How To Moisturize For Hair Growth
The BIGGEST enemy to Natural Hair Growth is DRYNESS!!! This is because natural hair is naturally dry because the oils and sebum that our scalp produces has a difficult time traveling all the way down the length of our hair due to its curly, coily, or kinky texture.

Think about a regular vs silly straw. It takes longer for the drink to reach your mouth with a silly straw due to its shape vs a regular straw. Therefore our hair texture contribute to dryness.
Most of us believe our issues with hair growth lie with the scalp. So we spend hundreds of dollars on "hair growth oils" and massage our scalps until our fingers fall off!!!
In reality, most of us are growing hair from our scalp perfectly fine at an appropriate rate. The issue is the lack of care for the hair that grows. This leads to dryness which produces breakage and prevents us from retaining length.
When you hear the comment, "My hair isn't growing. It has stayed the same length for years.", most likely their hair has always been growing, but has been breaking off at the same rate so the length hasn't changed.
Therefore the key to growth for most of us is combating dryness. We do this by keeping our hair hydrated and moisturized to strengthen our hair so it does not break.
Think about an uncooked versus cooked pasta noodle. Because uncooked noodles are dry with no moisture, they are very easy to snap in half. A cooked noodle has moisture so it has more elasticity and strength making it difficult to break, similar to what happens when moisture is introduced to our hair.
Here are a few tips to Moisturize for Hair Growth
1. Apply Sealing products to lock moisture into the hair. Sometimes we use hydrating products but our hair gets dry very quickly. Water and oil do not mix so applying a butter/oil based product after applying a hydrating product helps to keep moisture from escaping for a long period of time. Look for thick, creamy products with ingredients like shea butter, mango butter, and oils. A great sealing product is our Hydrating Hair Butter!!!
2. Wear Low Manipulation Hairstyles. Every time we touch our hairwe are removing moisture which is sometimes unavoidable such as wash days. Wearing hairstyles that prevent you from having to constantly touch, style, or care for your hair is a great way to retain moisture! Ex. Braids, Mini Twists, Locs, Wigs, etc.
3. Use hydrating, water-based products. It is very important that the products we are using to moisturize our hair have enough hydration. Therefore, before purchasing a hydrating product such as a leave-in conditioner or deep conditioner, always look to make sure one of the first few ingredients is water. This is a good sign to determine whether your products can hydrate and moisturize your hair.
We recommend our Hydrating Hair Butter which helps to hydrate and seal moisture into the hair to promote length retention!!!
Recap
Our biggest struggle when it comes to hair growth is dryness, so it's important to make sure your hair is always hydrated and moisturized to strengthen your hair and retain length. While focusing on scalp health is important, be sure not to neglect the health of your actual hair to avoid experiencing excessive breakage leading to a lack of growth. Using sealing/hydrating products and wearing low manipulation styles are great ways to ensure your hairis hydrated so that you can reach your hair growth goals!!!

One thing I have noticed is that my hair loves butter. When I use oil, it doesn’t feel good but using butter keeps my hair moisturised for days and I love it.
