Why Do Some Moisturizers Leave Hair Feel Crunchy?

[vtoodler]

Some moisturizers soak into the hair--leaving it soft and hydrated.


Others, however, leave the hair feeling hard and crunchy.
What do you suppose is behind that? Is it build-up?

Maybe an ingredient in the product does not mix well with other things you may have in your hair...

was wondering the same thing

I have a liquid moisturizer that makes my hair hard. After applying it to my hair I noticed my hands were very sticky. I think the ingredients of a product as well as its consistency will determine whether or not your hair will like it or not.

Could be the product has a little bit of protein in it.

i have never experienced that but coconut oil yes and it came out of nowhere. I use to oil my scalp and hair daily and it wasn't a problem before. but i think for a moisturizer it has protein in it just like they say coconut oil acts as a protein

this happens to me in the winter with products that have glycerin

I get that a lot when use butters or creams esp. if they contain shea butter.

If it has aloe vera, my hair will get hard, crunchy, and it will start breaking within days.

It's the ingredients...You have to figure out what your hair likes/dislikes..

Happy Hair Growing!
