How does porosity affect my product choices?

I recently learned about porosity, but I don’t fully understand how it affects the types of products I should be using. Should I be avoiding certain ingredients or focusing on others depending on whether my hair is low or high porosity?

    Depending on your porosity, you need to choose more heavy or more lightweight products. High porosity hair absorbs product quickly but loses moisture fast. Low porosity hair needs lightweight products and heat to help absorption.
