Hair Porosity & Ancestral Practices: What Our Elders Knew All Along
Hair Porosity & Ancestral Practices: What Our Elders Knew All Along
Before porosity charts and influencer tutorials, our elders were already curl experts. They didn’t use scientific terms, but they listened to our hair—observing how it behaved and responding with oils, herbs, and love. That same wisdom powers every product in the Natural Hair Really Rocks by MoeMo™ collection.
What Is Hair Porosity?
Porosity is your hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture. You might fall into one of these categories:
-
Low Porosity: Water beads up and rolls off. Hair dries slowly. Products tend to build up.
-
Medium Porosity: Moisture is retained well. Hair feels balanced and manageable.
-
High Porosity: Hair soaks in moisture quickly but loses it just as fast. Often feels dry, frizzy, or fragile.
