"Understanding Hair Porosity Test, Important for Hair Care"

"Dream - Speaking of hair care, Dream friends may have seen a test where hair is placed in a glass of water. You might be wondering what the hair is put into the water for?"

Testing the insertion of hair into water is called a hair porosity test. Hair porosity is the ability of hair to absorb and retain moisture.

The hair porosity test aims to help you understand the health of your hair better. The test results can also serve as a reference for the most suitable routine care for your hair. To learn more about the hair porosity test, let's take a look at the explanation.

The translation of "Hair Porosity" from Bahasa to English is "Hair Porosity." Since the text is already in English, there is no need for translation. If you need any specific formatting or additional context, please let me know!

Before learning more about the hair porosity test, Dream Friends need to know about hair porosity. Simply put, hair porosity relates to the ability of hair to absorb moisture, which varies from person to person. Hair porosity can also change over time. It is important for Dream Friends to know that the hair porosity test is not influenced by hair type (oily or dry) or hair texture (straight, curly, and wavy).

Pure hair porosity is measured by the level of hair moisture. Therefore, hair porosity can vary over time depending on the hair care and products you use. Meanwhile, the hair porosity test is a test to measure the level of moisture absorption of the hair. To perform this test, you need to place a strand of your hair into a glass of water. Hair that is in the glass can indicate hair porosity. Before conducting this test, you need to pay attention to the following steps.

"Use a silicone-free shampoo. To maintain and care for your hair, choose a silicone-free shampoo. Take a sample of naturally fallen hair. It should be noted at this stage, Dream Friends should not pull out hair directly with its roots. Dry the fallen hair, then prepare a bowl or glass filled with water. The water container must have sufficient width and depth to submerge the hair. Quickly submerge one strand of your hair into the water to break the surface tension. Let it sit for 3 minutes."

The translation of "Hasil Hair Porosity Test" to English is "Result of Hair Porosity Test."

"After letting the hair sit for 3 minutes, Dream Friends can already see the results of the hair porosity test that was conducted. Here are the hair conditions based on the test results, Result 1: Hair Sinks to the Bottom of the Glass. If your hair sinks to the bottom of the glass or bowl, then your hair has high porosity. Hair with high porosity has large spaces between the hair cuticles, allowing moisture to enter and exit the hair."

"Even so, hair with high porosity tends to easily shed and break. To care for hair with high porosity, Dream friends need to use heavy hair care products like hair oils to keep the hair moisturized and prevent it from shedding easily. This type of hair requires extra attention. Avoid excessively hot temperatures when washing and styling the hair. Excessive heat will further lift the hair cuticle and increase porosity."

Result 2: Hair Stays in the Middle of the Glass If the hair test result stays in the middle of the container, then your hair porosity level is medium. Your hair absorbs moisture well and the moisture in your hair does not quickly disappear. This type of hair does not require overly heavy products for its care. Dream friends can use hair care products once a week. Choose hair care products that are not too heavy.

Result 3: Hair Floating on the Water Surface If the hair test shows that your hair floats on the surface of the water, then your hair's porosity level tends to be low. For hair care, choose lightweight care products. Heavy care products will be very difficult to penetrate your hair and leave an oily effect on your hair. One way to help your hair absorb care products is by wrapping your hair with a warm towel after using hair care products. Source: Fustany / Report: Salma Rihhadatul Aisy
