What comes to your mind when you listen to the term “dry”? Probably that whatever it is, it needs hydration and moisture. The same is the case with dry hair. In order to look perfectly hydrated and nourished, dry hair needs to have enough moisture. But how do you hydrate the hair? Providing moisture to dry hair doesn’t mean drenching it in water over and over again. In fact, using excessive water for hair can have detrimental effects. Just like a dry skin needs a moisturizing lotion, dry hair needs a moisturizing shampoo that can help keep the hair moisture in check.

What is a Moisturizing Shampoo?
Moisturizing shampoo is a kind of hair cleaning aid particularly formulated to add moisture and shine to your hair. This kind of shampoo is designed for normal to dry hair types, and works to keep your hair aptly nourished. A quality hydrating shampoo contains all natural ingredients that gently work on your dry, damaged, color-treated hair and keeps it protected from further damage.
GK Hair Moisturizing Shampoo
Meet our best formula for dry, dehydrated hair that’s crying out for moisture: GK Hair Moisturizing Shampoo. This shampoo is fortified by all natural ingredients that seek to retain the natural moisture of your hair, and restore its vitality from the inside out. Read on to know more about GK Hair Moisturizing Shampoo and what makes it our best-selling hair aid.
Moisturizing Shampoo vs Standard Shampoo
Moisturizing Shampoo differs from the standard shampoo on the basis of several factors, like ingredients and effects. A standard shampoo contains chemicals like sulfates, parabens, glutens, phthalates, DEA and TEA. These chemicals are used to clean dirt and sebum from hair, while stripping the hair of its natural oils. Moisturizing Shampoo, on the other hand, is formulated without harsh chemicals and contains only natural ingredients that nourish the hair from within and keep it protected.
Another difference is that a standard shampoo isn’t designed to hydrate hair. It is only formulated as a hair cleaning aid that removes all impurities from the hair and keeps it squeaky clean. Moisturizing Shampoo does not only cleanse the hair of impurities, but also maintains the moisture level of your hair.
How Does Moisturizing Shampoo Work?
In order to understand how Moisturizing Shampoo works, let’s go into the details of how hair dryness occurs in the first place. A healthy hair is denoted as the one which has its cuticles closed together. These cuticles protect the hair shaft and keep the natural moisture of hair locked in. When the hair comes in contact with certain stressors, such as heat, sunrays, and other environmental elements, these cuticles are raised. This results in moisture escaping from hair, leaving it dry, brittle, dehydrated, and extremely frizzy. Since these cuticles are raised, it also leads to loss of natural keratin and hair proteins, making hair feeble and vulnerable to damage.
Moisturizing Duo caters to these concerns and repairs the damage, owing to its powerful ingredients:
-JUVEXIN: One of the most revolutionary discoveries in the hair care industry of haircare, Juvexin is a keratin anti-aging protein blend optimized to restore hair from the inside out, returning it to a more youthful state. It also protects against future damage and environmental effects by creating a shield over each hair strand.
-NATURAL SEED OILS: Due to its natural healing properties, seed oils are 100% accepted by all types of hair. These natural oils deliver hydration to the hair, leaving the hair nourished and conditioned.
-NATURAL PLANT EXTRACTS: Owing to its hydrating characteristics, natural plant extracts soothe and hydrate hair that needs deep nourishment, and delivers gentle natural moisture.
-NATURAL GRAIN EXTRACTS These natural proteins, along with Juvexin, seal cuticle gaps by filling in, and strengthen the hair to protect each strand against damage.
All of these ingredients work together to restore the hair’s vitality and natural brilliance by retaining natural hair moisture in.
Benefits of a Moisturizing Shampoo
Frizz Control
Frizz is the most common consequence of dryness, and mostly occurs sooner than other indicators. SInce the hair is dehydrated, it starts running in different directions looking for moisture. Hence, frizz occurs. Such dry, poofy hair can benefit greatly from GK Hair Moisturizing Shampoo. Its healthy, natural elements hydrate and nourish your hair while also preventing it from becoming frizzy.
Zero Tangles
As discussed above, when the hair is dry, it flees in all directions in search of moisture, resulting in hair knots and flyaways. Moisturizing Shampoo maintains the internal moisture level of your hair and prevents dryness with its moisturizing abilities. Since it’s free of sulfates, parabens, and other harsh chemicals, it does not strip your hair of its natural moisture and maintains its natural brilliance.
Color Protection
As our color-treated hair is always on the verge of hair damage, regular exposure to harmful sun rays multiplies the damaging effects, causing hair color to fade faster than it should. Moisturizing Shampoo, with its dual-action formula, keeps your hair color vibrant and prevents it from fading.
Sun Damage
Just like the sun rays can have detrimental effects on our skin, our hair is on the stake as well. In fact, the sun causes far more damage to our hair than we realize. Frequent exposure to the UV rays can cause split ends, dryness, discoloration, and premature hair aging. Hence, using a UV-protective hair product is an excellent option. Moisturizing Shampoo creates a protective layer over each strand, preventing UV damage and keeping hair safe from the sun.
Hair Breakage
Hair breakage is caused by dry, dehydrated hair and can be repaired by supplying the hair with adequate nourishment. Since Moisturizing Shampoo hydrates and quenches thirsty hair, it is less prone to breakage and split ends, and the hair remains healthy and undamaged.
How to Use
The usage of Moisturizing Shampoo follows the application process of a standard shampoo, and doesn’t need extra caution.
- The first step is to wet your hair thoroughly; do not apply the shampoo directly to dry hair. The reason being, since many shampoos have ‘aqua” as one of their main ingredients, applying the shampoo on wet hair enhances its properties and gives an improved result.
- Massage the shampoo onto your hair, but don’t forget to be gentle with your hair roots. Never massage your scalp with your fingernails; instead, use fingertips to gently cleanse your roots.
- Massage for 2-3 minutes, and rinse the hair thoroughly until the water runs clear.
- Move on to applying Moisturizing Conditioner on your hair lengths. Gently work your way to the hair ends and ensure an even application.
- Leave it on for a few minutes so that the hair absorbs the nourishing effects, and then rinse thoroughly.
The bottom line? Hair dryness can cause havoc to your hair, if not treated instantly. But with the right hair care, it can be easily battled.
