Confused about Porosity

Hello. I hope someone can help me identity the porosity of my hair, as I really don't have a clue.
Yesterday I tried the porosity check with a few strands of hair by placing them in a bowl of water. Two strands sank, another sort of did, and the last one remain trapped on the surface.
When I cleanse and style my hair, it takes hours to try, on average 4-5 hours, sometimes longer. When I have coloured it in the past, my hair sucks the colour up so quickly and I always get a darker shade that I wanted.
Any ideas? :dontknow:

If your hair is consistently absorbing hair dye overly quickly, that sounds like higher porosity.
