Lock or Attract?

Victor Sabino has made the best product I have probably ever used. Its called moisture block. Ive mentioned it before. Basically, it is made of 2 silicones that trap the moisture inside your hair and keeps moisture out. One is able to create sleek style that a virtually frizz proof. I will make an entire blog on what it is and how to use it but for now, the issue is, lock in the moisture to your hair...or attract moisture to it for continuous moisture?

Let examine the two possibilities.

1. I can add moisture block to my hair while it is damp and almost dry. The reasonably perfect amount of moisture in the hair is 10% - 11%. How do I suppose to know when my hair is at that level? Who knows. This is why I will try it on damp hair.

2. Natural ingredients such as honey, honeyquat, and glycerin attract moisture from the air and keep the hair moisturize during the day.

Water is something that NEEDS to be in the hair. It keeps it soft, shiny, etc. I would like to test both of these out and see which holds the moisture the MOST according to how it feels. I would also have to document the humidity and weather because those play a role in moisture.

I have glycerin but honeyquat is said to be far more moisturizing than glycerin. So back to the question, lock in the moisture (helpful with steam treatments that help infuse moisture) or use a humectant to keep moisture into my hair. What do you think?

I want a sample first.If it works I would put it on damp hair, let it airdry. Then flat iron. I am just afraid that it may block out the moisturizers that I attempt to put on my hair, plus silicones can be hard to get out. They are also drying overtime. I am not the person to jump on bandwagons, so I will wait a couple of months.

fyi it doesn't block out moisture that you have before you apply. Meaning whatever you put in before, it locks it in until the next wash, while blocking out environmental moisture.
