Conditioner question

If so, what would be some good conditioners?Do you mean the rinses from the shower? Or the actual leave-in sprays? Nexxus' Humectress can be used as a leave-in but it can weigh the hair down. As for other products...never thought of it, I buy products that say leave-in on the bottle. You can use some regular conditioners as a deep conditioning treatment but probably not as a leave-in.

Hi Emmalee,It's true that regular conditioners will also work if you use them as leave-ins. But the problem is that it's hard to find one that will not cause build-up and that is not in the long run harmful to your hair. Like AJ said, silicone is a big problem. At first it seems nice and shiny, but then it dries up and cracks, like a plastic, and dries your hair even more. But if you can find a conditioner without the harmful ingredients, by all means try it. I personally prefer to use natural oils as leave-ins, you know, such as jojoba, olive, coconut, etc. Some people even suggest Shea butter, but I haven't tried it yet. These all work nicely on dry hair. But the only way you'll know for sure is by experimenting. Hope you find one that works,PD> I think I read somewhere that you can use some regular> conditioners as a leave-in. Was wondering if this is> true? If so, what would be some good conditioners?

> Just wanted to know how making your own leave-in worked out for you. I haven't tried the conditioner you mentioned. If it is a cream, it may not work as a leave-in. I haven't been able to make a leave-in from a cream although I have tried since I'd love to have the benefits of a deep conditioner on my hair every day. Instant liquid conditioners make the best leave-ins.
