With its blend of argan oil, extra virgin olive oil, and jojoba oils, this deep-conditioning mask reconstructs, smoothes, and repairs your hair. If your hair is fine, using a leave-in conditioner like this one from Feed Your Ends should do the trick, as ultrafine hair can't handle the weight of a deep-conditioning mask.
Two-in-one shampoos sound great in theory, but they aren't all that effective. If your hair is chin-length or longer, this kind of product won't be strong enough. That's because, according to Cairns, hair that is chin-length is usually at least a year old, which means that the ends will need a more targeted conditioner.

I wash my hair weekly and rinse out my Hello Hydration conditionner. Then I detangle and moisturize my hair with the Aubrey Organics White Camelia conditionner and leave it in.

Any conditioner from the herbal essence line when left in my hair will cause my scalp to itch like crazy! Is it just me? When used as a regular rinse out conditioner it works fine without the itchies. The tressame naturals conditioners are currently my favorite since starting the curly girl method back in April.
Whenever I leave in rinse-out conditioners in my hair my scalp always starts itching. It was absolutely disgusting. I had to wash my hair about 3—4 times just to get out all of the dandruff.

What works for some leaving in conditioner for ex: may not work for another. That does not work for everyone. Number one, would you put lotion on your skin and never wash it — then call it clean?

I also use it for my co-washes. I tried it as a leave in for the first time last week when I took my twists down it was so soft and fluffy. I used it again the other night and I got the same results. This product really helps to simplify my regimen. Hi ladies!!
