How often to use leave-in conditioner
Not all hair is created equal, so not all hair should receive the same treatment. This goes for how, when, and where to apply leave-in conditioner as well as any other hair care product. It’s always best to take an individualized approach to your hair care both with the specific products you use and how often you use them. Here, we break down how often to use leave-in conditioner.
Fine Hair
Fine hair is the most likely to be weighed down by any conditioning products, which is why it’s important touse them sparingly and to target them on the middle-to-ends of thehairwhen you do use them. Perhaps try to avoid conditioner everytime you shower. This will ensure your roots don’t end up looking heavy or greasy and instead retains its volume while looking soft and smooth. To achieve this, you may want to start with our Full Shampoo and Conditioner.
Then, after you shower and towel-dry your hair, apply a dime-size ofRepair Leave-Into your ends to detangle and smooth. If your hair is particularly dry or damaged, you may benefit from using more leave-in conditioner and using it more often.
Medium Hair
If you have hair with medium thickness, meaning your hair is neither wipsy or rough to touch,you can apply leave-inconditioneras often as you wash, or even whenever you step out of the shower. After shampooing and conditioning your hair, simply use the leave-in as directed, focusing on the areas of your hair that are prone to tangles and dryness.
If your natural hair tends to be frizzy, we recommend our No Frizz Leave-in Conditioner, a nourishinganti frizz leave-in conditionerthat detangles and provides an extra boost of conditioning.
Thick Hair
Thick hair or highly textured hair needs a lot of moisturizing products like leave-in conditioner, rinse-out conditioner, and deep conditioner, and typically needs a greater amount of these products than finer hair types because they are more prone to tangling and dryness. Both of these can be addressed with a leave-in conditioner.
If you have thick hair which looks full and feels more coarse, you’ll want toreach for leave-inconditioneroften and use slightly more than the recommended amountto coat the end of your strands and ensure they receive the benefits. Whenever you exit the shower or want to detangle or style your strands, which could include after spritzing them with a spray bottle to refresh your style.
Consider reaching for another moisturizing product on top of your leave-in. For instance, follow up No Frizz Leave-in Conditioner with a generous amount of Nourishing Styling Cream—your hair can handle it—to smooth, condition, and further eliminate frizz.
