Our Hair is not an organ of the human body still who will deny their importance in our life. As per a survey, 86% Indians of age 28 to 38 years agreed that the good hair is their confidence booster. The porosity of hair defines the moisture content and subsequently overall hair health. The lack of moisture leads to dry and frizzy hair.
The term hair porosity simply means the ability of your hair to absorb and retain moisture which avoids dry and frizzy hair. An outer layer called cuticle facilitates this. Cuticle regulates the movement of moisture through hair. Low porosity occurs when the cuticle binds them tightly stopping the free movement of moisture or oil.
