Shea Moisture High Porosity Moisture Replenish Shampoo 13 oz / 384 ml - For Dry, Damaged High Porosity Hair
Washing high porosity hair is a balancing act. The cuticle is already raised, so a strong detergent takes out the moisture the hair was struggling to hold on to in the first place, and you finish the wash worse off than you started.
This is a conditioning shampoo rather than a clarifying one. It cleans, but the formula is weighted towards putting moisture back during the same step, so the hair is not left waiting on the conditioner to undo the damage.
Dry, damaged and over-processed hair is the target, and porosity is usually the reason it got there. If your hair soaks up product and feels dry again within the day, this is the wash step built for you.
Concentrate it on the scalp and let the lather run down through the lengths on the rinse. The ends of high porosity hair are the oldest and the most open, and they do not need scrubbing on top of everything else they have been through. 13 oz / 384 ml.

Application tips
Get the tangles out before you go anywhere near the shower. High porosity hair swells when it gets wet, and a knot that was loose dry becomes a knot that costs you hair.
Two small palmfuls is enough for a full head. Keep the water warm rather than hot, since heat lifts an already open cuticle further.
Go straight into a conditioner or masque afterwards. Leaving porous hair sitting wet and bare between steps is where a lot of the roughness comes from.
Results
Softer coming out than going in, which is not how a shampoo usually behaves on porous hair. No squeaking, no tightness at the scalp.
The ends are still pliable when you reach for the conditioner. Frizz sits lower from the wash step onwards, and the hair holds moisture through the day because it did not start off stripped.
