HAIR MOSITURE TREATMENT RETENTION - PART 1
Moisture retention is the ability for your hair to stay hydrated in between wash days.
The reason curly hair has a harder time staying hydrated when compared to straight hair is because the natural oils produced on our scalps can’t travel down the strands of our hair as easily due to the coiled shape of the hair shaft.
Best Methods to Keep Natural (curly) Hair Moisturized & Hydrated
Natural (curly)hair is dry because our scalp that produces natural oils do not slide down our hair shafts easily as it would for people with straight hair. So these natural oils tend to just sit on the scalp, building up and being all flaky.
On the other hand, people whose scalps don't produce as much natural oils/sebum as they should do tend to have dry scalp.
This is where a good moisturizing routine comes into the picture. Moisturizing your natural hair helps to seal in moisture into your hair strands, so your kinky curls stay hydrated and flourishing. To keep those curls popping, here are 22 best methods to keep your natural hair moisturized.
- Your hair needs water
- Wash your protective styles
- Oil your scalp
- Use the hot oil treatment
- Moisturize your natural hair with sealants
- Avoid over styling your hair (less manipulation)
- Using the LOC/LCO method

- Moisturizing with just oil and water.
- Only use water-based moisturizers
- Pre-pooing your natural hair
- Find out what your hair needs
