➤Humectants vs Anti-humectants

●Humectants - products that take moisture from the air and put it in your hair. Often found in our deep conditioners, creams, butters, moisturizers etc.
AVOID products with humectants when it's humid because they take moisture from the air & put it in your hair which causes frizz.
Common humectants:
Glycerin (vegetable & animal)
Propylene glycol
Butylene glycol
Sorbitol
Panthenol vitamin b5
Maltitol
Acetamide MEA
Urea
Hydrolyzed wheat protein
Sodium PCA
Sugar cane
Dipropylene glycol
Hexylene glycol
Triethylene glycol
Caprylyl glycol

Some other ingredients that act as humectants
Mango butter
Agave nectar
Honey
Aloe Vera
Flaxseed
Algae extract
Hydrolyzed collagen
Ceramide complex
Coenzyme q10

●Anti-humectants - products that keep moisture from escaping your hair. Sealers.
Common anti-humectants:
Silicones
Esters
Hydrogenated castor oil
Beeswax
Plant triglycerides - coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, & shea butter

➤When to use a humectant vs anti humectant?

[Dew points - how much moisture is in the air]
Dew point below 35F = use anti-humectants (to keep moisture from escaping your hair since the air is so dry)
Dew point 35-50F = can use humectants (to attract moisture that's in the air)
Dew point above 60F = use anti-humectants (to keep too much moisture from getting into your hair which causes frizz)
