What is Leave-In Conditioner and How Does it Differ From Regular Conditioner?
Unlike traditional conditioners, a leave-in conditioner lives up to its name – it's a conditioner you simply leave in your hair. No rinse out needed. While certain formulas are designed to treat different hair concerns, the main purpose of a leave-in conditioner is to moisturize, nourish, detangle and protect dry hair. Not only will a leave-in conditioner ensure your post-shower hair is nourished and tangle free, it will also provide the added benefits of smoothing your hair (wet or dry) and reducing frizz!
What Are the Benefits of Using a Leave-In Conditioner?
Leave-in conditioners offer a multitude of benefits for nearly every hair type, providing hydration, nourishment, and protection throughout the day.
Formulated with nourishing, conditioning, and detangling emollients, leave-in conditioners deliver several immediate and long-term benefits to your hair. From providing hydration to smoothing the hair cuticle, leave-in conditioners not only boost short-term manageability but work to combat damage and breakage caused by chemical processing and heat styling.
Due to its versatile appeal, a leave-in conditioner functions as both a treatment and styling product and can be used to combat frizz, smooth hair, and tame fly-aways well past your after-shower hair care routine.

Which Hair Types Benefit From Using a Leave-In Conditioner?
While especially beneficial for those with coarse, dry, or brittle hair, leave-in conditioners offer a multitude of benefits for virtually any hair type by providing hydration, nourishment, and protection throughout the day. With that said, those with fine or thinning hair may want to exercise caution when applying leave-in conditioner to avoid weighing down strands. While using a leave-in conditioner boosts hydration and manageability, consider a lighter touch or opt for formulas designed for fine hair to maintain volume and prevent heaviness.
How To Use Leave-In Conditioner:
Leave-in conditioner is traditionally applied to wet hair after shampooing. While you can swap leave-in conditioner for your traditional, rinse-out conditioner, hair that is particularly coarse, dry, damaged may benefit from both.
After your shower, spray onto clean, damp hair and comb through to nourish, detangle and moisturize. Simply style as desired – your smooth strands will thank you!
To refresh, defrizz and smooth dry hair, rub a pea-sized amount in the palms of your hands and apply as needed.
