Leave-In Conditioner: An Underrated Secret Weapon In Your Hair Care Arsenal
Good hair days are no longer a ‘once-a-week’ affair, all thanks to the leave-in conditioners. We all know the drill. Freshly washed hair on day one, the ends seem out of place on the second day, and in comes the frizz as the third day closes. However, the leave-in conditioners, arguably the most underrated products of your hair stash, are here to change it all. Here are all the reasons one must move them up the hair care hierarchy for good.
What is a leave-in conditioner?
Unlike your conventional cleansers and masks, there’s plenty about this product that many don’t understand. So, let’s begin with the most common question - ‘what is a leave-in conditioner?’
Leave-in conditioner’s meaning remains quite straightforward. It’s a conditioner you don’t wash off. However, if you’ve been conditioning your hair every time you wash it, adding a leave-in conditioner may seem redundant. The truth is, a leave-in conditioner / spray works side-by-side with your daily conditioner and not in place of it. While your conditioner is meant to be rinsed off in the shower right away, a leave-in conditioner isn't meant to be rinsed out. That’s because leave-in conditioners help give your hair an extra dose of moisture throughout the day, which can be a major help when it comes to managing daily styling wear and tear.
Plus, if you’ve noticed your hair breaking off more than usual while brushing, a leave-in conditioner could be exactly what you need. Manageability and a fresh, healthy look are some of its pros, a leave-in conditioner often translates to heat protectant too. A hair care partner turned stylist.
