To make sure the test is accurate, ur hair should be freshly washed.<br />Watch it for 2-4 minutes. If your hair sinks immediately, it has high porosity, meaning that the cuticles on the hair shaft are open allowing for water to get in. It it floats, then u have low porosity and ur cuticles are closed down...if it sinks midway...then ur porosity is pretty normal...regarding ur moisture issue, do u seal your hair after u put in ur leave in? leave in conditioners and moisturisers are water based. if u arent sealing ur hair with a butter/oil based product after that, ur hair will dry out. So any butter based product works well to seal. I hope all this helps, feel to ask anything and i will try my best to answer. thanks for reading!!!Nelly B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07685866193253791375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887734978223019314.post-10485288935580534072015-07-08T18:33:31.090-04:002015-07-08T18:33:31.090-04:00How do you find your hair porosity?

Nothing stays in my hair shaft for long and it won't absorb most stuff or if its wet it definitely doesn't absorb product.

There seems to be more emphasis on hair types when most have a combination of curl patterns on their head. It is much more important to know and understand how to care for your hair. For me, once I knew my hair porosity it became easy for me to care for my hair. I no longer had issues with dryness while growth and length retention became effortless.

I think if you must type then do it on dry hair with no product, at least then you can best see how your hair acts in that environment which gives a bigger clue to the products you need than typing on wet hairAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133989587516673810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887734978223019314.post-66659631668575618672015-06-29T10:11:30.934-04:002015-06-29T10:11:30.934-04:00On the claimers I think some who are maybe 4a or 4...On the claimers I think some who are maybe 4a or 4b genuinely don't know but then you have some who are 3b and I have to wonder if they know full well and are just exploiting a type stereotype for entertainment or shock value, like when a white person with straight hair says look at my Afro. Bottom line is all hair is beautiful and manageable (and curl size doesn't tell you what products to use and most times people ask non experts about their curl type then pick the "best" answer which is wrong 9 times out of 10)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133989587516673810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887734978223019314.post-76767655822990577802015-06-29T09:56:46.320-04:002015-06-29T09:56:46.320-04:00It is helpful yes, BUT do not let it be the end al...It is helpful yes, BUT do not let it be the end all when it comes to your care.
