hair oil for soft hair

What's my hair type?

It is important to know how well your hair is able to absorb and retain moisture (porosity), as everyones hair is different, and understanding how to apply our nutrient-rich hair oil in a way that's most suited to your hair type will achieve the most desirable results.

    Low Porosity

You have low hair porosity if cuticles are closed and flat which means although it can hold on to moisture quite well, it is more difficult for oils and moisture to penetrate 

   Medium Porosity

You have medium porosity when the cuticles are slightly raised, allowing moisture in as well as being able to retain it well

High Porosity

                   

When you have high hair porosity the cuticles are raised allowing moisture in easily, while at the same time enabling moisture to escape easily

What is the best way to put oil in hair based on my hair porosity?


If you have low hair porosity, oils may take longer to penetrate the hair, and there is a risk of product buildup due to the flat, closed cuticles, but the lightweight formula of Our Nourishing oil  enables the oil to penetrate the cuticle more easily, as well as allowing you to have more of an intensive treatment by keeping the product on your hair for a longer period of time for maximum absorption, while not having to worry about product building up on your hair.*Tip. Heat helps to open cuticles, so covering hair with a towel while the oil is in your hair helps to generate heat and enhance product absorption

If you have medium hair porosity, hair usually absorbs and releases the  moisture at a steady rate. For enhanced absorption, the lightweight formula of Harir Hair Oil deeply penetrates the cuticles more easily. Maintenance is also important, so in order to keep the balance found in medium porosity hair, regular nourishment and care is needed to keep the hair healthy and hydrated as well as protect the hair from damage caused by the use of hair tools and chemical treatments

If you have high hair porosity, the raised cuticles can enable moisture to penetrate the hair more easily as well as allow moisture to leave the hair more easily, however consistent application of hair oil can help to smooth the cuticles over time resulting in the improved ability to absorb and retain moisture. Smoother cuticles also contribute to improved hair shine and reduced frizz. The  oil blend contains nourishing ingredients that help to replenish a loss of hydration in high porosity hair, resulting in healthier, luscious hair. The lightweight consistency of this oil also makes it an effective buildable oil so hair can be deeply nourished in desired for intensive hair oil treatments.
