Why Low Porosity Hair Takes So Long To Dry The ideal drying process - along with the products you use on your hair - varies depending on your hair’s texture, and the more you know, the better you’ll be able to avoid damage and keep your locks looking hydrated (without increasing drying time). High porosity hair, on the other hand, is quick to absorb moisture - and quick to lose it, too. “If your hair has low porosity, that means that you have smaller cuticles and that it moisture,” Ashley Streicher, a celebrity hair stylist for Mandy Moore and Sarah Paulson (and R+Co’s newest Collective member), tells TZR. In case you don't know, porosity is the hair’s ability to absorb and retain water, and it's defined by the state of the hair cuticle. It only took a few product swaps - and some expert advice - to cut my dry time in half. I always assumed this was why my hair takes forever to dry, too - but recently, I learned that I actually have low-porosity hair, which makes strands more likely to hold onto water. Thick enough that hair stylists, colorists, and blow dry bar stylists tend to cringe when I sit down in their chairs, resigned to the fact that the appointment will probably take twice as long as usual. And, if your hair is colored, lock your shade down for longer with INVIGO Color Brilliance Vibrant Color Conditioner perfect for boosting the radiance of every hue.My hair is really thick. Do you have waves or curls? Then reap the rewards of the NutriCurls Deep Treatment for Waves & Curls and the Detangling Conditioner, which both work to gently eke out knots and offer frizz-defying definition. Smooth it through damp, just-washed locks, allow it to absorb for five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. However, because your strands don’t require the same level of deep hydration as highly porous hair, you can choose masks that will target other needs, such as a lack of volume or color maintenance.įor fine hair, try the INVIGO Volume Boost Crystal Mask a translucent rinse-out treatment that feels utterly weightless. This prevents any gaps in the cuticle from beginning to form. You still need to use hair masks and conditioners to detangle your hair, and to keep it strong and healthy. This prescriptive approach means your locks will always feel beautifully balanced.
Switch between your two formulas, depending on what your hair is craving that day. Then, alternate with a more targeted formula that tends to your other hair needs, such as INVIGO Volume Boost Bodifying Shampoo on fine hair or INVIGO Senso Calm Sensitive Shampoo to soothe an irritable scalp. We love Nutri-Enrich Deep Nourishing Shampoo for straight hair, and NutriCurls Micellar Shampoo for wavy or curly hair. To make low porosity hair last, use a hydrating shampoo that cares for your strands. It injects your highly porous hair with shine you can feel. If it’s just the glow you’re hoping for, you can also opt for a clear Shinefinity Zero Lift Glaze. Try it with a Shinefinity Zero Lift Glaze, which gives you zero damage color enhancement – ideal if you’re craving color but don’t want to put strands through any wear and tear. Book in for a Hair GlazeĪs well as veiling your hair in a subtle color boost with mirror-like shine, a hair glaze can help to fill the holes and gaps in the cuticle.
Then, if hair is feeling dehydrated, top it up on dry hair in between washes. Apply your chosen lotion through damp, just-washed hair first. Instead of applying rinse-out conditioners – or as well as, when hair is particularly parched – use a leave-in conditioner, like INVIGO Miracle BB Spray or NutriCurls Curlixir Defining Balm. In the same way that gaps through the cuticle can allow too much moisture to get in, they can also let it out, leaving hair dry and thirsty for a dose of hydration. What is Hair Glossing?
