Tester Michelle Rostamian fell in love with this leave-in treatment and it’s become a staple in her daily routine: “For the pro, it restores hair to a healthy state, giving clients more styling freedom while they’re in the chair, but for the layman like me, it brings back softness, shine, and makes hair overall more manageable,” she wrote in her review.
Tester feedback: Commerce writer Jennifer Hussain is also a fan of this buzzy treatment. “After a four-minute soak and a blow dry, my hair is left super silky and frizz-free,” she says. “This leave-in conditioner leaves a shiny finish similar to heavier formulas, but it doesn’t leave a sticky, waxy film behind. Just follow the directions and add just a little at a time; two pumps is all I need for my super-thick hair.”
Main Ingredients: K18 Peptide | Target Audience: Damaged, dry hair
Best Detangling Leave-In Conditioner: Milkshake Leave-in Conditioner
Why it’s worth it: Milk_Shake’s leave-in conditioner is the best (um, shake?). This lightweight, color-protecting formula is enriched with Vitamin E, milk protein, and fruit extracts (strawberry, blueberry, and papaya) for visible shine and softness. Plus, the bottle is generously sized (11.8 fl oz), so it should last you months. But seriously, a few more sprays and I’m on the verge of pleading for a standalone fragrance. For now, if you’re looking for something a little less gourmet, Flower bottle with floral pattern.
Tester feedback: “I’ve been using Milkshake leave-in conditioner for almost a year now and can’t brush my hair without it. I can’t” he said. charm Contributing trade writer Annie Blackman said in a review, “Sure, it’s a conditioner, but I mostly use it to detangle wet hair. I use it all over my head, spraying about eight light times at the roots. This product doesn’t make my hair oily, which is a big plus since I’m someone who overwashes my hair (I know, I know).”
Main Ingredients: Vitamin E, Honey, Milk Protein, Strawberry Extract, Blueberry Extract, Papaya Extract | Target Audience: All Hair Types
