Let Chat about HAIR TYPES. We all have hair but it should not be treated cut or chemically serviced the same. It is helpful to know and identify your hair types and also know how important it is to realize most people have blend of types on their head. Each type is further divided in to subcategories A,B,C which is from A be loosest to C being tightest.

Hair shape is based on some factors.
1. The angle of the dermal papilla at the base of the follicle determine whether hair grows straight, wavy, curly. Some theories point to keratin deposits around follicle which can cause the hair to harden in different shapes.
2. Genetics play the biggest role in texture, color, density! WHILE DNA determines natural curl pattern and how dense your hair might be

✨ Hair Porosity 101: The Secret to Truly Healthy Hair ✨

Not all hair absorbs and holds moisture the same way—and that’s where porosity comes in. Understanding your hair’s porosity can completely transform how your hair looks, feels, and responds to products.

What is Hair Porosity?
It’s your hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture. There are three types:

💧 Low Porosity
Hair resists moisture but, once hydrated, holds it beautifully.
Care Tip: Use lightweight, water-based products and incorporate heat (like steam) to help open the cuticle.

💧💧 Medium (Normal) Porosity
The sweet spot—moisture enters and stays balanced.
Care Tip: Maintain with consistent hydration and protein balance to keep hair strong and shiny.

💧💧💧 High Porosity
Hair absorbs moisture quickly but loses it just as fast. Often needs extra love due to damage or chemical services.
Care Tip: Layer moisture with creams + oils and focus on strengthening treatments to seal and protect.

Why It Matters
Using the wrong products for your porosity can leave your hair feeling dry, heavy, or unmanageable—even if you’re investing in high-end care.

Luxury curls start with intentional care — because hydrated hair is elevated hair.

If your curls feel dry, frizzy, or lack definition, your hair is asking for moisture + balance. Here’s how we maintain soft, refined curls in the salon — and how you can at home:

💧 Cleanse with intention
Limit washing to 1–3x per week and choose a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that protects your hair’s natural moisture barrier.

🧴 Condition + restore
Hydration is non-negotiable. Always condition thoroughly and detangle only while the hair is saturated and protected.

🧈 Layer for lasting hydration
On freshly cleansed, soaking wet hair:
Leave-in conditioner → Curl cream → Lightweight oil to seal
This is how we create softness, shine, and long-lasting definition. IGK 4 in one Prep Spray

🚫 Protect the integrity of your hair
Limit heat styling, avoid drying alcohols, and swap rough towels for soft cotton or microfiber to reduce frizz and breakage. Also Use IGK Anti Social Over Night

🛏️ Preserve your style overnight
Silk or satin pillowcases and protective styling keep your curls smooth, defined, and effortless the next day.

💦 Refresh, don’t restart
A light hydration mist + leave-in will revive your curls between washes without stripping moisture. I recommend IGK Anti Social

🧖‍♀️ Indulge in weekly treatments
Deep conditioning is essential — think of it as skincare for your hair, restoring softness, elasticity, and shine. I recommend IGK 3 Minute Hydration Mask and Hydration Balm

At Rooted, we believe healthy hair is luxury — and your curls deserve nothing less. 🤍
