How Often Do You Moisturize Your Hair

[vtoodler]

How often do you apply hair moisturizers to your hair?

And is there a specific way that you do it? (after co-washing, applying oils afterward, wrapping afterward, etc)

I'm natural 4a/4b and wear my hear in two strand twists, rope twists or a twists out on a daily basis. I should moisturize twice a day but for whatever reason I forget in the morning. I use Taliah Waajid Mist Bodifier/water mix and spray it on. I then massage it into my roots which seem to be the driest part. I then seal it with whatever oil blend I have laying around.

I have found that keeping it moisturized daily definitely helps my twists out and reduces my detangling time on shampoo day.

I only apply leave-ins after a wash. I wash twice a week. If my hair feels dry in between, I will add in another co-wash because that's the best way to moisturize MY hair.

 

[LuvlyRain3]

I voted every other day. I only moisturize when I wash/cowash. I baggy just about every night so I don't need to moisturize everyday.

 

[lovenharmony]

Twice a day...once with water and second my leave in.

 

[FRESHstart101]

errrr'day homie ... lol but seriously everyday, my hair gets dry and feels weird if i skip a day so i make it a must to spray some type of water-based mixture in it to bring it back to life. i think i overdue it sometimes but i don't mind the build up.

About every other day.

Yep, same here. I will only use my leave-in after washing and thats it. My hair sheds too badly if I try to moisturize dry hair so I've given up.

When I roller set my hair....once a day

When I rock air dried styles (i.e. braid outs)....twice a day

 

[BlaqBella]

I voted everday (i just don't feel right when I don't/and neither does my hair for the most part). But I like to try for twice a day(too lazy most times).

YouTube - Question and Answer: How often do you moisturize your hair???

I did a video on it. It depends on what the product is and how dry my hair is, sometime the weather too.

 

[LushLox]

I try to do it every day, even if my hair doesn't particularly feel dry but in these instances I'll only use a small amount. I kind of liken it to drinking water - just because you don't feel overly thirsty it doesn't mean that you're not dehydrated. So using the same principle if I hydrate regularly then I shouldn't (in theory) suffer with dry hair.

 

[FebeeSigns]

I use my moisturizing spritz once every night. an hour before I go to bed.

 

[La Colocha]

1x a day, i used to do 1x or 2x a week. While my hair is moisturized my scalp is dry, moisturizing 1x a day keeps it in check. I will just wet my hands and smooth my hair until damp and then use a leave in and seal with an oil or just use leave in alone.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Every day at least once (either after co-washing or on my dry hair)

 

[NikkiQ]

I voted twice a day- light spray with CFC or Infusium in the morning before work and right after I shower.

 

[Oasis]

twice a month.

 

[sunnieb]

Twice daily with ORS Carrot Oil. I always apply to my edges first and then work lightly through the rest of my hair.

 

[lovely_locks]

once to twice a day. I have very dry hair. Plus I co-wash on the daily.

 

[Toy]

I moisturize 2-3x times a week.

 

[RubyWoo]

About once every other day. Some times 2-3x a week depending on how my hair is styled.

 

[Sammaji]

My goal is daily, but it usually ends up being about 4 times per week.

 

[Tangie]

I just wanted to add to my post from yesterday that while normally only moisturize (and seal) about every other day, I moisturize my nape and edges 2x a day.

 

[ParagonTresses]

Since I started my fall/winter reggie of twists/twistouts, I spritz my hair with a liquid leave-in every morning. Every other night I squeeze Quemet's Hydrating Balm into each twist (rubbing creates frizz for me).

 

[iri9109]

everyday...even if its not like a thick creamy moisturizer or leave-in, water touches my hair everyday, usually in the form of a spritz concoction

 

[Americka]

Everyday. I smooth about a quarter size amount throughout my hair. I let it dry and then I seal with sunflower oil.

 

[Carisa]

I co-wash about 2x a week, then I spray on leave in conditioner then i use coconut oil.

 

[makeupgirl]

I was during it everyday up until Monday and only because I'm flat twisting my hair while I go back to wearing wigs for the fall/winter. So tomorrow, I'll take the twist down, shampoo (sulfate free of course), condition for the rest of the day and then rinse the condition out, add leave in, moisturize and seal and re-twist again and wear it like that for a week under the wig.

Now every other night, I''m baggying the end of the twists 2 together and so far so good. The other day I put EVOO and massaged the scalp.

 

[bluediamond0829]

Since Im back to wearing half wigs I moisturize sometimes once to twice a day. I try to before I leave for work and putting on the wig and then once when i get home.

when I was getting my hair pressed my hairstylist told me that wigs can dry out your hair. So im trying to keep it as mosturized as possible to get the most growth.

 

[Shay72]

2x/day. I'm a daily cowasher so I use a spray moisturizer on soaking wet hair and seal with a serum. At night or just when my hair is completely dry I moisturize with a butter,lotion, or cream. I apply in 4 sections.
