Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream

Product Information

Hair porosity: Your hair's porosity (a.k.a. your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture) informs how it retains product. High porosity hair tends to absorb water, oils and other products more easily than other hair types, though not for a long period of time. On the other hand, low porosity hair doesn't easily absorb water and treatment, instead, products tend to stay on the surface of the hair. To find whether your hair has high or low porosity, take notice of the way in which your hair absorbs products. Individuals with high porosity hair should reach for a denser curl cream and products with ingredients like shea butter and heavy oils. If your hair has a lower porosity, it's best to use light products that can penetrate easily, since the hair doesn't as easily absorb moisture.
