10 best leave-in conditioners to transform your hair from meh to amazing

The missing step that may just be what your lacklustre hair needs
Not everyone needs to use a leave-in conditioner, but there’s a good chance it’s the missing link between you having ok hair or *great* hair. While leave-in conditioners may be an extra step, they really go the extra mile. Your hair will reap the benefits of added nourishment, reparative nutrients and protection from further damage. They make your hair soft, shiny and manageable, which IOHO is reason enough to treat your tresses to one.
Every hair type can use a leave-in conditioner; the trick is to choose the right formula. Oils may be too heavy for fine hair, so try a conditioning spray instead. Whereas thick hair needs a richer cream. For damaged hair, look for formulas that contain keratin or other proteins to rebuild the hair structure. If frizz is your biggest woe, look for treatments with cuticle-smoothing silicone.
