What the term means.
Professionals may consider hair condition and porosity when assessing how natural lashes respond to lifting products. It is a property of the natural hair, not a lash-extension curl or style.
Porosity should not be diagnosed from an online photograph or used to choose a home chemical-processing routine. Your artist assesses the condition of your lashes before treatment.
The technical details.
- Outer structure
- The hair cuticle is relevant to moisture movement.
- Professional context
- Considered alongside other observations about lash condition.
These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
