Can anyone recommend a nice, moisturizing leave-in conditioner with lots of slip? Because what I have is SO not cutting it!

Sent from my M860

 

[MaraWithLove]

IDareT'sHair That's so nice of you to do! Also, congrats on resisting temptation so far!

[kellistarr]

HITS: Chi Organics Olive Glaze- Smells like a lemon pie. Lays down my edges and hair and keeps it laid better than any gel , pomade or wax.

Hair Potion Leave In- My own. I love it. It works better than the gazillions of commercial leave-ins I own. It gives my hair shine, and moisture. Works on dry as well as wet hair. My hair absorbs it well.

Misses- Hair Potion Leave In- I made this back in May; what I don't like is that one of my oils used is Neem oil, not a fan of its over-powering scent.

 

[Golden75]

I wondered about the CHI Organics Olive line. I've only seen it in one place.
