Let's start with a little English lesson. Leave in literally means "leave in" . By this, understand that we leave the treatment in the hair, we do not rinse it. It is preferably applied to damp hair, after shampooing, conditioner or mask. Objective: to deeply nourish dry and brittle hair. A must for curls, but not only.
A leave in is used to moisturize the hair
Leave-in is developed with water and different humectants such as honey, sugar or glycerin. A cocktail that penetrates the hair fiber, hydrates it and retains water. The key is more supple, softer and shinier hair.
A leave in is used to define loops
While this conditioner is suitable for all hair types, it is a must-have for curly, frizzy or kinky hair. Would you like your curls to always be as beautiful as when they are wet? With the leave in conditioner it is possible. By maintaining the hydration of your hair, it allows the curls to be better defined. It coats unruly hair and prepares it for styling.

A leave in is used to facilitate detangling
Once again, this treatment is the best friend of curly, frizzy and kinky hair! After washing, your hair is dry, tangled and full of frizz? The leave-in makes the knots slide, making it easier to detangle and handle before drying, and considerably reduces breakage.

While regular conditioners tend to be too rich, leave-in has a lighter texture that doesn't weigh down the hair fiber. Ideal for oily hair.
A leave in is used to go faster in the morning
When you don't have time to condition your hair in the shower or apply a mask, it's entirely possible to opt for an express routine by applying a leave-in to make detangling easier.
But actually, how do you apply a leave in?
Most leave-ins are used on damp hair. Warm a small amount in your hands and apply it from roots to ends, smoothing your hair between your hands. For curly hair, finish the application by scrunching to help the curls define themselves. Then dry it, which can be done in the open air or with a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment.
