Lack of Elasticity Healthy hair possesses high level of elasticity which results in the formation of its body, texture, and bouncing ability. The biggest concern with loss of elasticity is the difficulty in its treatment. To test for elasticity, wet a strand of hair and stretch it. If the strand breaks with just a little or no pull, then it needs more moisture. While if it stretches a bit and returns to its original position at release, then the elasticity level is normal. But if it gets stretched beyond that and then breaks, or feels soft or limp between the fingers, then there is a lack of protein. The point to understand is hair must have the perfect balance between protein and moisture which can best be attained by protein treatments.
High Porosity Porosity is the level of ease by which hair tends to absorb moisture and chemicals. You may have noticed that after oiling some parts of your hair become dry quickly as compared to other areas which may still be moist or wet. This means the damaged hair are more porous or quick absorber than healthy hair. Applying chemicals regularly such as straighteners, hair gels, colors, etc. makes hair more porous. Apart from undergoing conditioning and protein treatments, you need to reduce the usage or totally eliminate chemicals, dyes and styling products for some time.
