In this final part of our series, we are highlighting why moisture matters, and how our Hydrate Me range delivers lasting hydration for every curl type.
What is the Difference Between Hydration & Moisture
When it comes to our hair, understanding the difference between hydration and moisture will make a difference. Ana although they sound similar, they both play a different role in keeping our hair looking and feeling its best.
Hydration is all about adding water to your strands. Think of it as giving your curls a refreshing drink. Hydrating ingredients, also known as humectants, like aloe vera, honey and glycerine, attract water into the hair shaft, helping curls stay plump, elastic, and full of life. Without proper hydration, hair can feel dry, look dull, and lose its natural bounce.
Moisture on the other hand, is what seals the hydration in. It is like putting a lid on your water bottle, and keeping the contents sealed. Moisturising ingredients such as oils and butters, can coat the hair to form a protective layer that prevents water loss, reduces frizz, and enhances softness.
Overall, hydration gives your curls the water they crave, and moisture keeps that water sealed in, ensuring your hair stays nourished, defined and balanced.
Why Moisture is a Must
Curly hair naturally struggles to retain moisture due to its multiple shapes. Regular hydration will help your curls maintain elasticity, shine and softness, reducing frizz and enhancing definition.

Tips to Keep Curls Hydrated
- Apply your leave-in, stylers or curl creams on damp hair to trap in moisture, sealing with an oil to lock everything in.
- Use the LCO method (Leave-In, Cream, Oil) for long-lasting and moisture sealing hydration.
- Protect curls overnight wearing a satin or silk bonnet and pillowcase.
