Leave-In Conditioner & Treatments

Choosing a leave-in conditioner for your hair type

The right leave-in depends on your hair's texture and what it needs most:

• Dry hair: a richer cream or balm adds softness without rinsing out. Try Matrix Biolage HydraSource Daily Leave-In Cream, Affinage Cleanse & Care Miracle Leave In Balm, Nak Hair Replends Creme Leave In Moisturiser or Paul Mitchell Full Circle Leave In Cream.
• Fine hair: a light spray or mist conditions without weighing hair down. Wella Elements Conditioning Leave in Spray, Nook Avena&Riso Leave In and Nak Hair Hydrate Detangle Mist are good places to start.
• Curly hair: a leave in conditioner for curly hair helps curls feel softer and easier to define. Look at Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Curls Leave In Treatment and REVLON PROFESSIONAL RE/START Curls Nourishing Conditioner and Leave-In. For curl creams, gels and more, see our curly hair products.
• Coloured and blonde hair: Pureology Color Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray, Redken Acidic Color Gloss Leave In and Nook Magic Argan Oil Blonde Story 2-Phase Leave-In Conditioner are made with coloured or blonde hair in mind.

Leave-in treatments for dry, damaged hair

A leave in hair treatment works like a hair mask you don't rinse out, so it keeps working while you style. For hair that's been through lightening or regular heat, our range includes K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask, Kobo PeptidePro Repair Leave-in Hair Mask, L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Absolut Repair Molecular Leave-in Mask and Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave In Treatment.

How to use leave-in conditioner and detangling sprays

After washing with your usual conditioner, gently towel-dry your hair. Spray or work your leave-in through the mid-lengths and ends, then comb through with a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush before styling. Start with a small amount and add more only where hair still feels dry.

If knots are your main problem, a detangling spray or fluid such as Nak Hair Hydrate Detangle Mist, Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Moisture Nutritive Detangling Fluid or Drybar Prep Rally Prime & Prep Detangler makes brushing easier. Many people layer products too: a leave-in first, then a few drops of hair oil or hair serum to finish. Explore the range and find your go-to leave-in at glamaCo, online or in-store.
