Grey Hair Needs Moisture—Inside and Out
As we age, grey hair tends to become drier, more coarse, and more porous than pigmented hair. For those with curly textures, these challenges often feel amplified. That’s why learning the difference between moisturizing and sealing is essential for a healthy, hydrated routine. While both play distinct roles, they work best as a duo—bringing lasting softness and shine to your natural grey hair.
Moisturizing vs. Sealing: What’s the Difference?
Moisturizing means applying hydrating ingredients that penetrate the hair shaft to restore internal moisture. Think of it as nourishing your hair from the inside out. Oils or conditioners with glycerin, coconut oil, or aloe vera are particularly effective for grey hair because they deeply hydrate strands from within.
Sealing, on the other hand, involves applying a lightweight, protective oil to coat the surface of your hair. Oils like argan, grapeseed, or jojoba act as shields, helping to lock in that precious moisture and prevent it from escaping—key for reducing frizz and avoiding brittleness.
- Apply a hydrating product to damp hair, allowing moisture to absorb into each strand.
- Follow with a sealing oil to create a moisture barrier and prevent evaporation.
- Incorporate frequent conditioning treatments and avoid harsh shampoos or mineral oil-based products.
Why Your Grey Curls Deserve a Two-Step Approach
Grey strands crave moisture—and your curls deserve a routine that respects their texture. A consistent regimen using both moisturizing and sealing techniques combats the dryness and fragility that often comes with silver hair. The result? Soft, manageable curls that feel as good as they look.
At Manhattan Grey, our mission is to elevate your haircare experience with formulas intentionally made for textured and grey hair. Whether you're newly transitioning or fully silver, trust this two-step routine to breathe life and luxury back into your strands.

I purchased the hoodie and T-Shirt and love both items. I have one request - I would love to get a hoodie with your company’s name on it so I could advertise this fantastic product. Thanks!
I love the Grey Hair Vegan Moisture Pomade (petroleum free). The scent, the feel and the moisturizing properties of this product. It makes my beard feel and look great. I receive compliments from multiple people on the healthiness and shine of my beard. It is not too heavy and really enhances my grey hairs on my salt & pepper beard.
The vegan pomade does manic to my scalp and hair. The pomade is lightweight and non greasy. A little goes a long way. This is my go to scalp and hair product.
I recently ordered to support my folks and from the reviews. At 55 yrs old my grey is just beginning to sprout and I am happy about that. However, they have a mind of their own and in just a few days this product has allowed my grey’s to marry my texture and trainable for my future growth after cutting my locs. The owner sent me a welcome and that means everything you got a customer/supporter for life thank you sis 🙏🏽
I have very sensitive skin, so I don't try new products very often. But, because my hair was so dry and dull, I decided to give Manhattan Grey a try and I'm glad I did. I'm really pleased with the product. I haven't developed any skin problems at all, and my hair looks much better. I plan to place another order when get low on what I have because this is a good product for me.
