The benefits and why you should moisturize your hair

Prevents Breakage

I know you’ve heard this way many times but I’ll repeat it, ” dry hair easily tangles and is more prone to breakage. If your hair has been breaking a lot, review how you moisturize and if that’s working for your hair. Moisturizing your hair as needed helps keep it soft and reducing breakage and hair loss.

Reduces Frizz

Type 4 hair is prone to frizz. How does frizzy hair look like? Frizzy hair doesn’t look as cute since it’s got flyaways that need to be “tamed” but don’t let frizz bother you cos it’s bound to happen. Moisturizing your hair can help reduce frizz by giving your hair the hydration it deserves and hold your curls together.

Enhances Curl Definition

Moisturized hair is more defined, has popping and bouncy curls. When hair is dry, it tends to lose its curl pattern, you’ll notice it’s more straight than moisturized hair. Moisturizing your hair helps activate and enhance your hair’s curl pattern. Some moisturizers/ leave-in conditioner do give your curls a pop and if you want your curls bouncy and popping more, you can add curling cream to your moisturizing products and regimen.

Adds Shine

Healthy hair is shiny, and moisturizing your hair regularly can help add shine and restore your hair’s natural. When hair is well-moisturized, the hair cuticles lie flat, reflecting light and giving your hair a healthy, glossy appearance.

Promotes Length retention

Moisturizing your hair regularly can also promote hair growth and help retain length from your growth. When hair is well-moisturized, it is less prone to breakage and less breakage means more length retention. Moisturizing your hair can also help nourish your scalp, promoting healthy hair growth from the roots.

Moisturizing Tips

Use Water-Based Products

Water is the best moisturizer for hair, be sure to use water-based products to properly hydrate your strands. Look for hair products that contain water as the first ingredient and other moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera juice avoid using products that contain drying alcohols

Seal in Moisture

After applying a moisturizer, don’t stop at that unless you don’t mind moisturizing a thousand times a day. Sealants will keep the moisture locked in for longer. Sealants can either be butters and/or oils.
