The High Porosity Solution: Stop Losing Moisture for Good

by Taoufik Mousselmal 01 Nov 2025

If you have high porosity hair, you live with a contradiction. Your hair is a "sponge"—it soaks up water and products the second you apply them. But, just as quickly, it loses all that moisture, leaving it dry, frizzy, and brittle by the end of the day.

This happens because your hair's cuticles (its outer layer) are raised and open, often from genetics, color treatments, or heat damage. Moisture can get in easily, but it can also escape just as easily.

Your problem isn't hydration. It's retention.

You don't need another watery leave-in conditioner. You need a heavy-duty sealant. You need a "gatekeeper" to lock that moisture in.

 

Why Lightweight Oils Fail

 

Lightweight oils (like grapeseed or almond) are great, but for high porosity hair, they aren't heavy enough. The dry air will still pull moisture from your hair. You need a sealant that creates a true, nourishing barrier.

 

Solution 1: The Ultimate Sealant (Pure Shea Butter)

 

This is the "winter coat" your hair needs. Nubiana's 100% Pure African Shea Butter is the gold standard for high porosity hair.

  • It's a Heavy Occlusive: It creates a rich, nourishing barrier that physically stops moisture from escaping.

  • It Smooths the Cuticle: Its rich, fatty acids help to smooth down those raised, open cuticles, which instantly adds shine and reduces frizz.

  • It's the Perfect "C": For high porosity hair, the L.O.C. (Liquid, Oil, Cream/Butter) method is essential. Shea butter is the perfect "C" to lock in your leave-in (L) and oil (O).

 

Solution 2: The Strengthening Sealant (Batana Oil)

 

If your high porosity is due to damage, your hair isn't just dry—it's weak. This is where Batana oil comes in.

Nubiana's 100% Pure Batana Oil is a powerful sealant that also strengthens.

  • It Fortifies Strands: It penetrates to repair and strengthen the hair shaft, making it more resilient to breakage.

  • It's Perfect for Ends: It's a miracle treatment for sealing your ends—the most porous and fragile part of your hair.

 

How to Use Sealants on High Porosity Hair

 

  1. Always apply to damp hair. You must have water (from your leave-in or shower) in the hair before you seal it.

  2. Work in sections. Apply your water-based leave-in conditioner.

  3. Warm a small amount of Shea Butter or Batana Oil in your palms.

  4. Rake it through your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This locks everything in.

Stop the endless cycle of re-moisturizing. Lock in your hydration for good.
