  • Tuesday: comb your hair dry and apply from length to roots to control frizz or style.

Grow Long is a leave-in spray conditioner ideal for long, straight hair.

According to some users, its formula with caffeine, ginseng, and vitamin E stimulates hair growth.

 

Your hair will grow longer. Also, you’ll immediately notice that it prevents breakage at the ends. 

 

Remember to spray from roots to ends at a distance of six inches to cover a wider area. Don’t apply it to dry hair.

Do you know why?

 

When you wash your hair, the cuticles open to absorb water and hydrate it.

Since wet hair absorbs products easily, it’ll also absorb this leave-in conditioner with great effect.

 

Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil

This leave-in conditioner is ideal for straightened, colored, bleached, and permed hair. It should always be used on damp hair.

 

Jamaican Black provides moisture, nourishment, and elasticity for future chemical treatments. If you’re planning a radical change of look, you can prepare your hair to strengthen it when it’s time to go through the process.

Have you already changed your look?

 

You can also use Jamaican Black if you need to repair hair damage.

 But remember, this leave-in conditioner should be applied to wet hair. Otherwise, if you apply it to dry hair, your mane will feel heavy, greasy, and lack movement. 

 

In addition, Jamaican Black is for moderate use. It means that you should always use it after washing your hair.

In other words, you shouldn’t wet your hair every day to apply the conditioner. Otherwise, you’ll generate an excess of greasiness on the scalp.

Finally, leave a centimeter of growth at the time of application, as it shouldn’t be used on the roots.

 

Renpure Coconut Whipped Créme

Coconut Whipped Créme is one of the most innovative leave-in conditioners because it’s formulated with microscopic coconut oil.

Do you know why that’s so wonderful?

 

Hair cuticles are tiny scales that protect the hair fiber. Microscopic coconut oil penetrates the cuticles and repairs and moisturizes the hair from the inside.

Therefore,  your hair will regain the strength, elasticity, shine, and softness  that it loses during coloring processes or the use of heat tools such as flat irons and curling irons.

 

Also, if your hair is curly, you can use this leave-in conditioner to shape and style your frizzy hair.

 And most importantly, you can use it on both wet and dry hair, and it is for frequent use. 

 

Suggestions of use?

  • Wash your hair every 48 hours.
  • When you finish washing your hair, and after removing excess water, apply Coconut Whipped Crème to damp hair.
  • The next day, DON’T WASH YOUR HAIR and apply the conditioner to dry hair.
  • On the third day, you can wash your hair and apply Coconut Whipped Crème on your damp hair again.

 

 A secret? Once you apply the leave-in conditioner, you can use your hands to mold your hair and give it more volume. 

How about changing your look every day?

 

  • On Monday, you can surprise everyone with a perfect straight.
  • Tuesday will be the day of the 80s and its wonderful big hairs.
  • For Wednesday, a more relaxed and summery look with amazing surfer waves. Finally, on Thursday, an updo with super neat curls.

 

Conclusions

Now you can decide which leave-in conditioner is best for your hair’s needs. Then, you’ll know whether to use it on wet or dry hair.
