But actually, I sort of have it easy in comparison to others. You see, my hair is straight. My friends that have curls and coils are always reminding me that wash day could be a whole lot worse. Because really, straight hair is a whole lot quicker to wash and style that curly hair is.
But I think there’s a product that helps us all out. It helps replenish curly styles with moisture for easier styling while also helping to reduce wash time for all—and it’s been staring us in the face for some time. Yep, I’m talking about leave-in conditioners.
While my curly-haired friends have used leave-in conditioners for almost their whole lives to help nourish and hydrate their curls, it has never really occurred to me that replacing my usual conditioner with a leave-in treatment could save me a whole lot of shower time. So, for the past six months or so I have more or less exclusively used leave-in conditioners as my post-shampoo treatment. And I’ve had more compliments on my hair than ever before (despite the fact I haven’t had it cut since August). Not only does it save time in the shower, using a leave-in conditioner can also help increase manageability, boost shine, and help restore moisture to prevent breakage—oh, and it saves on water. Here are the 12 best leave-in-conditioners for a lower maintenance hair routine.
