Moisture vs. Hydration
While "moisture" and "hydration" are frequently used interchangeably to describe the benefits of hair conditioners, they're actually two different processes that work together to achieve a common goal: improved moisture content.
How are they different? Moisturizing refers to the prevention of water loss through the formation of a protective barrier; hydration is the actual replenishment of lost water content. Locks with adequate amounts of moisture and hydration are plump and have cohesive movement.

BALANCING ACT
In soft and supple skin tissues—including the scalp—the stratum corneum has a water content of up to 30%.
The water comes from the atmosphere, underlying skin layers and sweat.
Oil produced by skin glands and fatty substances act as natural moisturizers, allowing the stratum corneum to seal in water.
Characteristic signs of dry scalp occur when the water content falls below 10%. (Source: PDRHealth.com)
