    amount of water content within the hair shaft

    Hair moisture, also known as hair hydration, refers to the amount of water content within the hair shaft. Properly moisturized hair is more elastic, less prone to breakage, and has a smoother, shinier appearance. Maintaining hair moisture is crucial for overall hair health and can be achieved through the use of conditioners, leave-in treatments, and hydrating hair masks.
