It seems like my hairs are stiffer/firmer when they're dry, so there's more hold to them, whereas they're a lot softer when moisturised. Sometimes if I want to curl my hair, I'll wash my hair with a sulphate shampoo first so that the curls will hold better. If I do something to moisturise my hair before curling it, however, the curls have much less hold to them and tend to straighten out after a while (such as the few times I tried aloe vera gel before curling because some people suggested using it to get more hold - it worked completely against its purpose for me).
For me, it's not so much that it feels like the moisture is weighing down my hair as that it simply makes it feel soft and slippery instead of "firm".
