance
Floats? You have Low Porosity — moisture absorption requires assistance
Suspended mid-glass? You're Medium Porosity — optimal moisture balance
Sinks quickly? That's High Porosity — rapid absorption with quick moisture loss

Understanding Hair Porosity
Understanding hair porosity is one of the most valuable steps in your hair care journey. This knowledge can save you time, investment, and frustration, as not all products work effectively for every porosity type. Before selecting any OrganiGrowHairCo products, it's essential to determine your correct hair porosity.
Hair porosity refers to your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. Knowing your porosity type helps you select the optimal methods and products to maintain, style, hydrate, deep condition, and care for your hair.
Hair porosity is categorized into three types: Low, Medium (Normal), and High:
- Low Porosity: The cuticles lie flat and tightly packed, resembling roof shingles, which makes it challenging for water and products to penetrate
- Medium (Normal) Porosity: The cuticles are slightly raised, making this type the easiest to manage and requiring minimal maintenance
- High Porosity: The cuticles are raised and highly porous, allowing moisture and products to enter easily but escape quickly. High porosity is often linked to damage and requires extra care
