Hydrating your hair is key, but sealing it in? That’s how you keep it in check all day. Hydration adds moisture, but sealing locks it in, preventing moisture loss that leads to frizz and dryness. Frizz occurs when the hair cuticle lifts, allowing environmental moisture to seep in, causing swelling and disrupting the smooth surface. Cécred's Moisture Sealing Lotion steps in by smoothing the cuticle and locking moisture for up to 24 hours of frizz protection, even after exposure to humidity.
And don’t forget about the signature scent—Temple Oud. With notes of oud, Australian sandalwood, warm musk, night-blooming jasmine, Haitian vetiver, and violet leaves, it leaves your hair smelling just as good as it looks.
Moisture Sealing Lotion is a true multi-tasker. Let’s dive into its ingredients and how to use it to achieve any look you’re feeling right now.
How to Lock in Moisture in Hair?
If you’ve ever wondered how to lock in moisture in hair, it comes down to the right ingredients and application techniques.

How to Seal in Moisture in Hair?
Start with hydration: Use a water-based product like Cécred's Hydrating Shampoo or leave-in conditioner to infuse the hair with moisture. Water is the main source of hydration for hair.
Seal it in: Once hair is hydrated, apply a product formulated to seal that moisture—like a lotion, cream, or lightweight oil. These products work by coating the strand and preventing moisture from evaporating. Look for ingredients like natural oils (jojoba, baobab, almond) or esters that mimic the scalp’s sebum.
Maintain the balance: Too much sealing without enough hydration can lead to buildup and dryness over time. Moisture sealing should always follow hydration, not replace it.
Protect the cuticle: Use heat protectants before styling and avoid harsh products that can roughen or lift the cuticle, allowing moisture to escape.
What is the Best Oil for Sealing in Moisture?
Moisture Sealing Lotion is for all hair types, but knowing your hair texture - from straight to kinky - will determine how best to use it. For example, textured hair is naturally more prone to dryness due to its structure, which is why knowing how to seal moisture in hair is particularly important. Curly, coily, and even wavy hair require extra help to retain hydration, which is where Cécred's Moisture Sealing Lotion shines. The lotion creates a smooth layer over each strand, trapping the moisture inside while protecting against external drying factors.
When sealing moisture, oils play a key role. Emollients are oils that help soften and smooth hair by forming a protective barrier. Emollients make hair feel smooth, hydrated, and more manageable without making it greasy. Moisture Sealing Lotion contains emollients such as argan and olive to lock in moisture without weighing hair down. But don’t forget the importance of humectants—ingredients that attract moisture to your hair in the first place. By combining both humectants and emollients, Moisture Sealing Lotion keeps your hair healthy, moisturized, and manageable.
