Leave in means you leave it in your hair and apply it outside the shower. Regular conditoner is used in the shower and rinse out.

Answer #5

Regular conditioners have heavy ingredients that contain fatty chemicals and are meant to be rinsed out. Leave-in conditioners, on the other hand, use lighter ingredients so they don’t weigh down your hair when left in.

When using a leave-in conditioner apply only to the ends. Don’t use too much or it may make your hair too greasy.

Some regular conditioners can be used as a leave-in. Some helpful tips include:

  • Avoid conditioners that are silicon-heavy.
  • Avoid conditioners with protein as they are known to cause irritation when left in.
  • Rinse your hair thoroughly when you wash it.
  • Avoid using the conditioner on your scalp.

It is recommended to test out various conditioners to determine which one is right for you.
