– High porosity hair needs oils that can deeply moisturize and help seal in hydration. – Best Oils: Coconut oil, Castor oil, Olive oil. – Why: These oils coat the hair, sealing in moisture and protecting it from breakage.
– With balanced absorption, medium porosity hair can handle a variety of oils. – Best Oils: Jojoba oil, Olive oil, Avocado oil. – Why: These oils help lock in moisture and give hair a smooth texture, perfect for keeping frizz at bay.
– Low porosity hair struggles to absorb moisture, so choose oils that are light and don’t sit on the surface. – Best Oils: Argan oil, Grapeseed oil, Sweet Almond oil. – Why: These oils are easily absorbed and won’t weigh down your hair, giving it a soft, shiny look without the grease.
For a balanced approach, blend lighter and heavier oils for a customized treatment. This works wonders for hair that’s in between porosity levels or needs a little extra boost.
– Low Porosity: Warm the oil slightly for better absorption. – Medium Porosity: Apply to damp hair to lock in moisture. – High Porosity: Layer oil over a leave-in conditioner for extra hydration.
