Low porosity hair often feels dry and resistant to moisture, making it a challenge to keep it hydrated and healthy. This type of hair has tightly closed cuticles that prevent water and products from penetrating easily. Understanding how to moisturize low porosity hair naturally is key to maintaining its softness, shine, and manageability. The Crown Care System offers a simple, effective routine designed specifically to address these challenges.
What Is Low Porosity Hair and Why Does It Resist Moisture?
Low porosity hair has a compact cuticle layer that lies flat and tightly overlaps. This structure creates a barrier that slows down the absorption of water and hair care products. Because moisture struggles to enter the hair shaft, low porosity hair can feel dry, stiff, or brittle even after washing.
This hair type often repels water, causing products to sit on the surface rather than nourishing the strands. Over time, buildup can occur, making hair look dull and lifeless. The key to caring for low porosity hair is to gently open the cuticle and allow moisture to penetrate deeply.
Step 1: Using Crown Care Scalp and Hair Repair Step 1 Cleansing Shampoo™ to Open the Cuticle
The first step in the Crown Care System is cleansing with the Step 1 Cleansing Shampoo™. This shampoo is formulated to gently remove buildup without stripping natural oils. It contains ingredients that help lift the tightly closed cuticles, preparing the hair to absorb moisture.
Using this shampoo regularly clears away dirt, excess oils, and product residue that can block hydration. The gentle cleansing action also soothes the scalp, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth.
To get the best results, apply the shampoo to wet hair and massage the scalp with your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, which helps to further open the cuticles. Avoid hot water as it can dry out the hair.
Step 2: Applying Crown Care Scalp and Hair Repair Step 2 Restoring Conditioner for Deep Hydration
After cleansing, the next step is to apply the Step 2 Restoring Conditioner. This conditioner is rich in natural moisturizers and nutrients that penetrate the hair shaft once the cuticle is open.
The conditioner works to restore moisture balance, soften strands, and improve elasticity. It contains ingredients that strengthen hair from the inside out, reducing breakage and split ends.
For low porosity hair, leave the conditioner on for at least 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the product to fully absorb. Using a wide-tooth comb to distribute the conditioner evenly can help ensure every strand is coated.
Step 3: Locking in Moisture with Crown Care Scalp & Haircare Therapy Oil™
The final step in the Crown Care System is sealing in moisture with the Therapy Oil™. This lightweight oil locks hydration inside the hair shaft and adds a natural shine without weighing hair down.
The Therapy Oil™ contains a blend of nourishing oils that penetrate low porosity hair easily. It forms a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss throughout the day.
Apply a small amount of oil to damp hair, focusing on the ends where dryness is most common. Avoid applying too much to the scalp to prevent buildup.
Tips for Steam Treatments to Boost Moisture Absorption
Steam treatments are an excellent way to enhance the effectiveness of the Crown Care System. The warm steam helps to gently open the hair cuticles, allowing conditioners and oils to penetrate deeper.
To do a steam treatment at home:
After applying the Step 2 Restoring Conditioner, cover your hair with a plastic cap.
Use a handheld steamer or sit under a hooded steamer for 10 to 15 minutes.
If you don’t have a steamer, wrap a warm towel around your head instead.
Rinse with cool water to close the cuticles and lock in moisture.
Regular steam treatments, about once every two weeks, can significantly improve moisture retention for low porosity hair.
Signs Your Low Porosity Hair Is Fully Hydrated
Knowing when your hair is properly moisturized helps avoid over- or under-conditioning. Here are some signs that your low porosity hair is fully hydrated:
Hair feels soft and smooth without being greasy or heavy.
Strands have a natural bounce and elasticity.
Hair looks shiny and healthy, not dull or brittle.
Styling is easier, and hair holds styles well.
The scalp feels comfortable without dryness or itchiness.
If your hair feels sticky, weighed down, or limp, you may be using too much product or not rinsing thoroughly. Adjust your routine accordingly.
