As you all know, keeping your body (skin, internal organs, & hair) hydrated and moisturized is extremely important. Moisture is used to add elasticity to the hair and skin; thus giving it the ability to stretch and return to it's original size. The essence of moisture is of course water. So to moisturize, a person must use water-based hair care products; preferably, with water as the first ingredient on the product ingredients list.
Better yet, purchase a spray bottle, add water and a little bit of olive oil and spray your hair with the mixture every single night before your go to bed; and, when you wake up in the morning. You can also steam the hair. This can be done either buying a steamer or by sitting in the bathroom while running hot water, or by just bathing without a shower cap. Another method a person can moisturize their hair is by investing in good conditioners (for co-washing which is washing the hair with conditioner only), deep conditioners and leave in conditions. You will see a significant difference in the elasticity and overall health of your hair in a matter of days.

Those with curly/ kinky hair should be more conscientious when it comes to moisture because those are the hair textures that lose moisture the fastest.
Remember: Stay away from products that claim they moisturize but contain PETROLEUM, MINERAL OIL, and LANOLIN. These products clog pores which can result in slower hair growth; and, coat the hair keeping moisture out.
Also: Remember to SEAL after moisturizing your hair. Sealing when a person coats their hair with an essential oil (castor, rosemary, olive, coconut, sweet almond, etc) and/or all natural butter (shea, mango, cupuacu, etc) of choice to seal after adding moisture to their hair and scalp
