Finding the right moisturizing hair care products can do wonders for those who struggle with dry and lifeless hair. With the right moisturizing products, you can give your hair new life and make it feel softer, smoother and healthier. But what exactly makes hair care products moisturizing, and what ingredients should you look for? In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to build a moisturizing hair care routine that suits your needs, and highlight some of The Everys' best products to help you achieve that shiny, soft hair.
Why does hair need moisturizing?
Dry hair can be caused by a number of factors, including
- Environmental impacts such as sun, wind and temperature changes
- Heat damage from styling tools such as straighteners and hairdryers
- Chemical treatments such as bleaching, coloring or permanent
- Lack of natural oils on the scalp, especially for those with curly or thick hair
When hair becomes dry, it loses its elasticity and strength, making it more prone to breakage and frizz. Moisturizing hair care products help keep hair soft, flexible and shiny by adding and locking moisture into the hair strands.
Key ingredients in moisturizing hair care products
To choose the right moisturizing products, look for these effective ingredients that really make a difference:
- Hyaluronic acid: Acts as a moisture magnet and helps hair retain moisture.
- Provitamin B5 (Panthenol): A vitamin that both adds and binds moisture to the hair strands.
- Natural oils such as avocado oil, argan oil and coconut oil, which nourish and soften hair.
- Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing and moisturizing properties, perfect for both hair and scalp.
- Glycerin: Draws moisture from the environment and binds it to the hair.
Tips for a moisturizing hair care routine
Want softer and more moisturized hair? Here are some steps you can follow to get maximum hydration in your routine:
1. use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
Start with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that are specially formulated to provide moisture and nourishment. Caring Shampoo and Caring Conditioner from The Every contains hyaluronic acid and avocado oil, which help retain moisture and leave hair soft and supple without weighing it down.
2. add a deep-acting hair mask
A hair mask once a week gives your hair an extra boost of moisture and nourishment. Try this Caring Masque from The Every which contains shea butter and hyaluronic acid to provide hair with intense moisture while strengthening it from within.
3. apply a moisturizing serum or infusion
For extra care and moisture, a serum or infusion may be what you need. Hydrate Infusion from The Every contains goji berries and pomelo extract and can be mixed with shampoo or conditioner to give your hair an incredible moisture boost.
4. finish with a light hair oil
A lightweight hair oil can help to lock in moisture and add shine without weighing hair down. Renewal Hair Oil is a favorite that contains argan oil and rosehip oil and works perfectly to protect hair and reduce frizz.
5. Protect hair from external stresses
Sun, heat and environmental pollution can dry out your hair, so it's important to protect it daily. A heat protectant like Nourishing Heat Protection from The Every protects against heat damage while adding moisture and preventing frizz.
How to choose the right moisturizing products for your hair type
Different hair types may need different types of moisturizing products to really get the desired effect. Here are some tips based on hair type:
- Curly or wavy hair: Curly hair is often drier because natural oils don't diffuse as easily through the hair shaft. Opt for a moisturizing routine with products that keep hair soft and define curls. Curl & Wave Infusion from The Every contains hyaluronic acid and algae extract to provide lasting moisture to curls.
- Thin or fine hair: Fine hair can easily become heavy from too much product. Use lightweight products that moisturize without weighing hair down, like The Everys Invisible Dry Shampoo, which refreshes and adds volume without drying it out.
- Thick or coarse hair: This hair type may need extra moisture to avoid frizz and keep hair soft. Use oils and moisturizing masks regularly to keep hair healthy and supple.
