One of the first things we preach at Silkpress Express is the importance of moisture and
hydration for all hair types. This is because moisture is a massive element in creating
gorgeous, healthy, frizz-free curls & coils, and can prolong the length of time retaining a silk press. However, like most things in life, it’s all about balance. Most people start their hair care
severally lacking in moisture, which (I believe) is why our talented stylists always remind and mention the importance of moisture and hydration within an appointment. But it’s very possible to over-moisturize your hair also and end up doing more harm than good.
In this post, I will share how you can tell when your hair needs moisture, how to add some to your hair, and signs your hair may have too much moisture.
The biggest sign that your hair needs moisture is frizz. Frizz happens when your hair isn’t hydrated enough or isn’t holding on to moisture like it needs to be. The frizzier your hair is, the more moisture it needs. Aside from frizz, you can also tell your hair needs moisture based on how it behaves. If it feels dry or can tangle easily or just feel generally weak, that’s a sign your hair likely needs moisture. It also may not be curling quite as well or holding a curl throughout the day as it has in the past.
How to add moisture to your hair you may ask? I've compiled a list of to-dos in order to better retain or gain moisture to your hair.
To Do:
Deep condition and Hair mask regularly (Tropical Mist Leave-In and Hydro-Boost Mask)
Sleep with a satin bonnet or pillow (to retain moisture)
Trim your ends regularly (avoiding breakage and potential dryness)
Sealing the moisture in the hair shaft with natural oils (castor oil, avocado oil, etc)
Because moisture is so important, it can be easy to overthink that the more you hydrate your hair, the happier your hair will be. But as we touched on this earlier, it may take a lot, but it is VERY possible to over-moisturize your hair. If you notice your hair is very soft, limp, lifeless, and maybe even a little mushy, you likely have too much moisture in your hair. Your hair may also have curls that are flat and elongated with very little bounce.
With this in mind, our salon offers a healthy balanced Tropical Mist Leave-In Spray and Hydro-Boost Mask that will correct the moisture you need for your healthy hair journey.
