What's My Hair Porosity?

I believe my hair is high porosity. I use butters and oils on my hair because of this. However, hair butters can be good for both high and low porosity hair, but how well they work depends on the type of butter, how you use it, and your porosity level.

I notice that when the water hits, my hair gets soaked easily. It doesn't dry fast, but it doesn't dry slowly. I did the string in a water cup test, but I didn't understand it when I first did it. I know something about floating to the top is this porosity, floating to the bottom is this porosity; or if it is in the middle, then it is medium porosity. It is a good idea to know my porosity, because some products work this way or that way depending on hair porosity. Like thick butters for high porosity, but not for low porosity.

If you would like to know more about porosity, you can buy the book here:.
