How to Moisturize Hair Naturally at Home

There are many ways to moisturize your natural hair. You can use oils, butter, creams, or even just your hands. Here are some tips on how to moisturize natural hair at home:

There are so many options available when it comes to moisturizing natural hair. You can choose from products that contain shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and more. Some also contain other ingredients like vitamin E and aloe vera extract which will make your hair softer and smoother.
Oils are another great way to keep the moisture in your natural hair. You can use essential oils like lavender or tea tree oil on damp hair before blow drying it or using a flat iron on dry hair for an extra boost of moisture.
Butters and creams work wonders for hydration because they coat your strands with a layer of moisture that gets absorbed by the cuticle or sebum glands in your scalp, leaving them looking soft and shiny.
Water is the best natural moisturizer for your hair. You can use plain water, but you should also look for filtered or bottled water that does not contain any unnecessary chemicals. Avoid using tap water that may contain chlorine or other chemicals that could damage your hair.
The oils in coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter are all great moisturizers for dry ends and damaged strands. Just apply these oils directly on your hair and let them sit there for a while before washing it out. These oils will penetrate deep into the scalp and leave your hair feeling soft and hydrated.
Jojoba oil is another great moisturizer that can be used on dry ends to restore moisture balance in your scalp and prevent further damage from occurring. You can also add jojoba oil to your homemade shampoo if you want to make sure that you are getting enough moisture into your strands each time you wash them.

How Do I Rehydrate My 4C Hair?

Deep conditioner. Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, like the ones from Lee Stafford (a brand made for black women). You can also use a deep conditioning mask if you have time to commit to it.
Hair oil or butter, such as SheaMoisture’s Argan Oil ($10) or Aveda’s Wild Rosemary Mint Conditioner ($20). Both are great at moisturizing your hair while still leaving it manageable enough that you don’t need any kind of styling product on top of them.
Hair balm with coconut oil in it—this one is by SheaMoisture and comes in several different scents like lavender tea tree scalp therapy oil; rosemary mint scalp therapy nourishing balm; peppermint verbena oatmeal cleanser; cocoa butter lotion…so many choices! The best part about this product line is that all their formulas contain no sulfates which means they won’t strip away moisture from your scalp or leave behind residue after washing out later down the line so there will always be ample supply available when needed most often throughout year-round activities such as vacations abroad where locals might not have access.

How Often Should I Wet My Natural Hair?

It depends on the type of hair you have. If you have 4A/B or 2B hair, it’s recommended that your style stay dry for at least two weeks each month. On the other hand, if you have 4C or 3A/4B hair types. Then it’s best to wash them every other week with water only (no shampoo).

Best Moisturizer for Natural Hair

I’ve been natural for a few years now, and I’m still learning about how to take care of my hair. One thing that I’ve discovered is that the right moisturizer for natural hair can be just as important as the products you use on your scalp. While it’s true that most salons will give you shampoo and conditioner when they trim or color your hair, those products often aren’t enough to keep your strands healthy. That’s why it’s important to find something that works well with your natural texture and style preferences (like mine!). So here are 10 of my favorite moisturizer for natural hair:

#1. Retention/Strength Dual Treatment

This is a great product for all hair types, whether you have naturally curly or kinky hair. It’s especially useful for those who use heat tools regularly or are prone to breakage because it helps protect your strands from heat damage and provides the moisture that keeps them healthy. The cream also helps prevent future breakage by sealing in moisture while you sleep. This can be used as a leave-in conditioner or as a deep treatment before washing your hair in the morning—it’s up to you.

#2. Double Butter Rich Daily Moisturizer

This is a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that can be used as both a daily moisturizer and a deep conditioner. It also works well as a leave-in conditioner for curly hair, or you can use its thickening properties to define curls.

#3. Shea Butter & Pure Coconut Oil Leave-In Conditioner

This leave-in conditioner is made with 100% pure shea butter, which helps nourish your hair and keep it soft. It also has coconut oil, which keeps your scalp and hair follicles moist naturally. This combination of ingredients makes the product ideal for people who want to avoid chemical hair products. The Shea Butter & Pure Coconut Oil Leave-In Conditioner comes in a spray bottle that can be used on wet or dry hair; just apply before styling with heat tools or styling accessories like flat irons or curling irons. If you have curly or wavy textured hair that needs more moisture than what this product provides (or if you’re just looking to add some shine), try using it as an overnight treatment.

#4. Alikay Naturals Shea Yogurt Hair Moisturizer

Alikay Naturals’ Shea Yogurt Hair Moisturizer is a great daily moisturizer for natural hair. It has shea butter, yogurt, and honey that condition and moisturize dry hair. It is 100% natural and contains no parabens or sulfates. This makes it a great choice for those who want to keep their skin healthy without using harsh chemicals in their products.

#5. Natural Thirst Quenching Avocado Moisturizer

Natural Thirst Quenching Avocado Moisturizer is an oil-free moisturizer that is ideal for anyone who wants to keep their skin looking hydrated and fresh. It’s made with avocado, jojoba oil, and coconut oil—which are all great hydrators—to help your skin feel soft and smooth. This product also has aloe vera leaf juice to soothe any dry spots on your face or body after washing it off.

It is available in two sizes: a 1 oz (30 mL) bottle and a 2 oz (60 mL) bottle. The smaller size should last you around 4 months, while the larger one will last almost a year. It can be used by both men and women; however, if you have sensitive skin, this might not be the best choice for you since it contains some ingredients like beeswax, which may irritate some people’s skin types more than others do.

#6. Tgin Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer

Tgin Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer is a luxurious formula that works to hydrate and protect your hair while adding shine. The cream has a light texture, so it doesn’t feel heavy or oily on your skin. It has shea butter and other natural ingredients like coconut oil, vitamin E, aloe vera, and avocado oil to nourish hair from root to tip and make it look healthy.

To use this moisturizer: Apply as you would any other moisturizer (1-2 times per day). If needed, massage in with fingertips until fully absorbed into the scalp before rinsing off with warm water.

#7. Earth’s Enrichments Organic Pomade

Earth’s Enrichments Organic pomade is a moisturizing cream that can be used on all types of hair, including natural and relaxed hair. This product has natural ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and avocado oil that help keep your scalp moist and hydrated all day long. It also works well for curly, straight, and wavy hair because it doesn’t leave your tresses feeling weighed down or greasy, as other products may do.

This pomade is great for colored strands too! I’ve been using it since high school (who am I kidding? College) when my mother gave me her old Target jar… and now I’m hooked.

#8. Moroccanoil Treatment

Moroccanoil Treatment is a great choice for people who want to give their hair shine while also nourishing and conditioning it. This moisturizer comes in a.85-ounce tube and can be used on wet or dry hair. It’s super affordable at just $12 if you shop online or in stores like Target, Ulta Beauty, and Sephora (it’s even sold at Walmart!).

The best part about this product? It smells amazing! You can’t go wrong with the minty scent of Moroccanoil Treatment—you’ll feel like you’re walking through an exotic dessert garden as soon as your hair comes into contact with its sweet-smelling oils. And since it’s so light on the skin, your scalp won’t get irritated by excess moisture either.

#9. Shea Yogurt Moisturizer

Shea butter is a great moisturizer for hair. It can be used as a conditioner, detangler, sealant, or leave-in product. A small amount of shea butter goes a long way. It contains many natural oils that make your hair look healthy and shiny. You can use it as often as you want to help your style last longer.

#10. Gold Series Pro-V Hydrating Butter Cream

Gold Series Pro-V Hydrating Butter Cream is a moisturizing cream that works well on both wet and dry hair. It can be used on natural and relaxed hair, as well as damaged or color-treated hair. This product doesn’t have any parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, or petroleum in it. These are all things that can irritate your scalp or cause grease to build up. The buttery consistency makes it easy to apply without leaving any residue behind when you’re done styling your locks; in fact, Gold Series Pro-V Hydrating Butter Cream has been praised by many reviewers who say they were able to style their curls while applying the product.

If you’re looking for a new moisturizer for natural hair (or even just an alternative to some more conventional products), give Gold Series Pro-V Hydrating Butter Cream a try.

Which Shampoo Is Best for Natural Hair?

It’s important to choose a shampoo that is free of artificial fragrances and dyes, as well as sulfates, silicones, and parabens. Natural ingredients will help keep your hair healthy while protecting it from damage. So, if you’re looking for a shampoo with natural ingredients, try one with oatmeal or coconut oil in it. Oatmeal can be used as a thickening agent, while coconut oil has antibacterial properties that help prevent scalp infections.

What Happens if I Wet My Natural Hair Every Day?

If you wet your hair every single day, it will be dry and brittle. Your hair will break easily, as well as frizzy and dull looking. The texture of your natural hair is very important when it comes to keeping moisture in check. Having healthy, moisturized strands means they’re less likely to break or split off at the root—which means less damage overall.

Why Is My Natural Hair So Dry?

If you have 4C hair, it’s important to moisturize your scalp and the rest of your natural hair. Your scalp is constantly producing sebum, which is a natural oil made by sebaceous glands that protect your skin from bacteria. When there’s not enough moisture on our scalps, it can lead to dryness and breakage in our strands. This is why we need to use products like coconut oil or aloe vera juice regularly—they keep our natural hair soft and supple while also helping prevent breakage.

Summary
