Once you cleanse, condition and hydrate your hair, you must lock that moisture into your hair. The goal is to keep your hair luxurious and soft for at least 3 days, before you need to apply more product. The best way to keep the moisture from escaping your hair so quickly is to use a sealant product.
---SEALANT
A oil or butter that is applied on top of your moisturizer. This oil or butter helps the hair hold water for longer periods. A sealant or sealer is the last product you apply to the hair. On top of locking in moisture it should also give your hair a nice sheen.
In order for the sealant to work, you must already have moisture in your hair. That moisture must come from water. Choose a moisturizer, water based leave in conditioner or plain water, then seal in that moisture with a sealant product.

This can be done when you want less shrinkage and more body to your twist outs. After you shampoo and deep condition. You skip the leave in and other style products. You take advantage of the soaking wet hair. In this case the water alone is your leave in. You seal that water into your hair by using either an oil, butter or grease. Style hair as usual.
This works great as a style refresher between shampoos
- Lightly mist hair with water
- Smooth on shea butter or jojoba oil
- Restyle and cover hair
- Let hair set overnight
- In the morning you should have definition, elongation, shine and softness.

Hi Ms.Vee! I have a super hard time trying to keep my hair moisturized. How does applying leave in to wet hair keep it moisturized? Doesn't the product slide off the hair?
