to test the hair to see if its damaged and able to have the treatment done,
if the hair stands up once it have been pulled back by finger and the thumb then the hair is porus.
take small section of hair and push your fingers up the hair shaft if you feel bumps your hair is poroise
A strand test is done during the coloring process by removing some of the color from a small section of hair in order to check it. A dry towel is used to remove the color and if the hair is not at the desired level, the color is reapplied onto the strand used for the test.
Where the porosity is greater
They should make two tests. One is a patch test to be sure you're not sensitive to the products. The other is a curl test to see how well your hair will take curl from whatever perm solution they're thinking of using.
yes.... it is an answer for porosity....
a porosity test is done while doing consultation with the client to show how much moisture the hair can absorb.
Porosity tests are carried out to assess the condition of the cuticle layer of the hair.

What is porosity ? And how can it affect hair color
The reason why a porosity test is important is because hair that is more porous will "suck up" color more quickly than less porous hair. This being said, if the hair is not evenly porous, some parts may be darker than others and vice versa. To test the porosity, simply examine the quality of the hair in your hand. If the ends are severely brittle and porous, you might want to suggest a haircut after the service. Or, to make the porosity more even, apply a developer first, leave on for five minutes (don't wash it out), and then mix the desired color with developer and apply evenly.

The cuticle, which is the outermost layer of the hair shaft.
Hair has different types of porosity. Porosity is the amount of moisture that the hair is able to absorb. There are a lot of factors that affects the porosity of the hair such as hair colors, perms, relaxers and other things. The more the hair is expose to these factors affects the overall porosity of the hair. The Porosity are Resistant porosity, normal, or extreme. Extreme porosity will relate to damaged hair that are unable to take color very well or it will fade faster or often. That means that the cuticle is missing and the hair is badly damaged.
Test results, such as porosity and elasticity of the hair, can indicate how the hair will react to the coloring service. This information helps the hairstylist choose the right products and techniques to achieve the desired color without damaging the hair. Test results also help in predicting the longevity and vibrancy of the color.
