So I put a few stands of hair in a a glass as directed by the float test; the hair floated for a few seconds. Then sank just above the surface where is stayed for almost an hour before I interrupted the test. I grew curious and impatient, so I pushed the hair just a little and it sank so quickly to the bottom of the glass.
So with this study..... I conclude that my hair has low porosity. This means water based products for me, reduced use of protein treatments and indirect heat will help my hair to thrive.
