... Read moreUnderstanding your hair type is essential for maintenance and styling. Hair types are classified into categories based on their texture, shape, and thickness. The AFRO, WAVY, STRAIGHT, and CURLY classifications provide a framework for caring for and styling hair according to its natural qualities. One popular method of identification is the wash-and-go test, which allows your hair to dry naturally after washing. By observing the curl pattern and texture, you can assign your hair to one of the classifications. Remember to consider environmental factors and the products used that can affect your hair's appearance, like humidity or styling gels. Using social media platforms like TikTok, users share their hair routines and results from their hair type tests, showcasing real-life examples of diverse textures. Engaging with these communities can help you gather useful tips directly from people with similar hair types. Explore styling options based on your identified hair type, from moisturizing routines for dry curls to smoothing treatments for frizz control. Your journey in understanding your hair type can lead to healthier, shinier hair!

This image defines hair porosity, explaining it's determined by the cuticle. It visually contrasts a smooth hair strand with sealed cuticles (low porosity) and a frizzy strand with lifted cuticles (high porosity) to illustrate the concept.
This image illustrates the three types of hair porosity: low (sealed cuticles, water beads), medium (balanced cuticles, good absorption), and high (lifted cuticles, absorbs and loses moisture fast), with corresponding descriptions.
This image demonstrates a hair porosity test using a glass of water. It shows that hair strands floating indicate low porosity, suspending indicates medium, and sinking indicates high porosity, with instructions for the test.
What is Porosity Hair?
Hair porosity determines how the cuticle absorbs and holds moisture...Sealed cuticles. Balanced cuticles. Lifted cuticles. Each porosity level demands its own routine, products, and technique. SHARE THIS GUIDE with a stylist, client, or friend #hair #hairstylist #fyp #explorepage✨
