What is a high porosity hair type?

Our hair is made up of cuticles, high porosity hair has gaps and holes in the cuticles, which lead to quick moisture absorption but difficulty retaining it.

How to care for high porosity hair?

Shea Butter Oil: Offers intense moisture and helps seal the cuticles in high porosity hair.
