How to Build a Haircare Routine for High Porosity Hair, Curls and Coils

Understanding your hair’s porosity is one of the best things you can do for your hair health—especially if you have curls or coils. High porosity hair, often seen in curly and coily textures, absorbs moisture quickly but also loses it just as fast. This means it needs extra TLC to stay hydrated, strong, and defined. The good news? With the right routine and a few key products—like Daily Dose Clean Moisture Leave-In Conditioner and Clean Moisture Deep Conditioner—you can help your hair thrive.

What is High Porosity Hair?

High porosity hair has raised or damaged cuticles that allow moisture to enter easily but make it hard to retain. This can happen naturally or due to heat styling, chemical treatments, or environmental stress. If your hair dries quickly, tangles often, frizzes easily, or feels dry even after applying product, you likely have high porosity hair.

Step 1: Gentle Cleansing

Start your routine with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser. High porosity hair needs to be cleansed without stripping it of the little moisture it has. Look for shampoos that hydrate while they clean. Avoid harsh clarifiers unless there’s product buildup.

Step 2: Deep Conditioning is Non-Negotiable

Moisture is key, and this is where the Daily Dose Clean Moisture Deep Conditioner shines. Its rich, nourishing formula penetrates deep into the hair shaft to hydrate, repair, and restore. Use it once a week (or more often if your hair feels particularly dry). Apply generously from mid-length to ends, detangle gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb, and leave it in for 10–15 minutes before rinsing.

This step helps strengthen the hair, reduce breakage, and improve elasticity—something high porosity curls and coils desperately need.

Step 3: Lock in Moisture with a Leave-In

After deep conditioning, high porosity hair needs a lightweight but effective leave-in conditioner to help seal the cuticle and retain moisture. Enter the Daily Dose Clean Moisture Leave-In Conditioner. This lightweight formula is intensely hydrating without weighing hair down, making it perfect for curls and coils.

Spray it on damp hair, focusing on the ends and areas that tend to get the driest. Not only does it hydrate, but it also improves manageability, enhances shine, and provides detangling support—great for preventing breakage.

Step 4: Seal and Style

To seal in all that hydration, use an oil or cream-based product as your final step. For styling, opt for curl creams, gels, or mousses designed for high porosity or textured hair. Protective styles are also a great option to lock in moisture and reduce manipulation.

Final Tips

• Avoid excessive heat and chemical processing.
• Use a satin or silk pillowcase or bonnet to reduce friction while sleeping.
• Refresh your curls between washes with water and a few spritzes of leave-in conditioner.

Consistency is key, and with the right products like Daily Dose’s Clean Moisture Deep Conditioner and Leave-In Conditioner, your high porosity hair will be soft, defined, and healthy. Curls and coils deserve moisture that lasts—give them the dose they need.
