Who here does not use a leave-in

[La Colocha]

I wanted to do a poll to see how many of you do not use a leave in. I do but i was wondering today why? Do i even need to? Feel free to vote.

 

[UGQueen]

I voted yes, I use Infusium-23 leave in, but im looking for a new one because i dont think its any good for my hair.

 

[msa]

I'm not sure. I leave one thing in my hair and usually that's conditioner. If conditioner counts, then yes. If it doesn't, then no.


ETA: I don't believe there's a difference between leave-ins, moisturizers, and rinse-out conditioners. Generally, they all have the same ingredients so it doesn't make a difference. Also, the point of a moisturizer is to leave it in your hair and the point of a leave in is for it to moisturize, so they're the same to me.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I Always, Always, Always Use a Leave-In. I use it basically as an Extra Layer of Protection.

After I rinse out my DC and before I get under the dryer and/or proceed with styling.

I feel it gives it an extra layer of Moisture and an Extra Layer of Protection from whatever tools and other styling abuses your hair encounters.

For Me, It functions as that Extra Layering of Conditioner.

If your using your conditoner as a moisturizer no it doesn't count. I know you don't use very many products. Im really thinking that i don't need a leave in and moisturizer too. I wanted to see if some people were only using a moisturizer and nothing else.

 

[KynniB]

I use KBB hair milk for my leave it. It untangles and moisturizes nicely. Plus it makes adding butters to my hair a lot easier.

 

[blessedandlucky]

after i joined lhcf, i started using a leave it. i think i need a new one though. i don't have any complaints about the one i use, but i can't help but think there's a better one out there. right now, i use mop leave-in.

 

[mkd]

I use conditioner to moisturize usually and seal. When I roller set, I do not use anything at all because my hair is fine and gets weighed down too much.

 

[*Michelle*]

I do when I flat iron, otherwise I don't. Basically every other time during summer, every time during winter.

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

yup yup. its meant to be a rinse out but that would be a waste of its amazingness: Garnier Sleek and Shine Fortifying Cream Conditioner (yes I used its full government lol)

prior to healthy hair care, i put NOTHING in my hair because i wanted to keep the salon swang...hot mess i know

 

[chebaby]

i always use a leave in conditioner. for the most part its always kbb hair milk followed by a sealant, kbb hair cream or coconut oil.
when i was relaxed it was a number of leave ins lol.
before i found this board i never even knew leave ins existed. i would just apply grease before and after blowdrying.

 

[La Colocha]

Thanks ladies the consenses so far is that most of you use leave-ins. Keep them coming i appreciate it.

 

[noemi]

I don't anymore because I don't need it. In the beginning I used Infusium or Elasta H2.

 

[Miamori]

I used to, but I ran out and haven't bought a new one, though I do plan on getting a new one.

I just DC and slather my hair with a natural oil or an oil concoction. If I think my hair is a little dry I rinse the conditioner briefly with cold water (instead of lukewarm), so it's not completely tripped out.

 

[vestaluv1]

I haven't used a leave-in for about a year now.

 

[La Colocha]

I haven't used a leave-in for about a year now.

What are you hiding for. You have some lovely hair, whatever your doing is working for you. I probably won't use a leave in anymore myself. I don't know yet.

 

[DarkAngell]

naah. I tried it for a while but it honestly made no difference in my hair so I cut it. I do leave alittle of my regular conditioner in sometimes though when i notice my hair becoming alittle dry. That usually does the trick for me. I only do this when it's in its curly state. NEVER when i'm flat ironing.

 

[camilla]

I ALWAYS use leave in ntm leave in sealed with chi, hawian silky 14 in1 sealed with amla or brami oil for twist outs or ponies I will try shescentit jojoba hair milk and moisture mist next

 

[Tee]

I use a leave all the time. But La Colocha, when my friend did my hair, she said dont put ANYTHING in it! She doesn't use a leave in and her is very lovely! (I am just to joined at the hip with my leave-ins though. I will continue to use them because my hair needs them.)

 

[djanae]

nope!

I like to let my hair air dry...and it takes a lot longer to do when I keep a leave-in on.

I usually just seal with coconut oil and I'm good. If I'm having a dry hair spell (the ends) I may put a little KBB Hair Milk or VO5 on there for good measure and pin my hair up.

I'm sure when I cut my relaxed ends off though, my hair will love the extra conditioner on a regular basis...

 

[tocktick]

No, I do not. My regimen is working fine for me. I do not believe in adding products or processes to my reggie just because many other people do.

 

[hillytmj]

I used to do it as a way to reduce tangles, but now that I'm using a porosity control product (Stabilizer Plus), I don't seem to need it. I'm a die-hard rollersetter and eliminating the leave-in has helped reduce my drying time.

 

[La Colocha]

I didn't use a leave in last night. And today my hair feels pretty good. I can't really tell a difference. Im going to go without it for a few days to see if i like it. I used water as my moisturizer and sealed with my hair butter.

 

[butterfly3582]

That is one of my staples.

I also love Hairveda leave in.

 

[darlingdiva]

I use JC Leave-In to detangle my twist-outs & I spray it on my scalp. I also use it when I'm in braids.

 

[dcprdiva]

I use a little bit of cantu shea butter leave-in- only a little because I rollerset.

I also just ordered some Lacio Lacio leave in and the Sheep Placenta leave -in (cant' think of the name) but I'm going to try both.

I'm sticking with leave-ins because my hair needs all the moisture it can get.

 

[fyb87]

I have NEVER in my life used a leave-in conditioner and I've always had healthy hair. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I had never heard of it until I joined these hair forums! However, I did just purchase Kinky-Curly Curling Custard and the Knot Today since from everything I've read the Curling Custard works better if you use the Knot Today. We'll see. I will try it with the Knot Today this week-end and without the following week-end.

 

[Desarae]

I always use a leave in.

 

[Saffirejuiliet]

I always use a leave-in. My hair needs all the protection and moisture it can get. I love lacio lacio and fermodyl; however, I also use other products if they are unavailable.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I always use a leave-in. My hair needs all the protection and moisture it can get.

For Me & My Hair: I Totally Agree.
