Looking for Healthy, Beautiful Hair? Leave-In Conditioner May Be the Answer

Hair comes in all different types and textures. No matter what hair type you have, curly to straight, soft to coarse, finding a leave-in conditioner may be a wonderful beauty hack to add into your daily routine. Leave-in conditioner can be the answer to the different struggles you may face with your particular hair type, and can especially come in handy in dry climates, or during the winter as the heat indoors dries out both your skin and your hair, causing damage and frizz. Whatever it is that you are looking for, there may be a wonderful, all-natural leave-in conditioner to suit your needs. Here are some great options, and you may already have some handy in your home.

Easy and Natural Leave-In Conditioners

Amazingly enough, there are a couple of options that may already be in your pantry or home that can be used as a leave-in conditioner. Moreover, because these options are so simple and natural, you will be able to read and understand the ingredient list, and can choose to find organic options instead of non-organic!

• Coconut Oil: coconut oil can be a wonderful and simple alternative to other leave-in conditioners, especially for those with coarse, dry, or curly hair. If the coconut oil is in solid form, scooping a small amount onto your fingers and running it through your hair strands may help provide all-day moisture and help combat frizz.
• Sweet Almond Oil: this oil is another amazing leave-in conditioner. Rubbing a little bit of this oil into the ends of your hair while your hair is still damp after a shower will help to maintain moisture and control frizzy and dry hair.

Natural and DIY Options

If you prefer to create your own beauty products, there are some noteworthy DIY leave-in conditioners with all-natural ingredients. As with any DIY, you have full reins of what kind of product to add into your leave-in, and can opt for the healthier, organic choices when possible. Here are a couple of those DIY options:

For all hair types that are needing a bit of added moisture, this leave-in is put into a spray bottle and kept in the fridge for a maximum of three weeks. Shake the bottle before each use, and spritz as much as needed.

•  3⁄4 cup organic aloe vera gel
• 1 cup organic coconut water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon organic jojoba oil
• 2 drops essential oil of your choice(for scent).
• Combine all of the above ingredients in an adequately sized spray bottle, and store in the fridge. Spray in wet or dry hair, and brush or run your fingers through your strands to distribute.

For frizzy or curly hair types that are needing a bit of help in smoothing or softening curls, this leave-in should be used on wet hair, fresh out of the shower, and stored in an airtight container.

• 1⁄2 cup of melted, organic shea butter
• 1 tbsp organic jojoba oil.
