What does it do for my hair (Humectants)

Simply put these are moisturizers that also helps your hair hold to the moisture (or water) in the air better. They are very common in hair and skin products. You will see them in products aimed at dry hair/skin.

This is what I go from reading the two articles below:

          http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/curl-products/curlchemist-what-are-humectants

          http://www.curlynikki.com/2012/12/humectants-weather-and-hair-care-part-1.html

Some examples of natural humectants I found are:

  • Honey
  • Glycerin (vegetable)
  • Aloe Vera
