The Real Reason Your Hair’s Been Feeling Dry Lately — And It’s Not the Products You’re Using
Dry, dull, brittle hair... again?
You’ve swapped shampoos, tried every deep conditioner on the shelf, and even cut back on heat styling. But no matter what you use, your hair still feels parched.
Here’s the truth: It might not be your products—it’s what’s happening beneath the surface that’s drying your strands out.
It’s Not Product. It’s Porosity.
Most people blame dryness on a bad shampoo or skipping a hair mask. But more often than not, the root cause is imbalanced porosity—your hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture.
When your hair’s porosity is off (too high or too low), even the best products won’t work the way they’re supposed to. You’ll feel like your hair is “drinking up” moisture but still dry hours later. That’s because the cuticle layer is too open, and hydration slips right back out.
What Causes Porosity Problems?
Let’s break it down:
-
Environmental exposure (hello, summer sun and chlorine)
-
Coloring or chemical services
-
Too much heat styling
-
Hard water (Fairfield, NJ, we’re looking at you)
-
Skipping regular trims
All of these damage the outer layer of your hair, leaving it porous, fragile, and thirsty—no matter what products you use.
The Fix: Repair, Seal, and Protect
Want to finally break the cycle? Try these stylist-approved tips:
✅ Use a bond-building treatment (like K18 or Olaplex) 1–2 times a week
✅ Clarify your scalp and strands monthly to remove buildup
✅ Finish with a pH-balancing rinse or cool water to help seal the cuticle
✅ Get a professional trim to remove dry, split ends
✅ Use heat protection religiously if you’re styling
And most importantly: Don’t skip the consultation. What works for your friend’s hair won’t work for yours.
