Wondering “Can I use glycerin on low porosity hair”. Here, I will explore low porosity hair, pros and cons of using glycerin, and some alternatives.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The term porosity refers to your hair\u2019s ability to absorb and hold moisture. Low porosity hair, as the name suggests, has a difficult time absorbing moisture.\u00a0This can be attributed to the flattened cuticles on the hair shaft, which make it difficult for water and other products to penetrate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be frustrating for those with low porosity hair, as it often means that their hair feels dry and dull no matter how much moisture they try to add.

Glycerin is a humectant which means that it draws moisture from the air into your hair. This can be a great thing for those with high porosity hair, which tends to be dry and porous. However, low porosity hair already has a hard time absorbing moisture, so using too much glycerin can actually make your hair feel dry and brittle.<\/em><\/strong> (Becker, Lillian C et al. \u201cSafety Assessment of Glycerin as Used in Cosmetics<\/a>.\u201d International journal of toxicology vol. 38,3_suppl (2019): 6S-22S. doi:10.1177\/1091581819883820)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Can I Use Glycerin On Low Porosity Hair<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
