The amount of oil the scalp naturally produces, determines how much moisture the scalp or hair needs. But, no matter what type of scalp or hair you have, at some point you must moisturize. Why should you moisturize your scalp or hair? - When the scalp or hair does not retain enough natural oils, which protect it and the scalp, it can look dry and possibly break. A dry scalp can itch and flake, and those are the two main complaints. The problem can then progress, and the scalp will often feel tight and tender to the touch. In many cases, the amount of oil that reaches the whole strands of the hair depends on the curl pattern. For instance, with tightly curly hair, the sebum (oil) sometimes has trouble getting to the ends, which can cause dryness. Many times, this is the reason curly or natural hair is much dryer than other types of hair.
Moisturizing products can raise moisture levels. Depending on the scalp or hair's condition, moisturizers can strengthen, hydrate, and prevent breakage. If your hair has been damaged by coloring or too much blow-drying and chemical straightening, it probably absorbs moisture very fast. In this case, hair can be more porous and needs more moisture. However, a head of hair that is normal and has not been damaged may only need average amounts of moisture. Warning: Do not over-moisturize- overuse is as bad as not using any, so don’t slather it on, or use more than needed. If you apply too much moisture, your hair can become over coated, soft enough to break/split or even become dull over-time. Too much moisture can also lead to clogged pores and blackheads, which can slow down your hair growth. Furthermore, dead skin cells will get stuck, and they’ll have a harder time sloughing off if your skin is oversaturated. Furthermore, check your scalp and hair periodically, find ways to keep it hydrated, and adjust moisturizing usage on the basis of your scalp and hair needs. Eventually, you will be able to control your scalp and hair results. To Do:
