I really love HE LTR leave in. I'm sad to say that this weekend i looked in two stores and there wasn't any so i had to purchase the Neutrogena triple moisture leave in

I picked up a bottle yesterday at the grocery store. Try doing a store look up @ Wally
for availability.

I'm still in search of a good leave in so I'm taking notes here.

HE LTR! it's the bestttt.

Yes it is!
But when I use it, it gives me a brownish tint that I don't like, I prefer black hair.

(natural with fine hair)

AG Fast Food

 

[jasmin]

For me...
Brocato Saturation leave in
AG Fast Food

I've tried almost every leave mentioned except HE LTR.

Now I'm looking for a really good one without all the proteins.

 

[Smiley79]

Which of the previous mentioned Leave-Ins have proteins?

Giovanni Direct Leave-In (works great on my natural AND on my relaxed hair).

 

[Aggie]

I am texlaxed, I like Salerm 21 with B5, Rusk Sensories Smoother leave-in with passionflowers and aloe, and Giovanni Direct leave in and also I like them in that order.

 

[Allandra]

Salerm 21 is also a good one.

At first I didn't like Rusk smoother leave in, but now I realize it works best for me on wet to damp hair.

Transitioning...

I haven't tried Paul Mitchell's The Conditioner yet or Giovanni Direct, but they are on my hit list...

I can co-sign with Elucence Moisture Balance though!!! I washed my hair 2 days ago and used it, followed by Oyin Whipped, and my hair is still so moisturized and soft (but not oily at all). This may be my new staple.

As somebody said, DevaCurl One Condition is awesome, but I haven't tried it as a leave-in yet.

Profectiv leave in
Lacio Lacio
Salerm 21
HE LTR (only used it on dry hair though)

I use a mixture of Giovanni smooth as silk (for slip) and Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose (for moisture and the good smell) as a leave-in. I've tried them both separately as leave-ins and the SAS left my hair smooth, but too feather-light, and the HSR left it very moisturized, but kind of heavy and without slip. When I combined them it was perfect. I only use a little, though, on damp hair.

Thanks Muffin. I have both of those. Never thought about using them this way. Very helpful.
