How To Moisturize Dry Natural Hair

How To Moisturize Type 4 Hair Properly.

1. Properly cleanse your hair. Stop being afraid of shampoos.

2. Water is the major source of moisture and hydration.

3. Use Water-Based Products. If water isn't the first ingredient, then it's not moisturizing.

4. Most important tip know your hair’s porosity because this tells you how your hair will react to certain products and how to properly moisturize and seal your hair.

5. Seal in the moisture with oils and butters to create a barrier so that the water doesn't evaporate from the hair.
