High Porosity Full Guide

High-porosity hair has raised or damaged cuticles that allow moisture to enter easily but also let it escape very quickly. This is especially common in hair affected by bleaching, colouring, chemical treatments, frequent heat or breakage.

Your hair doesn’t simply need more oil. It needs moisture in the correct order, followed by protection that helps it stay inside the hair for longer.

Inside the guide, you’ll discover:

• What high porosity means and why your hair loses moisture so quickly
• How damage, colouring, bleaching and heat can affect the hair cuticle
• How to add water-based moisture before using oil to protect it
• The complete pre-poo, wash-day and between-wash technique
• How to adapt the routine for hair loss, oily roots, dry ends, dandruff, severe dryness and frizz
• The best vegetable oils for porous, dry or damaged hair
• Which essential oils to choose for different scalp concerns
• The most suitable herbal infusions for dry, fragile and frizzy lengths
• Exact quantities, application instructions and treatment times
• Gentler guidance for bleached, chemically treated or breaking hair
• How to use baking soda and apple cider vinegar with additional caution
• How to reduce moisture loss, friction, tangling and unnecessary breakage
• Practical safety guidance and signs that require professional care

This guide gives you a clear routine without turning hair care into a full-time job. You’ll learn how to moisturise first, protect second and adjust the richness of your treatments according to your hair’s texture and condition.

If your hair drinks everything in but never stays soft, this guide will help you retain moisture for longer and make your hair feel smoother, stronger and easier to manage.
