Hair porosity describes how well your hair absorbs and holds moisture. It's shaped by the condition of your cuticle layer — the protective outer shell of each strand. When your cuticle is tightly sealed, moisture struggles to enter. When it's raised or damaged, moisture enters easily but escapes just as fast.
This structural difference determines how your hair responds to water, oils, conditioners, and heat. A product that works beautifully for one person can leave another's hair weighed down, dry, or perpetually thirsty — not because of quality, but because of porosity mismatch.
PorositéQ gives you a clear starting point. Five questions. A structured result. A more informed foundation for every routine choice that follows.
Hair porosity refers to your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. It's determined by the structure of your cuticle — the outermost layer of each strand. Low porosity hair has tightly sealed cuticles that resist moisture entry. High porosity hair has more open cuticles that absorb moisture quickly but lose it just as fast. Understanding your porosity is a foundational step in building a routine that actually works.
The assessment consists of five structured questions drawn from established characteristics of hair porosity. Based on your responses, the app identifies whether your hair is low, medium, or high porosity — and provides a care approach tailored to that profile. No tricks, no gimmicks, no upsells.
