A) High Porosity-

3.Hair needs more products to lock moisture
4.Hair is unable to retain moisture for longer period

B) Medium Porosity-

2. Hair doesnot take longer time to air dry
3. Producct can easily penetrate into hair
4. Hair retains moisture for longer time and is more manageable

C) Low Porosity-

1. Hair doesnot absorb product easily
2. Hair takes much longer time to air dry
3. Products tend to coat the outer layer of hair
4. Hair is more prone to product build up easily
5. Hair feels more dry
