✏️ Aula sobre POROSIDADE CAPILAR: O que é, como identificar, receita de vinagre e Acidificante Kpro

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through understanding hair porosity, how to identify it, and effective treatments using both commercial products and homemade remedies. Hair porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture, which can significantly affect its health and styling. This guide is inspired by the video from Carol Kyoko, which offers valuable insights into this topic.

Step 1: Understanding Hair Porosity

• Hair porosity is categorized into three types:

  • Low Porosity: Hair cuticles are tightly packed, making it difficult for moisture to penetrate.
  • Medium Porosity: Hair cuticles are slightly raised, allowing moisture to enter and retain well.
  • High Porosity: Hair cuticles are highly raised or damaged, leading to quick moisture absorption and loss.

• Factors affecting porosity:

  • Genetics
  • Chemical treatments (e.g., bleaching, straightening)
  • Environmental factors (e.g., humidity, heat styling)

Step 2: Identifying Your Hair Porosity

• Water Test:

  • Fill a glass with water.
  • Take a clean strand of hair and place it in the water.
  • Observe:
    • If it sinks quickly, you have high porosity.
    • If it floats in the middle, you have medium porosity.
    • If it floats on top, you have low porosity.

• Feel Test:

  • Run your fingers along a strand of hair.
  • If it feels smooth, you likely have low porosity.
  • If it feels somewhat bumpy, you have medium porosity.
  • If it feels rough and dry, you have high porosity.

Step 3: Treatments for Hair Porosity

Commercial Products

• Acidificante Kpro pH Balancer:
  • Helps lower the pH level of the hair, making cuticles lie flatter and reducing porosity.
• Deep Reconstrutor Kpro:
  • A treatment designed to nourish and reconstruct damaged hair.

Homemade Remedies

• Vinegar Rinse:

  • Mix equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar.
  • After shampooing, pour the mixture over your hair.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing with cool water.
  • This helps to close the cuticles and balance the hair's pH.

• Lemon Treatment:

  • Mix the juice of one lemon with water.
  • Apply to hair after washing, leave for a few minutes, then rinse out.
  • This can help to clarify and reduce porosity.

Conclusion

Understanding and identifying your hair's porosity is essential for maintaining its health and vitality. By using either commercial products or homemade remedies, you can effectively manage your hair's porosity and enhance its moisture retention.
