How many of yall leave in normal conditioner?

[Teja]

I recently bought Frizz Ease first help conditioning cream...its sais on the back that your supposed to wash it out...It gave my hair such beautiful curls that I decided to just leave it in !
Can this leave my hair in any serious risk, or prone to breakage ??
Anyone else do this too ?

I would dilute the conditioner w/ water or rinse most of the conditioner off.

It depends on the ingredients. Shea Moisture's Deep Treatment Masque is supposed to be a deep conditioner, but since it has all natural ingredients, I trust it as a cream to twist my hair with and leave-in. As a matter of fact, I like it better as a styling cream than as a wash-out conditioner.

I use conditioner as leave-ins aaaaaaall the time.

I never read instructions, and if I do, I just ignore them and do what I want to do anyway.

I prefer using conditioner as a leave-in more than traditional leave-ins

 

[BoaterGirlKim]

I used to leave Frizz-Ease Conditioner on my daughter's biracial hair when she was younger because it made her curls stay in spiral shape rather than get fuzzy. She always had a thick, healthy head of hair.

 

[MsChelle]

I use regular conditioners as leave ins all the time. I have not seen any damage from it. I do dilute it some though.

 

[lilyofthenile]

If I use it and it's too thick I'll dilute it with water or oil.

 

[classychic1908]

I use my natural moisturizing DC as a leave in... no complaints here!

 

[WyrdWay]

Been doing it for.... since I've been allowed to do my own hair so about 12 yrs now, I'm 24.

 

[Charla]

I use Aussie Moist wash-out condish as my leave-in. My hair LOVES it! I actually learned this after reading the book Curly Like Me.

 

[winona]

I use Aussie Moist as a leave in if I am wet bunning.

I rinse it completely out and apply a little back into my hair while in the shower so I can distribute it easily. I rinse it completely out because I can never tell exactly how much is left so my crown always ended up with less when it needs more

 

[kittikat24]

I use Aussie Moist conditioner as a moisturiser, and honestly, that's the product that got me thru this 2 year transition

 

[Curlykale]

been doing it since I started transitioning and I only get benefits from it. I don't diluite it because thick stuff keeps my hair softer. The only requirements is
- that they are absolutely protein free
- that they don't have bad alcohols or irritants, generally ingredients that are bad for hair (I use the tightlycurly.com online ingredient dictionary as a reference)

My favourite thing is using a natural moisturizing conditioner as DC and when I remove my plastic cap I seal and style instead of rinsing it out. Conditioners are the only moisturizers that work for me, as well.

Dont mean to thread hijack but my mouth just HIT THE FLOOR when i say MsChelle 's AVI!! OMG LOOK AT HER HAIR!

 

[Mami_Chula416]

I doubt it can be bad for your hair. I use regular conditioner as a leave in when ever i go to the beach. Prevents my hair from drying out from the sun and when i get out of the ocean my hair is soft rather than all hard from the sea salt.

 

[LadyRaider]

I have used reg. conditioners as a leave in often. It works for me, but sometimes conditioners smell like... conditioners and I don't like that smell in my hair.

Because of this, I bought the So Sexy Conditioners from VS and tried that. It worked very well... but like any perfume, by the end of the day.... peeeeuuuuwww. I don't always want to wash my hair every day, but with that stuff, I'd have to.

Leaving in real conditioner works for me. And I've had no adverse effects. Mentally I don't like it, though. The smell and then the coated feel of my hair. I only do it for a wash and go that I can trust (I know it will work.)

Other than that, I use coco cream leave in from shescentit. JC also worked well for me.

 

[greenandchic]

I rarely use rinse out conditioners as leave ins because my hair always feel and look coated or filmy. I should try diluting them to see what happens...

Yes I forgot that. I do coat my hair with conditioner before I go to Mr. Splashy's Water Bootcamp class. Can't get out of there without wet hair!

I agree!!!!!! My hair THRIVES off conditioner!!

I cowash DAILY with Aussie Moist 3-Minute Miracle (even though it's a "deep conditioner). I leave in regular, full strength Aussie Moist Conditioner with Shea Moisture Curl Smoothie over it DAILY. No breakage at all! As a matter of fact, my ends have never looked better, my hair is strong, shiny and healthy and I rarely need more than a dusting, which I get every 12-16 weeks. My stylist always remarks that my ends look so good! It's my conditioning regimen! I also overnight or hooded dryer deep condition with Joico Moisture Recovery Balm weekly and protein bi-weekly with Giovanni. Conditioner is my STAPLE and my hair is GROWING!

I HATE "Leave-in" CONDITIONERS! They're wimpy and watered down. They usually leave my hair hard and crunchy, and they don't do anything for my thick, porous, course hair! Total waste of money in the past!!

 

[Whimsy]

i love condishies, I leave in some regular ones all the time. So far, no ill effects.

 

[Miss*Tress]

You're not the only one - my hair always looks dull when I don't thoroughly rinse out the conditioner.

 

[crr0121]

I use HE LTR all the time as a leave in (because they stopped sellin the actual leave in in my area). It gives my WNG's and braidouts perfect hold, moisture and shine. I wouldn't do this with a protein conditioner though but like someone else says, it depends on the ingredients. But I've had no adverse reactions, I actually think it's helped me retain my length.

 

[BrookeLynn]

I HAVE to wash out conditioner. I have a sensitive scalp that is prone to flaking and itching. Plus my hair is not porous so that stuff would probably sit on my hair like slime. I can't even co-wash without issues. Maybe I'll try diluting some and see if that helps with my moisture retention and shrinkage with wash and gos and puffs.

 

[MsChelle]

MsLizziA I will take that as a compliment since I regularly wish your hair were growing out of my head!

 

[MsChelle]

I use Aussie Moist wash-out condish as my leave-in. My hair LOVES it! I actually learned this after reading the book Curly Like Me.

I use Aussie Moist as well. My hair LOVES it as a leave in. I dilute it with water and add coconut oil.

 

[SmilingElephant]

For the past two wash n go's I've been using my V05 conditioner as a leave in. I think I'm gonna continue this bc it doesn't leave my hair white and it weighs my hair down the way I like it.

The actual leave ins have now will just be used as moisturizers and styling aids for twists and puffs.

 

[BraunSugar]

It's never done me or anyone I know any damage. Sometimes I partially rinse depending on the conditioner if it leaves a slight film on my hair. Otherwise, I leave it.

 

[kandake]

Another Aussie Moist fan. I love using the conditioner as a leave-in. That stuff is great. But I took a break from it to use Oyin Hair Dew.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I leave in my conditioner (currently tresemme) every time I co-wash which is 3+ times a week. No issues whatsoever.

Ditto!!
