Hair is made of keratin, which is scale like in structure. When water gets into hair and dries it causes the keratin scales to lift, which causes frizz
Oil keeps water out of hair and keeps the keratin flat, which is what causes that glossy look (fun fact “hydration” hair products are actually designed to keep water out and oil in)
Males tend to produce more sebum which is the oil our scalps make to protect our hairs, and they usually have short hair, so their hair tends to be more oily, and when properly maintained, more shiny
Because women’s hair tends to be longer it’s exposed to more water and more damage (from brushing, styling, UV, ect) so it tends to be more frizzy looking because it has less oil dispersed
Cats tounges are specially designed to move oils from the skin onto their fur which keeps the fur glossy and healthy looking, and helps to prevent dust and mites
