High porosity hair care

High-porosity hair generally absorbs water and treatments quickly, but it can also lose moisture faster. This may be due to a naturally porous fiber or hair weakened by coloring, heat, chemical treatments, friction, or repeated handling.

Here are some common signs:

• hair absorbs water quickly;
• lengths dry fast after moisturizing;
• hair easily becomes dry or rough;
• frizz appears quickly;
• hair tangles easily;
• lengths seem fragile and break more easily;
• hair needs regular treatment to stay soft.

Porosity can vary depending on different areas of the hair. These signs are therefore indications and not a definitive diagnosis.

High-porosity hair generally benefits from a routine that combines hydration, nourishment, and protection.

You can incorporate:

• Hydrating & strengthening hair tea: to provide regular hydration;
• Chadian Chébé Deep Treatment: to perform deep conditioning and improve hair suppleness;
• Hair honey: to provide softness and comfort to the lengths;
• Concentrated Chadian Chébé serum: to support the protection and retention of the lengths;
• Chébé hair butter: to nourish the hair and help limit moisture loss;
• Garlic & onion thickening oil: to complement a nourishing routine;
• Douceur Verte: to protect and soften the lengths according to their needs.

The products can be used alone or combined, but it is best to adapt the quantities to the density and condition of your hair.

Butters and oils can be useful for high-porosity hair, as they help nourish the lengths and limit moisture loss. They are particularly beneficial when hair quickly becomes dry, coarse, or difficult to style.

To use them effectively:

• apply them to hair that is already hydrated;
• use an amount suited to your hair texture;
• focus on the lengths and ends;
• avoid weighing down the roots;
• adjust the frequency based on your hair's reaction.

The Chébé Hair Butter, Chébé Concentrated Serum, and Garlic & Onion Thickening Oil can complement a routine designed to nourish and protect the lengths.

The goal is not to use many products, but to find the combination that allows your hair to remain soft, hydrated, nourished, and protected for longer.

High-porosity hair can absorb water quickly, but has more difficulty retaining it. Its fibers can lose moisture more easily, which explains why the hair can become dry again shortly after being treated.

To help your hair retain its moisture:

• apply treatments to clean, damp hair;
• regularly use a moisturizing treatment;
• finish with a nourishing or protective product;
• protect the lengths from friction;
• avoid excessive handling;
• sleep with a gentle hairstyle and, if possible, on a satin pillowcase or with a satin bonnet.

The Hydrating & Strengthening Hair Tea can be used to rehydrate the hair, and then followed up with the Hair Honey, a hair butter, or a serum, depending on the needs of the lengths.

An appropriate routine can follow these steps:

1. Cleanse the hair
Start with a suitable cleanser to remove impurities and product residue.

2. Perform a deep treatment
Apply the Chadian Chébé Deep Treatment to clean hair to improve its softness, suppleness, and manageability.

3. Provide hydration
Spray the Hydrating & Strengthening Hair Tea onto slightly damp hair.

4. Nourish the lengths
Apply the Hair Honey, depending on your hair's needs, to provide softness and suppleness.

5. Protect and seal in moisture
Finish with a small amount of Concentrated Chébé Serum, Chébé Hair Butter, or Douceur Verte.

6. Preserve the lengths
Prioritize protective hairstyles, gentle detangling, and limited manipulation to reduce friction and breakage.

The frequency of care depends on the condition of your hair. Very dry or fragile hair may require more regular care, while hair that remains supple can follow a less frequent routine.
