How to Moisturize Hair Properly(When Not Protective Styling)

Imagine this scenario: Take some amount of leave in conditioner, rub it all over hair, then seal with oil.

And that's all for moisturizing? Really?

Getting as much moisture as possible is really important for the well being of our hair. Most people go about the wrong way when they add moisture to their hair.

This post is focused on moisturizing hair when it isn’t in protective style but running wild and free.

Try this the next time you’re moisturizing:

1.  Section, section, and section: Dividing your hair into smaller sections is key. Moisturizing hair in smaller sections gets more moisture to the strands than doing so in bigger sections. You could section it into 4 parts or more.
2. Take down each section, one at a time, and apply the conditioner from root to tip, concentrating on the ends.
3. Please don’t be stingy with the conditioner, be generous and distribute it evenly by combing hair after applying.
4. Now it’s time to seal in all that moisture, to prevent the moisture from evaporating from the hair shaft. Use your preferred oil or butter to seal in.

Tip: You could put the conditioner in a spray bottle mixed with a little water, for easier application.
