“Porosity: The Key to Moisture”
Hey Greaux Girl,
If you’ve ever wondered why your friend’s products work for her but not for you, the answer might be one thing: porosity.
Porosity determines how easily your hair absorbs + holds moisture — and once you understand it, hair care becomes 10x easier.

🔬 HAIR EDUCATION OF THE WEEK: Understanding Porosity
Hair porosity is based on the tightness or openness of your cuticles — the little “scales” that protect each strand.
Low Porosity Hair
Cuticles lay flat and tightly packed.
Your hair:
• Repels water before absorbing it
• Takes a long time to dry
• Easily gets product buildup
• Needs warm water to open the cuticle
• Prefers lightweight oils (like Sweet Almond)
Medium (Normal) Porosity
Cuticles open and close normally.
Your hair:
• Takes in moisture easily
• Holds hydration well
• Needs a balanced routine
• Responds well to regular oils and creams
High Porosity Hair
Cuticles are lifted or damaged from heat/color.
Your hair:
• Absorbs water fast but loses it even faster
• Frizzes easily
• Gets dry quickly
• Needs thicker oils, butters, and frequent sealing
• Loves protective styles and bond-building treatments
Quick Porosity Test
Mist your hair with water.
• Beads up? → Low
• Absorbs slowly but evenly? → Medium
• Absorbs instantly? → High
Understanding porosity means understanding what your hair actually needs.
