Leave-in conditioners are a staple for all hair types whether your hair is chemically straightened or naturally curly. They help hydrate the hair and protect it from styling heat and outdoor elements. Leave-ins are also helpful with detangling and are especially good for setting and styling hair. There are lots of wonderful options available these days, but my all time favorite is this one!
ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
From the makers of Mixed Chicks, “Whether you’re black, white, Asian, Latin, Mediterranean, or any glorious combination of the above, you’ll love the way this alcohol-free, non-sticky, lightweight, product leaves your hair inviting to touch as it defines and locks moisture into every curl.” This leave-in comes from an entire line of hair care products founded by Wendi Levy and Kim Etheredge in 2004. It is best known for defining curls and taming frizz.
