Taking Care of Dull and Porous Hair
10 Quick Tips by Hélène Clauderer

Hair that is both dull and porous has a deteriorated cuticle. You will need to treat it with more care!

First, avoid any product containing silicon or paraffin. Although those substances may make the hair shine in the short run, it will make it duller in the long run!

Only apply soft shampoo, but change it once in a while. The hair is shinier if it is not always washed with the same product.

Here is a good alternative: every other time, use an egg with some rum. Lecithin, of which the egg is made, takes the dust in and keeps it.

Go easy on anti-dandruff shampoo, volume generators, untangling products, etc. They all contain ingredients that will eventually make your hair's keratin duller. 

After washing, rinse your hair thoroughly with tepid water. Stop when you feel your hair "screeching" under your fingers.

Finish by rinsing your hair with cold water, to which you should add cider vinegar or lemon. Then with a bore silk brush, wreathe your hair. Those 2 tips will help to make their cuticle's scales more flattened, and give them shine.

If you hair is very porous, use a mask made of organic keratin (chitin) in order to reinforce it and make it less permeable to humidity.

Make yourself a natural brilliantine: wet your hair with spring water, and add a drop of olive oil (or more, depending, on your type of hair). Then rub your hand together, and apply the mix to your hair.
