HAIR POROSITY TESTS (Test Your POROSITY LEVELS) (5 EASY WAYS)

Here are 5 ways to test hair porosity and help you determine whether you have High porosity, Normal porosity or Low porosity hair. Each porosity test is easy to do and you can apply all 5 of the tests or simply select 2 or 3 to help you average out your results.

If you’re new to hair porosity and would like to find out more in depth information, then be sure to check out my video;

THIS VIDEO IS BASED ON TESTING YOUR POROSITY LEVELS ONLY!!!

HAIR POROSITY SUMMARY

Hair Porosity is all about your Hairs Ability or Inability to Absorb and Retain Moisture.

EXPLANATION ON POROSITY LEVELS

LOW POROSITY

With Low porosity hair, you'll find that rather than moisture absorbing into your hair, it feels like it's just sits on top, without penetrating into the hair shaft.

NORMAL POROSITY

With normal porosity hair, you'll find that your hair will absorb and retain moisture well and tends to last for long periods of time.

HIGH POROSITY

With high porosity hair, you'll find that your hair will easily absorb moisture, but it only lasts for a short while, before it feels dry again.

I’ve put together 5 Easy Ways to Test your hairs Porosity levels. The last time I tested mine, I had High Porosity relaxed hair. So having gone natural, I was curious to find out if anything had changed and used these 5 tests for the first time to find out. Of course, I was happy to discover that I now have Normal Porosity Hair 🙌🏾 (which I also suspected) Anyway, let me know if you guys have used any of these tests to check yours and if not, give a few of them a try. Hope you find it useful 😊

I’m so glad I’m not the only one completely lost on these porosity tests.

[TRACY]

LOVE IT!!! straight to the point! Some of these videos they are talking entirely to much before they ever get to the point... THANK YOU for getting to the point!

[edline]

No matter how much videos I watch on hair porosity I can never figure mine out and I’ve done the tests

[nejatttaman]

The day I learned my hair porosity I will be genius

For the third test to actually work, you have to break the surface tension of the water by pushing it down. If it floats back up, it’s low. If it sinks, it’s high. The temp of the water may also affect the porosity, try it with room temp, hot and cold water.

You have the thoroughness and patience of a scientist ^_^

I am late to the game of taking care of my hair and I wanna say I am loving it so far. Watching all these different videos and different perspectives I am learning a lot. P.S. I think I have low porosity hair lol

[brittneybrittneyxo]

Omg this video helped SO much! Clear, concrete and straight to the point! Thank you so much 😊

[nasijourney]

Your accent is beautiful 😍 and I’m definitely going to try this so I can know how to properly use rice water to grow my hair

[canelaxgames]

My hair get different results for each on :(

[netty]

Yes thanks for this video
Clear, clean, no loud music
Love it
Thanks Queen

[parmelar]

I appreciate the half dozen different ways to test hair porosity since I always feel like doing only one type of test is super unreliable. I'll do all these next time I wash my hair ... thanks!

1:45 for this test you’ll need to submerge the hair underwater first because it’ll stay up due to surface tension if you just drop it in

Sometimes I feel as though I have high porosity hair, sometimes I think I have low 😂 my hair does not dry fast, but in terms of adding moisture it doesn’t stay hydrated, even with oils. I think it’s best that I try out products to see how they serve my hair.

[itsmewandamarie]

Thank you! This was clear and to the point.

1. High porosity
2. Normal
3. Low
4. Normal/low
5. Normal/low

[sounique]

Thanks to your video I've learned I have low/normal porosity hair. Thank you. Now it'll be easier for me to find which products work best on my hair to give me amazing results for my 4C hair.

[AmorBlessing]

Thank You!! I did all 5 tests and all came out as Low Porosity !! Now i can buy products depending on my hair !!!

[Kerisa.Aleman]

Thank you so much for this video and all of the valid points that explains the differences in hair porosity. I have a mixture of high and low. My roots are low and my ends are high. I'm guessing it's time for a trim 😁 and again, thank you! 💕
