Choosing the Right Leave-In Conditioner for Your Hair

Often referred to as “leave-on conditioners” or “no-rinse conditioners,” leave-in conditioners work to provide hydrating and conditioning treatment benefits to the hair between washes.

Unlike daily conditioners, no-rinse conditioners are meant to be left on the hair and are best applied after hair is shampooed, conditioned, and before hair is styled.

Leave-in conditioning treatments come in many different formulas including liquid spray-on conditioners or thick creamy leave-in conditioners. However, the best ones are the ones that are formulated with premium natural ingredients, avoid harsh chemicals, and are not tested on animals.

The Importance of Leave-In Conditioners

Leave-in conditioners are great for nourishing your hair and keeping it healthy between washes. While leave-on conditioning treatments vary and are formulated for different hair types, they generally provide the following benefits:

  • Add moisture to your hair and scalp

  • Soften & add luster to your locks

  • Calm down frizz

  • Detangle & make brushing easier

  • Reduce hair breakage and damage

  • Make your hair stronger

  • Make hair easier to style

Is your hair thinning? Is it dry? Is it weak & brittle? Choosing the right leave-in conditioner for your hair type will depend a lot on your hair and its specific needs. Some keywords to look for are “hydrating,” “strengthening,” or “thickening.”

Thinning Hair

If your hair lacks volume and fullness, we recommend avoiding thick, creamy leave-in conditioners because they can add weight to fine hair. Instead, consider using a lightweight leave-in spray like Arganatural Biotin Thickening Leave-In Conditioner which plumps up thin stands for thicker, fuller, healthier looking hair that shines. This lightweight conditioning spray will provide the right amount of moisture and add more body to your hair without making it look flat and lifeless.

This highly effective leave-in conditioning treatment is formulated with natural ingredients to help strengthen and volumize thin or thinning hair:

  • Castor Oil - To promote stronger, healthier hair growth

  • Biotin - Helps fortify weak, thinning hair

Dry Hair

If your hair breaks easily and feels brittle, there’s a good chance that it’s dry and is in need of some hydration to bring it back to it’s healthy, vibrant glory.

We recommend using a moisturizing, leave-in conditioning spray like Arganatural Nourishing Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner which helps detangle hair, and smoothes frizz for soft, hydrated, and easy-to-style strands. This highly effective, no-rinse treatment conditioner is formulated with all natural ingredients to give you hydrated and healthy hair:

  • Macadamia Oil - Illuminates dull, dry, & tangled strands

  • Bamboo Extract - Locks out damage caused by heat styling

  • Argan Oil - Deeply nourishes and hydrates hair from the inside out

Weak Hair

Do you find more hair on your floor or in your bathroom sink than you do on your head? This could be a sign that your hair is weak and needs some TLC to make it stronger.

We recommend using a strengthening leave-in conditioner like Arganatural Strengthening Keratin Leave-In Conditioner. This specially formulated spray-in conditioning treatment was designed to restore strands to their natural, healthy state with powerful strengthening ingredients:

  • Coconut oil - Provides maximum hydration and moisture while restoring hair elasticity

  • Keratin - Repairs damaged hair and prevents hair breakage

One Final Tip

For best results, we recommend applying your leave-in conditioner on towel-dried hair that has been shampooed and conditioned. Spray treatment on damp hair from root to tip, being careful not to oversaturate, and comb through strands before styling hair as usual.
