Do You Know Your Hair Type? The porosity test that changes everything
Ever bought a highly-rated product, only to find it sits on your hair like grease or disappears instantly without hydrating?
The problem isn't the product; it's likely your Hair Porosity. Knowing how your hair absorbs and retains moisture is the missing key to unlocking your best hair days 🌸.
Here is a simple guide to understanding your hair's unique structure, without the confusion, and choosing the right care for it.
💧 1. The Float Test: Find out now
Discovering your porosity takes less than 5 minutes.
Take a clean strand of shed hair and place it in a glass of water:
- Floats at the top? Low Porosity.
- Sinks slowly? Medium Porosity.
- Sinks immediately? High Porosity.
Once you know where your hair lands, you can treat it correctly.
🔒 2. Low Porosity: The Closed Door
If your hair floats, your cuticles are tightly closed.
Moisture has a hard time getting in, so heavy products just build up on the surface.
The LUNA Lightweight Oil Mist is perfect because :
- It penetrates without heaviness
- Uses heat to open the cuticle
- Avoids protein overload
- Keeps hair bouncy and light
Focus on using warm water and steam to help products soak in.

🚧 3. High Porosity: The Open Door
If your hair sinks, your cuticles have gaps or damage.
Your hair drinks water fast but loses it just as quickly, leading to dryness and frizz.
The LUNA Deep Repair Mask is essential to :
- Fill in the gaps in the cuticle
- Seal moisture inside
- Strengthen with proteins
- Reduce breakage instantly
Use leave-in conditioners and cooler water to seal the cuticle shut.

✨ 4. Medium Porosity: The Balance
If your hair sinks slowly, you have the "Goldilocks" of hair types.
It absorbs and holds moisture well, but it still needs maintenance to stay that way.
The LUNA Balanced Conditioner helps to :
- Maintain the perfect moisture level
- Protect against future damage
- Add shine without weight
Regular treatments will ensure your porosity doesn't shift over time 🤍.
