I have seen in so many places some women using regular old conditioners as leave-ins. Does anyone here do that, if so is it working better than the regular leave-ins and what conditioner are you using?

Thanks.

I can't use regular conditioners as a leave in.  It leaves my hair limp, dull and lifeless.  My hair just dosen't feel right so I don't ever do it.  I read somewhere that you shouldn't do it because they are meant to be rinsed out but I guess if your hair likes it I don't see why not.  I leave Elucence MB in as my leave in but it is actually a conditioner that is meant to double as a leave-in.

I have found some recipes for homemade leave ins that require a light conditioner like Suave,Vo5 etc to be mixed with distilld water and an oil of your choice. I plan on trying that as soon as I get out of these twist.

I use conditioner as my leave-in and it leaves my hair soft and moist.

I can't use a regular conditioner as a leave in eather. It leaves my hair feeling limp and kind of waxy feeling.

I have made a spritz with regular conditioner in it.  It was a while ago, it consisted of oil, water and a small amount of my conditioner ( Vo5  strawberries and creme)
