Hair Type vs Porosity: What Each One Is Actually For

Curly hair type vs porosity — what each one actually means, and why understanding both can make your routine simpler, more effective, and far less confusing.

In this video, I explain:
• What curl type is (and how it helps with styling and expectations)
• Where curl typing came from — and why it doesn’t tell you what products to use
• What porosity really is
• How porosity affects moisture, product absorption, and routine building

This is a beginner-friendly overview — no trend chasing, no guessing, just real hair behavior.
