Hair Porosity Test: How to Actually Find Yours (and Why the Float Test Isn’t Enough)
You’ve probably seen the video. Someone drops a single strand of hair into a glass of water, waits a few seconds, and declares their porosity like it’s a blood type. Low. Medium. High. Done. Except you tried it three times and got three different answers. Or your hair floated for a while, then slowly sank, […]

Wolf Cut vs. Jellyfish Cut: How They’re Different, How They Wear, and How to Choose
