7 Mistakes You May Be Making When It Comes to Washing Your Hair

Hair porosity is your hair's ability to retain moisture and understanding it is important in your quest for gorgeous locks. "High porosity tends to need strength and moisture, while medium and low porosity tend to need more moisture than strength," explains Campbell. "If you use strength on low porosity hair that really needs moisture, it could result in a protein overload and cause even more dryness leading to breakage."

The bottom line? Listen to your hair, give it a water porosity test and cater to the characteristics of the cuticle.
