The NUMBER ONE PROBLEM I see in the salon is dryness. Almost everyone has dry hair, myself included! Hair itself doesn’t produce it’s own oil, that’s your skins job! So naturally, as our hair grows and gets longer, the oil from our scalp that’s meant to protect and moisturize our our can’t doing its job.
That’s why this is such a common problem, but the good news it that it’s an easy fix!
Using a leave-in conditioning product, whether it’s a mist, a lotion, or an oil can have an immense impact on the health of your hair. Everyone needs a good leave-in– they are so easy to use and make SUCH a difference!
Mists
Hair Mists are the preferred form of leave-in for clients with finer hair that can feel weighed down. Leave-in mists are easy to distribute and don’t glob up if you use too much! They are super user friendly and double as a detangler!
My favorite leave-in hair mists are DEDE Hair Mist and OI All-in-one Milk. These mists are lightweight, but pack a major hydration punch. Choose DEDE if you need detangling action, a little bit of hydration, and wash your hair daily or every other day. Choose OI Milk if you like your hair to feel super soft, need a good moisture kick, and wash your hair once or twice a week.
Lotions and Creams
Leave-in lotions can seems scary, but if your hair needs a major drink, NOTHING will get you there like a lotion. Creamy leave-ins are more substantial and work best in medium to coarse hair textures. Curly and wavy hair can support creams more-so than fine, straight hair, and typically like the extra weight to control frizz!
My favorite leave-in lotions are MOMO Hair Potion and LOVE Curl Cream. Choose MOMO if you have coarser hair, use hot tools regularly, and wear your hair more smooth and straight. Choose LOVE if you have waves or curls that your air dry. Both of these lotions will add moisture and softness without feeling heavy or tacky.
Oils
Oils are my favorite way to infuse hair with moisture and unlike mists and lotions, oils can be used by anyone. Whether you have fine straight hair or think, dense tresses, a few drops of oil on wet or dry hair and be the difference between happy hair and unruly, unmanageable strands.
OI Oil is my newest go-to. This multi-function oil, adds shine and softness to hair while also detangling and fighting frizz. It works especially well on coarse or dry hair, but can be used sparingly on finer hair too. Oils are perfect if, again, you need nourishment but don’t want any added weight.
No matter which medium you choose, make sure a leave-in treatment gets built into your hair regimen. You can’t have beautiful, healthy, happy hair without it!
