Balancing Moisture and Protein with Hair Moisturizers

There are two things that make the hair shine and keep its strength despite weather changes, treatments, and styling; and there are two ways you can identify which one is lacking. After bathing, try getting a strand of fallen hair; lightly pull the strand and observe. When the hair is spongy or gummy when it’s wet, protein is needed, but when the hair breaks right away and lacks elasticity, then moisture is what you should be concerned about.


Moisture

Hair moisturizers come in different bases. Normally, hair moisturizers are simply water- based products that nourish deep within your strands. However, due to some innovations. Protein based hair moisturizers have been distributed; but these products do not have the moisturizing benefit of moisture-based hair moisturizers that reduce breakage. Never get hair moisturizers that contain ingredients such as petrolatum, mineral oil, or lanolin. These ingredients do not allow moisture to nourish within the strands; instead, they seal the moisture out.


Protein

Protein by nature gives the strength to your hair strands. The benefit of hair moisturizers that have protein nutrients is that the protein nutrients temporarily rebuilds any weakened areas before letting moisture penetrate into the hair strands to complete the damage-repair process. Protein-based hair moisturizers support the hair shaft and seals in the needed amount of moisture to fight breakage and hair fall.


How to balance both?

The relationship of protein and moisture in hair moisturizers is that both work hand in hand to produce a healthy head of hair; loss of one can lead to loss of the other at some amount as they are both shed off especially when the hair is chemically treated. Hair that is rich in protein easily absorbs moisture and water or moisture binds easily with a comprehensive protein structure. Look for hair moisturizers that is best for your hair type and make sure to use them on a regular basis.
