Porosity for curly hair indicates the ability of curls to absorb and retain moisture. Hair can have low, medium, or high porosity, and a person with curly hair may have a combination of these. Damaged hair or hair subjected to chemical treatments is often high porosity, which is why most products intended for these types of hair are formulated to strengthen and repair them.

The Curly Girl Method is one of the various hair care regimes specifically created for naturally curly hair. It includes the use of products approved by the Curly Girl Method, which exclude the use of certain ingredients such as sulfates, silicones, and drying alcohol. The Curly Girl Method, or CGM, can be adapted to fit into any routine for curly hair!

Since type 4 curls tend to suffer from dryness, the LOC method, which stands for Liquid Cream Oil (LCO, or Liquid Cream Gel - LOG), is the process by which styling products are applied to keep the hair hydrated. Using a combination of water, leave-in conditioner, curl cream, oils, butters, or gel helps to seal in moisture.
