- Do you struggle to care for your hair and find the right products? Here's a simple experiment you can do to find your hair type. ⬇
It's called the bowl test:
1. Get out a large bowl and fill it with water
2. Pluck 3-4 hairs from your head and put them in the water
3. Leave it for 5 minutes and then come back and check on it.
If your hair is floating on top of the water you have low porosity hair.
If your hair is floating in the middle of the water you have medium porosity hair.
If your hair is at the bottom of the bowl you have high porosity hair.
In my next two videos, I'll show you exactly how you can take care of your specific hair type. So you can finally find the right products for your hair.

They always forget about the middle child 💀
💀
💀 btw I think if it’s the middle child then the hair is perfect so it doesent get oily soon or fizzy
😂😂
@@liaharutyunyan2010woww thats so thoughtful. Btw i m the middle child
@@parighapatil Lmaoo well since the middle child is the least fav then they try to become a he fav so there probs smart funny and prettt/handsome so ya
When one strand of your hair is at the bottom and the other one is still floating 💀
😂😂😂😂
The same situation here 😢
Bruh ikr
Might be you having a change in your hair, with mine I've noticed I have some very thick hairs and some being much thinner. Since I experienced a little hair loss due to a medical condition, I assume the thick hairs are the old ones and the thinner ones being newer? I'd recommend testing more of your hairs over multiple days to see which ones are more commen, the ones floating or the ones sinking
@@opewfmWPOSAME omg my hair used to be soooo thick but now its thinnning and im confused some hairs are extremlly thick others are medium and others are fine sooooo idk anymore but its defo not as thick as it used to be
What about medium porosity hair? Don't forget that in your next video. 😉
Its in the middle ig
Medium means normal
@Archita Nayak lol 😆
Yes exactly
Yeah exactly
This can be useful but should be done on clean hair with no product otherwise product can prevent moisture from entering the strands causing it to float. Also pull the strands from different areas because you can have more than one porosity. For instance the crown can be low porosity while the perimeter is high to medium porosity
My hair strands were floating on top of the water, my hair gets oily quickly but still frizzy causing dandruff, gets tangle easily and air dries quickly.
What type of hair do I have!???
@@theorchid84 hey❤️ sounds like you have low porosity hair
@@keyonna thanks a lot to reply 😊
Can you please recommend me a suitable shampoo and oil?
Just from your explanation, I know mine is high porosity. You described it exactly
dude my hair are dry nd frizzy af but came out as low porosity💀
Samee
SAMEEE
Sameeee dude
Sameee! I feel like she said it wrong! It's the opposite.
Sammmee
I didn't tryed it, but I KNOW my hair is low porosity, bc YOU LITERALLY DESCRIBED MY WHOLE HAIR
dont pluck your hairs my friends just take some from your hairbrush that you use that day.
I cringed when she said pluck 3 or 4 hair strands. My hair is precious.
@@sylviafernandes8818 yeah it's dumb, you can just brush your hair while massaging your scalp.
That should make your hair shed like normal,take out the hair from the brush and put it in a water container.
This “hair floating test” does not work. It’s been debunked by many many hair stylists. Save your loose hairs for diy extensions lmao.
High porosity has air trapped in the raised cuticles, causing it to be more buoyant and therefore float, so it’s not the low porosity hair that floats, it’s the high porosity. This was proven by a scientist.
@GreenGoblin9 lol hairstylist are not doctors or specialist thry just know how to style not the science of hair
Ok... I didn’t try it yet, but why does my hair sound like both of them? It’s SOOOOOO easy to get tangled but SOOOOO hard to get dry...
then probably low porosity hair then, it can get dry too because it's hard for moisture to get in
is your hair bleached? this could be a bad sign
@@nimpfaelyn no, my hair is not bleached or dyed in any way. It’s just how it is.
@@CanineCoolArtStudios-Official okay, great! in this case maybe your hair is just quite thick/long or curly 💜 not the worst thing to have, is it?
@@nimpfaelyn oh yes, my hair is very long and thick, and it has a slight wave to it!
Simplest explanation ever about hair porosity!!!!!! ❤
My hair always floating in water and me not knowing that your hair can sink:
anyone else come across this video a year and a half later it was posted and cant find the videos she's talking about 😭
Apparently I have low porosity hair, however it gets super frizzy, oily, and tangles easily 💀
And I have low porosity hair, which gets oily easily but also is prone to breakage looks dry and frizzy, tangles super fast and air dries very fast
@@jacqueline.9799 exactly! I’m currently trying different products to help tame everything but we’re really getting the worst of both worlds 💀
Keratin oil works really well on my hair to be honest. It’s absolutely less frizzy and looks more moisturised.
@@roxm9535 wow, good to know!
By those descriptions I feel like I’m both!!!!!😮 now what?!
You're medium obviously 👁️👄👁️
i just cut off 2 feet of my hair and donated it, so im going to follow some of your tips to make hair grow fast so that i can donate it again!
I watched this shorts two days ago. I have test my hair and my hair has low porosity. It really took a very long time to dry my hair. After two hours is still a little bit wet or dump. Gonna watch the next shorts which I have watched yesterday.

I have low prosperity hair… 100% not what I expected and thx u so much for ur hair vids I really need to fix up my hair and ur vids are so helpful
I simply love your videos, you get straight to the point, good editing and you actually have experience in the field 🙌🏻 just saying, if you would write a book about general hair care, I would definitely buy it 😄
You see, now this one would be very confusing for me, because i haven't done the test, but i have a flaky scalp, it does get oily after 2-4 days(the scalp), it's VERY frizzy and i have very try ends.
Even I have the same problem do u know any treatment for it??
@@asmithakur4572 .. Sad enough, i don't. I need help myself hahaha
If you get a solution to this problem please ping up this sister here too. On top of everything i have curly hair and I NEED to condition it but when I do, the hair becomes limp, its still dry but tangles less
@@uditabhattacharya2824 ... I'll definitely hit you up. I will try a new brand called Olaplex. Then i will try the Cardi B hair mask many been talking about, and i will see what happens!
Definitely high porosity hair!!
I have low porosity according to test but shows all characters of high porosity, like frizzy hair, very dry, air dry within 10 mins
I have high porosity hair.... Thanks ❤️ thanks for 1 like ..
..
Yep I have low porosity hair and everything you said checks out
I haven’t even done the bowl test and i just know i have low porosity hair 😭👍
Same 😭😭
Me too😭🥲
You!
Same
Omg😬
I have dry frizzy hair..you are right..When I travel by bus, my hair gets very tangled and rough in the air.
Side part club🤗
Guys If your hair is dry type, then whenever you shampoo your hair, first apply conditioner on your length, leave it for 1-2 minutes, then shampoo your scalp without removing the conditioner. Trust me this will make your hair frizz free and smooth.
Low porosity here, just did the test
make sure you stir a couple times to release the air bubbles, mine was at the top and then i stirred it and its in the middle
I was searching for this comment.mine the same
Really use video thank you. Am really struggling with my menopausal hair. Looking forward to the next videos so I can stop wasting money on the wrong products. Thanks again 💗
Im interested to see what you have to say about high porosity hair, and what the feedback will be.
Very interesting video, i will definitely be trying this and keeping an eye out for the following videos. Thank you!
I have low porosity hair
Could you please talk about hair becoming thinner in width almost can't be seen, why is this happening and how to restore it's vitality?
Im struggling to figure out my hair porosity because the strands float on the surface of water, but my hair gets frizzy very easily and only needs to be washed once a week.
Idk what prostity I have. When I tried the bowl test, it showed low porosity. But a few thinks u said abt high porosity was right too, like my hair gets tangled easily and feels dry, it's curly tho so that could be the reason. It also air dries slowly and dosen't get oily that fast.
Hair might be coated with silicone or natural oil which make them float on water. The floating process is not that accurate.
@@Lifeaddictions I don't use products with silicones
mine is the same 😂😂
Thank you for explaining this. I’m surprised how sparse this information is on CZcams or at least how poorly explained. Thanks once again
This “test” has been debunked many times. It simple does not work.
Floats on top low porosity
Guys, if you actually want to find your hair porosity, you need to watch a full video explaining it, just take 10 minutes, it is more complicated than if your hair floats or sinks.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for this video!
Mine came out as low porosity. But my hair has never been oily.
From your description alone i can say my hair has low porosity hair without even doing the experiment 😅
I have both😂
Love this❤
I did this experiment and actually forgot after putting my hair in the mug and looked at it the next and my hair was still floating...but I don't have dandruff.. infact I have the cleanest sclap that I have ever seen
When will u show how to treat low and high priority hair???
I'm definitely high porosity.
I have fine n thin low porosity hair. Easy to wash. Yes we exist
Bro she was right I have low porosity hair and it so annoying
Thank you so much for the info ❤❤
This videos are surprisingly interesting. I’m going to do this test tomorrow 😊
I think my hair has low porosity. Still need to check using this method. Thank you so much for an informative and helpful video.
Edit: Yes. Tried this method and my hair turns out to be low porosity. Dandruff is often my problem. And yes, washing my hair kinda takes extra effort. 😅
No madam 😖 This can be totally fake. The best way to check what porosity we have is to do few online tests (probably on the hair pruducts site). This test won't show you if your hair is tangling a lot, is it fluffy after washing etc.
@@natalieramon2595 Thanks. I believe that could help me better understand my hair.
@@hannielgestiada it wasn't suppose to be comment to your comment, but you're welcome 😆
Real information thnks doc
I have loww 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love your videos! Thanks!!
Havent done thee experiment but im pretty sure i have low porosity hair.
I constantly struggle with dandruff yes i know eww.. 😖
also my hair gets oily so easily
Sameeeeeee :(((
I have low porosity hair I just checked with water.. so that's the only reason my hair always feels shiny and smooth. You can see my hair on my profile picture.. its super thin hair and basically was floating on water even if I dipped it down
Waiting
I literally have all those symptoms
Pls do the low porosity.. Hair care mam
My hair were floating even after 15 min., but they get tangled easily and are at the peak of damaging and hairfall 😭😭
@@seraphim9333 you have high porosity then. many other videos examples about porosity suggest to push it down just to check if it floats back up, so you did the right thing! Mine floated back up immediately after i dunked it to the bottom so i know i have low porosity!
I didnt even need to do the test because the low porosity already explained it all
Thank you for explaining this. I've been hearing it everywhere. When should you test tho? I imagine products with oil with give you different results.
THANK YOU
We never learn enough about what high low and medium p are. Please explain further
Yes please, I'm struggling to keep my hair healthy!
Ok so, I have done this test before but it doesn't make sense bc my hair floats it never sinks. but it also dries super fast and looks frizzy.
Well I tried this and my hair is floating on top of the water which means my hair has low porosity. That's definitely wrong. My hair is dry and frizzy, tangles easily and air dries faster
I HAVE BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS I guess I have medium
I have middle porosity hair
I have low porosity my hair dries super fast, tangles easily, and I have no dandruff
Where is part 2😢😢
Thank you
Once at school i was being a dumb dumb with my friends and we got bored so we started cutting OUR HAIR!!!😂😂😂😂
Most interesting video today
My hair takes fooorever to dry but it tangles very easily. Its very dry and breaks easily. But its super long and thick. Idk what type of hair i have..lol maybe im all types at once 😂
1 did the test. After 5mins it was still on top but then I pushed it a bit deeper then it stayed there for a moment and then slowly sank down.
So what am I suppose to understand by that?
Is that right? Did you take into consideration the amount oil coating each hair strand. I have fine hair but it can get oily very easily
Thank you. My hair is the high porosity 😢. No wonder my hair always looks like that
Thanks for sharing
This “test” is BS. Many hair stylists have debunked it.
Helloooo. Soooooo I seem to have
High and low? Does she happen to have a video on how to work with that mixture?
Reasons:
High-dry&frizzy. My hair is ALWAYS frizzy
Low-I have thick hair which takes a long time to air dry.
I'm low. I didn't even have to do the test. The description was enough
I have low porosity hair but they don't get oily fast, i have to apply oil and next fay max of the oil is gone 😂 they don't take that much time to dry😅
No madam 😖 This can be totally fake. The best way to check what porosity we have is to do few online tests (probably on the hair pruducts site). This test won't show you if your hair is tangling a lot, is it fluffy after washing etc.
What if hair takes a while to get wet, gets wet freeze and most of it dries fast with freeze? I need help 😭
Pluck 😱😱
Lysm❤️
I have low porosity😅
i have low porosity hair
can’t wait to tey
How long should it take to air dry though? I have VERY fine hair, that is oily. Using a blow dryer, my hair is dry in about 5 minutes. Air drying takes about an hour or so.
I don’t know if an 1hr to 1 1/2hrs to 100% air dry is considered a long time? Guess i should do the bowl test 😂
No, that isnt a very long time to dry. 🙂
thanks I'm doing the test
Might sound like a silly question, but does the temperature of the water need to be a certain temp. i.e room temp for an acurate result? Really keen to know the answer to this
I love ur content 😍😍 your channel is one of my fav you tube channel ....by the way which porosity hair is the best
I forgot to clean up the bowl and my hair was still floating (well, sitting on top of the water) the next day after I came home from work 😅 I'm pretty sure my hair is low porosity 🤭 and I tried it with different cleaned hairs. (Plucked from my head, clean hair just after showering with no styling products, and a strand washed with dish soap)
This test is so innacuarte. According to it I’m low porosity but I just know I’m actually medium porosity
When you realize you're just a mixture 👀
Can we just use hairs from the brush or from the shower once they’ve dried? I can’t be just plucking out these valuable hairs lol
How can my hair be low porosity if all the conditions you defined do not fit with my hair at all.
Thanks
I use dove conditioner and shampoo for my low porosity hair (the kind with no sulfates) do you think that is good for my hair type?
