Hair is hydroscopic, meaning that water molecules are let off from the air humidity. Sometimes the water evaporates from not only the outside but the inner layer of the hair as well.
This mostly occurs from environmental impact on the hair, which can then cause a loss in elasticity, leaving the hair feeling rough and dry. In this case a moisturising shampoo will almost definitely benefit the situation.
An ingredient like cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine is very useful in moisturising shampoos, mainly because it is very mild so will not irritate the scalp too much. It also improves the softness, conditioning and stability functions of the hair when used. Dimethicone is also a very important ingredient. It is used in hair care products to coat the surface of the hair and provide lubrication.
This helps to improve combing and detangling which is always harder when the hair is wet. This then reduces hair loss and prevents damage on the hair shaft. It is also beneficial because it is heat and humidity resistant, so it protects the hair from outside influences and hair dryers or straighteners.
Avocado oil is one of the natural oils that is most easily absorbed by the skin and transported deep into the tissue; its hydrating properties make it perfect for dry and dehydrated skin.
This applies to the hair as well, for any hair that is feeling rough, dry or over processed Avocado oil will help to restore the moisture by absorbing into the hair. It is also known as mono-unsaturated oil and is very useful when treating sun or climate damaged hair that is dehydrated and undernourished, as it helps with regeneration and rejuvenation.
Silk amino acids are obtained by the hydrolysis of silk which is a natural protein fibre and is naturally hydroscopic so it has excellent binding qualities to condition the hair.
Because Panthenol binds well to the hair follicles and attracts moisture from the air it is extremely helpful. It lubricates without feeling greasy and also smoothes roughened hair surfaces, making them easier and shinier so as to give a more nourished effect once used.
All of these above ingredients when used in a product can really help to restore the moisture back into the hair and help to keep it well nourished and feeling a lot silkier and smooth.
The most important thing though, is that the ingredients provide a protective coating and maintain this throughout the day.
