Professional grade Shampoos for low porosity hair
I love this because it uses a pH-optimized formula to gently open the cuticle and a clinical-grade surfactant to remove metals and oils that cause hair fall and block moisture. This is especially good for low porosity hair because cuticles are tightl...
PEPTIDE PREP™ Clarifying Detox Shampoo - K18 Biomimetic Hairscience | Sephora
One of the best options for low porosity hair that lacks volume. It uses a synthetic molecule that mimics silicone (giving it slip or shine without building up and blocking the already tightly closed cuticles).
Living proof Full Shampoo
Best for low porosity because it is silicone-free and designed for hair that needs high moisture, while being light weight. Since low porosity gets product build up very quickly, this is a gem
Hydrate Sheer Shampoo For Fine, Dry Color Treated Hair - Pureology
This is cost effective option using an amino acid (Arginine) that helps blood flow to the scalp. This is good for hair growth. It uses argan oil for cleansing the hair strands as well which is great for low porosity hair. Only draw back is that it ha...
All Soft Argan Oil Shampoo For Dry Damaged Hair | Redken
Conditioners for low porosity hair
Great for sensitive scalp and people with inflammation scalp. It also have panthenol for extra deep penetration.

BOOST Apple Cider Vinegar Silicone-Free Conditioner
Moisturisers for low porosity hair
I like this because its silicon free, doesnt cause much build up and because it is a "Milk," the oil is emulsified into water, it's able to seep through the small cuticles of low porosity hair instead just coating it. It also uses xylitol for deep hy...
MIZANI 25 Benefit Miracle Milk Leave in Conditioner (8.5 oz) Heat Protectant & Hair Detangler Spray.
Pureology Color Fanatic 21 Essential Benefits Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray 6.7 oz
The lite version specifically is formulated for fine strands and low porosity hair. As a fine hair person it stops the husky feeling of build up.
It's a 10 Ten Miracle Leave-In LITE (10 oz XXL Large Size) Light Hair Leave In Conditioner Treatment Spray for Hair Volume
This one is high-end professional, no wax, no silicon etc. It helps with Frizz and I really like the scent.
