What is porosity?

A

The hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture, determined by the condition of the hair cuticle. High porosity means the cuticles are raised or damaged, allowing moisture to enter and escape easily, while low porosity means the cuticles are flat, making it harder for moisture to penetrate and stay in the hair.

Catagen (Transition): The hair stops growing and the follicle shrinks. This stage is short, like a pause before the hair falls out.

Telogen (Rest): The hair rests before falling out, making space for a new hair to start growing.
