2. Hair care routine: Frequent use of harsh products, excessive heat styling, and inadequate moisturizing can change hair porosity.

4. Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders can affect hair porosity.

5. Aging: Hair porosity can change as we age, with hair becoming more porous and prone to dryness.

6. Hair treatments: Chemical treatments like hair dye, perms, and relaxers can alter hair porosity.

7. Diet and nutrition: A diet lacking essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and zinc can affect hair porosity.

To maintain healthy hair porosity, focus on:

1. Gentle hair care routines
