    GlossaryHydration (Water Absorption)

    process of maintaining adequate moisture levels in hair or skin

    Hydration refers to the process of providing or maintaining adequate moisture levels in the body or a specific part of it, such as the skin or hair. For hair, proper hydration involves ensuring that the hair strands retain enough water to remain flexible, strong, and less prone to breakage. This can be achieved through the use of moisturizing products and by maintaining a balanced diet rich in water.
