How to care for low porosity fine curly hair

I have low porosity, fine curly hair. My hair feels dry, but everything I try weighs it down. What should I use?

With low porosity, fine curls, the cuticle stays more tightly closed, and curls can be easily weighed down. Moisture and products don’t always absorb easily, so buildup can accumulate, leaving curls feeling both dry and heavy.

A lighter approach often helps:

• Lightweight, water-based formulas
• Fewer layers of products
• pH-balanced formulas that absorb into the hair rather than coating it
• Avoiding heavy ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter

A simple place to start is our van + veronica Leave-In + Styler. Thoughtfully formulated to be lightweight, water-based, and pH balanced, they’re free from coconut oil, shea butter, fragrance, sulfates, silicones, and parabens.

For fine, low porosity curls, a simpler routine is often the one that allows curls to feel light, soft, and deeply hydrated 🩵.
