Cosmetics for porous hair - why should you go for them?
The porosity of hair is an individual characteristic of each of us - it refers to how open the scales on the surface of the hair are. When the scales are tightly closed, the hair is smooth and less frizzy, but may need more time to take in moisture.
Medium-porous hair - the most common type - responds well to conscious care, requiring both smoothing and restoration. High porosity strands, on the other hand, have severely split scales, making them susceptible to dryness, breakage or frizz.
At Nutridome, you'll find products designed for every type of porosity - they help smooth hair, keep it moisturized and improve elasticity. By choosing cosmetics tailored to your needs, you effectively promote hydration, regeneration, smoothing and protection from negative environmental influences. It's a simple way to healthy, beautiful hair - regardless of hair type.
PEH balance - the secret to healthy strands
PEH stands for proteins, emollients and humectants - it's the right combination of these that gives hair its daily balance. Proteins, such as keratin and amino acids, strengthen hair structure. Humectants, including glycerin or manuka honey, retain water, providing long-lasting hydration.
Emollients, i.e. natural oils and butters, form a protective layer on the surface of the hair to prevent moisture loss. It's important to keep moderation - with proteins you shouldn't overdo it, humectants should be used regularly, and emollients should be used to finish care.
Humectant, emollient and protein products with clear, active-rich formulasawait you at Nutridome . With them, you can easily build your own hair care routine, perfectly tailored to your hair's needs.
If taking care of your PEH balance is a priority, choose the Twisty Conditioner Set.

How to match cosmetics to porosity and lifestyle?
Determining the porosity of your hair is easy - just a simple test with water: drop a single hair into a glass and see how it behaves. It's also a good idea to observe if your hair frizzes or breaks easily, or if it feels smooth and slippery to the touch.
For low-porous, lightweight formulas and gentle cosmetics, preferably ones that don't need to be rinsed out, will work best, as well as avoiding excess protein. Medium-porous will appreciate a balance between moisturizing and restoring. Highly-coarse will appreciate rich regenerating masks, regular oiling and styling products that accentuate volume or curl.
At Nutridome, you'll find cosmetics in a variety of forms and volumes - from lightweight mists to convenient sets with pleasant aromatherapy scents. This makes it easy to match care to your lifestyle.

Proven ways and daily care rituals for porous hair
When caring for porous hair, it's a good idea to remember to gently wash with lukewarm water, carefully dry with a soft towel and avoid the heat of a hair dryer. Systematic trimming of the ends and application of a heat-protecting serum are simple tricks for improving the condition of strands.
If you want deep moisturization, try the OMO method (conditioner - wash - conditioner), especially recommended for the most demanding hair. Oiling with natural oils, such as neem, macadamia or argan, strengthens the hair structure and protects the hairstyle from external moisture.
The most important thing is regularity and observation - this will allow you to discover how often to reach for humectant and emollient products, so that daily care brings the best results, without overloading the hair.
Frequently asked questions about cosmetics for porous hair
How do I check the porosity of my hair?
One of the simplest ways is the water test - drop a clean, dry hair into a glass of water and observe: if it sinks quickly, it's high porosity; if it stays suspended, it's medium porosity hair; if it floats, it's low porosity. It's also a good idea to observe the daily behavior of the hair - high-porosity hair dries rapidly, frizzles and breaks easily. Knowing the porosity allows you to better adjust cosmetics, especially in terms of the amount of proteins, humectants and emollients.
How often should I use regenerative masks for high-porosity hair?
For high-porosity hair, a regenerating mask is best applied once or twice a week. Watch your hair's reaction, however - it's a good idea to rotate protein, humectant and emollient masks to maintain balance and not weigh down your strands.
Do SLS/SLES-free shampoos effectively cleanse the scalp?
Gentle SLS- and SLES-free shampoos, based on mild cleansing agents, effectively remove impurities and cosmetic residues without drying out the scalp. For a more complete care effect, it is also worth reaching for trichological scrubs.
How to protect the ends from splitting?
To take care of your ends, it's a good idea to regularly apply serums with argan oil or light vegetable butters - preferably on damp or dry hair, especially after styling. And don't forget to trim your ends regularly to keep them looking healthy.
