Leave-in conditioners can be effective on any hair type, whether you have straight or curly hair. A good-quality leave-in conditioner will help detangle hair while moisturizing as well as protecting it from damaging styling or even harsh weather conditions. It allows you to lock in essential nutrients and infuse your hair with a host of healthy ingredients. Used as a part of your regular hair regimen, it will keep locks looking shiny and luscious.
