Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles, so water beads up and products tend to sit on top instead of sinking in. The products here are chosen for that: water-based, lightweight layers you apply to damp hair, plus a clarifying bar that keeps buildup from blocking the next wash.
How to choose: for the full routine — including the heat-activated Babassu Deep Conditioner — start with the Low Porosity Hair Bundle. Building your own? Pair the Neem Tea Tree Shampoo Bar with Curl Hydration Spray and Curl Moisture Cream, and keep oil to a final few drops.
How do I know if my hair is low porosity?
Drop a clean, shed strand into water. If it floats for a while, it's likely low porosity — so is product that seems to sit on your hair.
Do I need heat to deep condition low porosity hair?
It helps. Gentle warmth under a cap lifts the cuticle enough for conditioner to absorb — 30 minutes is plenty.
Should low porosity hair avoid protein?
Not always, but it builds up easily, so many people do better protein-free. The whole Low Porosity Hair Bundle is protein-free. The one exception on this page: Curl Enhancing Custard contains hydrolyzed wheat protein, so skip it if your hair is protein-sensitive.
