You Have Low Porosity Hair.
Here's Exactly Why.

After reviewing your answers, it's clear: your hair's cuticle is tightly closed, meaning moisture struggles to penetrate the strand. This is why products often sit on top of your hair rather than absorbing, leaving it feeling coated or weighed down. You aren't doing anything wrong—your hair just requires a specialised penetration protocol.

1. Warm Water Rinse

Use warm (not hot) water during your wash to gently lift the cuticle and allow products to penetrate more effectively.

2. Lightweight Layering

Avoid heavy butters and oils that will sit on your hair. Instead, use water-based, lightweight leave-ins and serums that can actually absorb into the strand.

3. Heat-Assisted Deep Conditioning

Use a hooded dryer, steamer, or heat cap during deep conditioning treatments. The gentle heat helps open the cuticle so moisture can penetrate deeply.
