You could try NTM Silk Touch Leave In, it doubles as a moisturizer. You can use it on wet or dry hair. ------------- |

| I've use leave conditioner as a moisturizer all the time. I always make sure that it can be used on dry hair though. If you have a leave in that says it should only be used on wet hair or doesn't say it can be used on dry hair, then I wouldn't use it as a moisturizer. |

Yes it's safe, but it works best on wet hair. ------------- http://www.fotki.com/beautywitch - My Pics

I've used it before, but I think that it is mainly for wet hair. I get a much better result from using on my hair when its wet than when its dry. I wouldn't suggest it for dry hair, it made my hair feel weird. Cantu Leave-In is a good wet/dry moisturizer. ------------- Current Hair Length: Ear Hair Goal Length: Chin/Neck (Mar. 2007) Ultimate Desired Length: APL, BSL (May 2008) http://public.fotki.com/Tennsley/ - My Fotki |

Not quite sure what you mean? Both are moisturizers they do the same thing one maybe more affective than the other but none the less, essentially they are the same. ------------- MY mother bids me bind my hair With bands of rosy hue, Tie up my sleeves with ribbons rare, And lace my bodice blue. http://public.fotki.com/kathyblack/ |
