Is Your Hair Thirsty?

I know you have been told that oil and water do not mix, but hear me out! For those of us who are not sure why our hair does not retain as much moisture as it needs, the topic of hydration and moisture sound like a foreign language. Porosity? Density? Retention? What is even going on???? To understand how your hair retains moisture, take a moment to observe how your hair responds to water alone. Take a strand of hair and place it into a cup of water. Observe whether the hair sinks, stays in place, or floats.

If your hair sinks to the bottom, your hair absorbs water easily, which indicates high porosity.

If the strand floats toward the middle, the cuticles are loose, allowing water to be absorbed and retained indicating medium porosity.

If the strand floats the to surface, it is having difficulty absorbing and/or retaining water, indicating low porosity.

 

Understanding this key element of your hair’s behavior will help you develop a more comprehensive care routine. It is important to tailor your hair care routine to your own personal hair health needs. It is helpful to seek guidance from others to learn best practices, but even more importantly, that you test how these methods work with your hair.

 

 Bel Ren’s Rosemary Moisture Mist contains vegetable glycerin, which is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin and hair easily. The rosewater works as an antibacterial as well to promote healthy blood flow and a healthy scalp.

The dynamic partner of the Rosemary Moisture Mist is the Aloe & Avocado Conditioning Milk which also contains vegetable glycerin for optimal moisture retention. These two make an excellent team for enhancing your hair’s moisture retention and maximum hydration!
