I am new-ish. I say, 'ish' because I have been lurking, spying on you hair-loving beauties for a year now (well, doesn't that sound creepy?) but only joined a couple of weeks or so ago.
Some of you have taught me some things whether you know it or not. If I could remember exactly who taught me what, I would buy you each a bar of hair-healthy chocolate and an, "Amazon" voucher. But because I do not, that idea is a no-go. Bummer, huh? :p
Anyway, I never heard of 'porosity' regarding hair until I ran across its mentioning here a year ago.
I did the water-in-the-glass test and my hair floated for awhile (what seemed like several minutes) before sinking. Because I have come to look to this site for hair matters, what does that mean? What porosity is my hair? Should I have done a few hairs during the test or is one sufficient? And is there a link as to porosity here someone could provide me with (please). Thanks.
More questions:
What does the porosity of my hair has mean for it? Does it also work as a gauge as to what products, methods, treatments and such to use and that are most beneficial to it? Can the hair's porosity change from anything we do, or do not do to the hair (such as washing less or more, processing the hair, falling ill)? Or is it something that is determined in the womb and then stays that way?
Please, someone enlighten me. Thank you!
