Leave-in Conditioners

At first I wasnt impressed with the Giovanni Direct Leave In but thats because I was using it in a way that wasnt capitalizing on getting the most moisture out of the product for my hair...I love it now...I use it after I cowash and then I put some of my shea butter mixture on top and BAM im good to go!! lol

I also like the knot today but it is a little costly...and Im not too too impressed with it...

Great suggestions ladies!!! I'll definitely be trying anything that is affordable and practical for me to try

So many people have raved about Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave-In so when I spotted it at a local Asian owned beauty supply store, I grabbed it. I got it for $7.99. I hope it works for me.

I use KCKT (Knot Today) mixed with water and an essential oil. Gypsy (my hair) LOVES it. It also helps me stretch this stuff because $12 ($12.99 in Ricky's NYC anyway) is a bit much to spend on a leave-in. Especially since Gyspy EATS products.

I just use my regular co-wash as leave-in. So it could be Suave Naturals Tangerine, Nature's Gate, or Herbal Essences Curls and Waves, along with a touch of shea butter or olive oil.

I've recently made this discovery ... since I have to partially rinse my leave-in anyway (or else it will make my hair hard). I'm going to use up the leave-ins I have now then I'm just going to stick with using my regular co-wash conditioners as leave-ins (partial rinse-out).

I can't wait to try the Knot Today that I won as a leave in. It should be arriving any day now. I also need to look into the Giovanni Direct Leave In. I love the SAS but I've never been able to find the big 32 oz size locally and I go through the smaller size so quick!

My hair likes alba leave-in. I wish I could find bigger tubes of that stuff though. Or if they put it in a pump bottle that would be swwweet!

LOL well great minds think alike!

I want to try Giovanni as well as SheaMoisure leave-in. I also saw Kimmaytube's leave-in mixture and I want to try that as well ...

I plan to pick some of this up. Saw in in the local BSS but wasn't sure if it was the right product. Definitely plan to purchase...tomorrow.

I've only been using my regular cowash conditioners as a leave-in: HE TT, HE HH, TJ TTT, Desert Essence Green Apple & Ginger. For me, any regular rinse condish works well as a leave-in. I add it before I get out of the shower and let the water rinse through my hair once or twice and that's it.

I have, however, ordered Darcy's Botanicals Daily Leave-In and Mixed Chicks Leave-In, so I'll see how those work for me in the coming weeks. *I've noticed with my hair that adding too many more products on top of my leave-in produce a whitish residue that eventually disappears, but that I don't like if I'm in a hurry.
