Stop Guessing: Here’s What Your Hair Actually Needs

A complete guide to understanding your hair type and porosity to find products that genuinely work.

Most of us choose hair products based on marketing, not our actual hair type — and that’s where it all goes wrong.

Know Your Porosity

Low porosity: Water beads on your hair before absorbing. Use lighter products and heat to help them penetrate.

High porosity: Your hair absorbs quickly but loses moisture fast. Focus on protein treatments and seal with heavier butters.

The Basics Every Hair Type Needs

  • A sulfate-free shampoo
  • A weekly deep conditioner
  • A leave-in conditioner
  • A heat protectant

Once you know your hair, shopping becomes so much easier. ✨
