Understanding Hair Porosity
How to Use NOMAKADE™ to Maintain & Grow Healthier Hair
Healthy hair growth is not only about products — it is about understanding how your hair absorbs and retains moisture.
Hair porosity refers to your hair’s ability to absorb and hold moisture. When you understand your porosity level, you can layer products correctly, reduce breakage and maintain consistent growth.
What Is Hair Porosity?
Hair porosity is determined by how tightly or loosely your hair cuticles (the outer layer of your strands) are structured.
There are three types:
Low Porosity
Recommended Routine:
Focus on lightweight hydration and avoid heavy buildup. Recommended Routine:
• Moisture Care Shampoo – gentle cleanse
• Hydrating Mist – lightweight moisture
• Nourishing Hair Milk – daily hydration
• Hair Elixir (lightly applied to scalp only)
Use Curl Pudding or Hair Butter sparingly.
Goal: Help moisture penetrate without overwhelming the strand.
Medium Porosity
Recommended Routine:
Your hair responds well to balanced moisture and protein.
• Moisture Care Shampoo
• Strengthening Conditioner
• Hydrating Mist
• Curl Defining Pudding
• Hair Elixir for scalp support
Use Detoxifying Masque once every 2 weeks.
Goal: Maintain balance and prevent damage.
High Porosity
Recommended Routine:
Focus on sealing and strengthening.
• Detoxifying Masque (weekly reset)
• Moisture Care Shampoo
• Strengthening Conditioner
• Hydrating Mist
• Curl Defining Pudding
• Intensive Hair Butter (to seal)
• Hair Elixir for scalp nourishment
Goal: Lock in moisture and reduce breakage.
How Do I Know My Hair Porosity?
Take a clean strand of hair and place it in a glass of room-temperature water.
• Floats for a long time → Low Porosity
• Sinks slowly → Medium Porosity
• Sinks quickly → High Porosity
You can also observe how your hair reacts to water and products. If moisture doesn’t last, you likely have high porosity hair. If products sit on top and feel heavy, you likely have low porosity hair.
Using NOMAKADE™ According to Your Porosity
Hydrate → Strengthen → Seal
How This Supports Hair Growth
Growth happens at the scalp.
Length retention happens along the strand.
Nomakade™ supports both by:
• Maintaining scalp health (Elixir, Detox Masque)
• Reducing breakage (Conditioner, Protein-infused formulas)
• Improving elasticity (Panthenol, Wheat Protein)
• Sealing moisture (Hair Butter, Curl Pudding)
• Preventing dryness-related damage (Mist, Hair Milk)
When moisture is balanced and breakage is reduced, you retain length - which appears as growth.
Key Takeaway
If your hair is:
• Always dry → You need better sealing.
• Easily weighed down → You need lighter hydration.
• Breaking frequently → You need strengthening and moisture layering.
NOMAKADE™ is structured as a system - not standalone products.
Cleanse → Detox → Strengthen → Hydrate → Define → Seal → Nourish
When you understand your porosity and layer correctly, your hair becomes easier to manage, retains length and maintains consistent health.
