Not all hair is created equal, and neither should your routine be. Unlock the secret to personalized, luxury hair care by understanding your hair’s unique porosity.

In this episode, we dive into hair porosity, the often-overlooked factor that determines how your hair absorbs and retains moisture. Understanding porosity is the key to creating a routine that actually works for your hair, rather than relying on trial and error or following trends.

Learn how to identify whether your hair is low, medium, or high porosity, and how each type responds differently to hydration, protein treatments, and styling. We also explore:

• Tailoring your products to match your hair’s absorption and retention needs

• How porosity affects moisture retention, styling, and long-term health

• The connection between scalp health, hair strength, and porosity

• Why “one-size-fits-all” routines rarely work

• Practical tips for customizing care to enhance shine, softness, and resilience

By understanding your hair at a structural level, you can move away from guesswork, reduce breakage, and elevate your hair care to a refined, intentional practice.
