What is the ideal porosity for hair that is easy to style and manage?

Medium porosity is considered the ideal level for hair that is easy to style and manage. Hair with medium porosity has a balanced ability to retain moisture while also allowing for some absorption of products and treatments. This balance means that it does not require excessive styling effort, as it can hold styles well without becoming overly dry or greasy.

Low porosity hair tends to resist moisture absorption, making it challenging to style without proper techniques or products, as it may not easily take in moisture or treatment products. Conversely, high porosity hair absorbs moisture quickly but can also lose it just as easily, which might lead to frizziness and challenges in maintaining styles. Very high porosity hair often experiences significant damage or over-absorption, making it difficult to manage effectively. Thus, medium porosity hair is the most manageable and versatile for styling purposes.
