Which service is indicated for porous hair during chemical texturing?

• A. Chemical texturing service on porous hair
• B. Traditional perm
• C. Keratin straightening
• D. Color treatment only

Answer: (A)

Porosity affects how hair absorbs chemical treatments, so porous hair needs a chemical texturing approach that’s adjusted for its higher absorbency and potential for damage. Using a chemical texturing service that’s indicated for porous hair means lower strength, shorter processing times, and extra conditioning to protect the cuticle while still achieving the desired texture. A traditional perm can be too harsh for porous strands, risking over-processing and breakage. Keratin straightening is a smoothing/maintenance service rather than a true texturing treatment, so it won’t address the texturing needs in the same way. Color treatment alone changes color, not the texture, so it won’t provide the texturing outcome.
