Increase Hair Moisture: Water Your Hair Like a Plant

Hey HoneyVerans!
Your hair LOVES MOISTURE! Like a plant needs water, so does your hair. To grow beautifully, especially if moisturized with the right product. Here are a few pointers: 

  1. Stop using sulfates

This is a no-brainer. Sulfates are harsh detergents in many shampoos (and laundry soap) that strip the hair of sebum, the natural oil our scalp produces to moisturize itself. If you want to retain moisture, you need to avoid sulfate shampoos.
  1. Start co-washing

Sometimes, even sulfate-free can be too drying for curly hair. Using conditioner to wash the scalp is an alternative to shampoo. You can use any daily conditioner or you can buy specially formulated co-washes. Co-washing moisturizes dry hair and prevents it from becoming stripped of its natural oils.
  1. Deep condition regularly

I am sure that many of you already deep condition, but here’s the thing, it’s time to buy a real deep conditioner. A lot of curlies like to save money by making DIY masks or using regular conditioner to deep condition, but no mixture will do what a specially formulated deep conditioner can do. Splurge on a good deep conditioner, your hair needs it! And although deep conditioning is recommended once or twice a week, it’s okay to deep condition your hair every time you shower. For a deeper condition, put on a shower cap to trap the heat in. (Our VeraGrow Scalp Tonic Spray is an easy and great way to moisturize and deep condition daily).

  1. Seal with oil

Curly hair tends to be dry because the hair cuticle is naturally raised thus leading to moisture loss. Help your dry hair retain moisture by oiling it immediately after showering. The oil seals in all the water and conditioner from your wash and go and create a barrier to prevent moisture loss and promote shine. Any oil is fine, coconut oil is very popular for its strengthening properties. (...and blended with castor oil you get even more benefits from our Castor-Coconut Hair Oil)

  1. Condition everyday

You have heard people say to not shampoo every day, but no one ever said you can’t condition every day. If your hair becomes parched by the end of the day then it won’t hurt for you to give your hair the thirst-quenching moisture that it needs. You can just jump into the shower and condition your hair every morning. Conditioning every day will also lead to hair with less tangles! (Use VeraGrow Scalp Tonic Spray to CONDITION DAILY)
  1. Sleep with satin

Protect your hair overnight to retain moisture. Sleep on a satin pillow case or sleep with a satin bonnet. Cotton is very absorbent and can steal the moisture from your hair while you sleep. Satin is a sleek material that won’t cause frizz and will help with moisture retention.
