Steam: Heat from steam relaxes the cuticle, opening up the dead
cells somewhat. This allows water vapor to get into the hair shaft.
A people can try using a handheld steaming device, a heat cap, or
a shower cap to trap steam around the hair.
Humectants: These substances attract and trap moisture. Some
examples of humectants include glycerin, hyaluronic acid,
and honey. Look for shampoos, conditioners, or deep
conditioning treatments that contain these.
Lightweight oils: Products that contain lightweight oils may help
seal in moisture. A 2003 studyTrusted Source found that out of
mineral, sunflower, and coconut oil, the latter was best at
penetrating the hair shaft. However, a more recent studyTrusted
Source found that using coconut oil led to no improvement in hair
health. Also, bear in mind that oils repel water, so it may help to
use a light oil sparingly, and only when also using steam or a
humectant.
