All About Porosity: Medium Porosity Hair

When it comes to medium porosity, hair cuticles are not so tightly close together, making it easier for moisture to penetrate to the hair.  Due to being able to hang on to moisture for longer periods of time, product penetrates into the hair shaft quicker allowing curls to form more quickly.

However, it is crucial to remember that manipulation to medium porosity hair, such as color bleaching, chemical processing, and excessive heat, can change porosity.

We recommend deep conditioning with protein once a month for medium porosity hair and deep conditioning with moisture one to three times a month.  

To assist in styling medium porosity hair, we recommend the following Mixed Chicks products:  Mixed Chicks Detangling Deep Conditioner, Leave-in-Conditioner, Morning After Redefining Foam, and the Curl Sculptor.
