Is Coarse Hair Resistant

Coarse hair is the strongest hair texture because it contains all three layers of the hair shaft (the cortex, the cuticle, and the medulla). It is resistant to damage thus making it easier to maintain length. It also holds styles well.

How do you know if you have low porosity hair?

Another way to check your hair porosity is to drop hair that’s been shed as a result of combing into a glass of water. If it floats, your hair is low porosity. If your hair sinks slowly, it has normal porosity, and if it sinks immediately, your hair is high porosity.

Do I have high porosity hair?

Normal porosity: If the strand floats somewhere in the middle of the glass, you probably have medium or normal porosity hair. High porosity: If the strand quickly sinks to the bottom of the glass, you likely have high porosity hair.
