The Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have low porosity hair, you\u2019ve probably experienced this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You apply products\u2026 and they just sit there<\/em>.
Your hair feels coated, heavy, or greasy\u2014but still dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not your fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What Low Porosity Hair Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles, which means:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Moisture struggles to get in<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Buildup happens easily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    So the goal is simple:
    Help moisture enter\u2014without overwhelming your hair.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Step-by-Step Routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    1. Clarifying Shampoo (1\u20132x\/week)<\/strong>
    Removes buildup so moisture can actually get in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Lightweight Conditioner<\/strong>
    Look for water-based formulas that won\u2019t sit on your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Apply Heat<\/strong>
    Use a warm towel or steam to gently open the cuticle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Leave-In Products (Lightweight Only)<\/strong>
    Think:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Milky leave-ins<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Lightweight serums<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Aloe-based products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Ingredients to Avoid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Heavy butters (like shea butter in large amounts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Thick oils (castor oil, coconut oil for some people)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Silicones that build up easily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Common Mistakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Using too many products at once<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Skipping clarifying<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Using heavy oils expecting \u201cmoisture\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
