UNDERSTANDING HAIR POROSITY:

Of the numerous important factors that affect the health and growth of hair, porosity plays a major role. Hair porosity refers to how porous your hair is & related to it is the very crucial analysis of the health of your hair. Porosity of hair can be divided into three categories -

1. Low Porosity - Low porosity means your hair will not absorb & sustain much of the moisture which will impact the health of your mane adversely. Such hair has closed cuticles, sealed tightly, making it difficult for water, oil & other hair care products to penetrate and nourish the hair.

2. Normal Porosity - Normal porosity means your hair is neither very porous nor less porous and is supposed to be the ideal condition for healthy growth of the tresses. Such hair is generally bouncy and voluminous.

3. High Porosity - High porosity again indicates a problematic hair as it will absorb the moisture in great quantity but it will also dry up equally fast. Naturally it needs large quantities of any product applied to the hair. Hair with high porosity tend to look dull and dry most of the time.

CAUSES OF POOR HAIR POROSITY:

To deal with porosity problems of your hair it is important to be aware of varied reasons that causes this.

  • 1. Continuous use of chemicals - The harsh chemicals present in shampoo, conditioners, colours and bleach tend to damage the quality of hair.
  • 2. Various hair treatments - Treatments like permanent straightening and perming lead to affecting the porosity of hair.
  • 3. Blatant use of heating tools - Heating tools which are used for styling the hair, dry and damage the hair greatly.
  • 4. Exposure to pollution and heat - Going outdoors exposes your hair to heat and pollution which severely affects the health of hair.

  • Oils like Jojoba, Grapeseed & Argan should be applied as they are light.
  • For best results all products should be applied to wet hair as the cuticles are open at that time.

I am honestly thankful to Advanced Hair Studios. I suffer from a hair-pulling disorder. There is this constant urge to pull off your hair follicles. It is painless when you pull but extremely painful when you see a missing patch on your scalp. But, I feel blessed with AHS hair fall treatment. I can see baby hair growing. It’s been two weeks. All I can see is low hair fall.

I have done my hair transplant surgery in AHS Delhi Branch on 2019 by travelling to Delhi from Dhaka, Bangladesh. The front and the back portion of my head were bald and through the hair transplant surgery, they have managed to cover the front portion of my head and the former appearance of my face returned back. The way they collected hairs from the donor portion did not affect my donor area at all. I am quite happy with my result. I have been consulting with them for a second seating so that they can cover the back portion of my head as well so that the hair density on top will increase and the bald portion of my head will reduce to a minimum level.
