Is a leave-in conditioner necessary? This is a frequently asked question and the answer is both yes and no. As quality rinse-out conditioners contain humectants, vitamins and emollients. These ingredients in a rinse out conditioner are key to leaving the hair moisturised.
So why apply a leave in conditioner? Well, leave in conditioners have their benefits, because we aren't rinsing them out. They can help protect our curls from dryness, frizz and make styling that much more easier. Especially if you have low porosity, damaged hair or your hair needs that TLC to last the entire week.
I need a leave in conditioner for my type 4 hair. Skipping has never been an option, especially for achieving the best wash and go's.
Getting the right leave in conditioner can make or break your healthy hair regime. You are reading this article because you not only need a good leave in conditioner, but you want one with slip.
