Balancing Leave-In Conditioner for High Porosity Curls + Coils in Dry Climates
Full Size: 8.5oz / 250 ml - Sample Size: 2.7oz / 80 ml
High porosity hair refers to the high amount of gaps within the cuticle. The more gaps there are, the higher the porosity.
Because of these gaps, high porosity hair is more susceptible to weather.
In dry weather, high porosity hair will lose moisture through the gaps. So in dry weather, high porosity hair needs to be sealed to prevent drying out.
This leave-in conditioner was intentionally formulated for high porosity hair in dry climates to soften and seal the hair strands, protecting them in harsh climates.
For dry climates, or areas with average dew points of 0-35F

Panthenol is a readily available source of provitamin B-5. Provitamin B-5 binds the hair follicles and coats to seal in moisture. This is great for preventing dry hair and scalp due to heat styling. It builds a very thin layer of moisture along the surface of the hair to add shine, softness and pliability without added oils or greasiness. It is touted as a "volumizer" because it has been shown to lift the hair and add fullness.
Propanediol is a natural, green, propylene glycol alternative derived from corn sugar. It helps to improve moisturization in the scalp and hair, which further helps to reduce frizz and soften the hair.
