I recommend Gary Null's Heavenly Hair Repair conditioner. Yesterday I used a little as a leave in and this morning, after rinsing with plain water, and I again used a little as leave in,then put my hair in a wet bun, and went to work. Tonight when I took my bun down to comb and plait my hair I had some serious SLIP couldn't believe it 
. I'm not exaggerating. I'm planning to use this conditioner only as a leave, it's too expensive ($17.95 if it's not on sale, for 8.5 oz) to use as a regular conditioner on my thick hair. I just use a drab (size of a dime) on each of my 8 plaits.
I had this all along and I never used it until I dumped my other products and had nothing else to use, go figure!

If I remember correctly, you can get it at the Vitamine Shoppe for around six dollars. That's online, but I'm sure you can find the same or similar price in the store. They also sell it at Whole Foods, but it's a bit more expensive. You can get a trial size there for two dollars and give it a try before you spend more money.

Hopefully Black cardinal should chime in with an answer. I haven't seen a leave in in the stores I checked.

Product marketers will say natural on the label but are not really natural. If the product has too many un recognizable or pronouncable ingredients than I avoid it.

Update (07/26/05): It wasn't the GN conditioner that gave the slip. Two days later, after daily washings, the super slip was gone and I've been trying to regain it every since. That's when I learn it wasn't the GN that gave me the slip (great moisturizer, but no major slip). This week however, after re-reading my journal entry for that weekend, and recreating the experience using my homemade amla oil, I learned that my amla oil was the source. Sorry for the confusion.

What's this: Sodium Hydroxymethylgycinate it doesn't sound very natural.
Never mind: Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate is a broad spectrum antimicrobial that is active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, yeast and mold. It is used at extremely low concentrations between .1% to 1% at the most. It is active at all alkaline pH levels as well as acidic conditions. It acts for both preservation and neutralization, which means it can be used in place of TEA (Triethanolamine) or Sodium hydroxide. It is synergistic with other Preservatives. There are no ingredients used in cosmetics that render sodium hydroxymethylglycinate non-effective. Sodium hydroxymethylgycinate is derived from glycine, which is a naturally occurring amino acid. Traditionally glycine was used a texturizer in cosmetics. It is an amino acid classified as nonessential. Glycine is made up of sweet-tasting crystals, it is used as a dietary supplement and as a gastric Antacid. Amino Acids are widely used in cosmetics because they help penetrate the skin. This preservative can react with certain Essential Oils, specifically citrus and mint oriented. The reaction can cause your product base to change colors, but does not effect the effacacy of the preservative. Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate in aqueous solution decomposes to sodium glycinate and Formaldehyde. Glycine is an essential amino acid, and does not appear to be harmful. So, the regulation of sodium hydroxymethylglycinate as total Formaldehyde should not give any additional safety problem to consumers, as long as the maximum authorized concentration of this compound is maintained.

Carol's Daughter makes a leave in conditioner. I might just have to try it out.
No, Jason doesn't have a leave-in unless you count the liquid one in their Shaman Earthly Organics line. I've tried it and it made my hair dry (it has witch hazel in it--what was I thinking??).
BUT--if you dilute some Jason con in a spray bottle, voila! Leave-in conditioner!
Seriously, though, I tried it with the Lavendar con and it is superb for days when I don't con wash but want to wet my hair.Still, for creamy leave-ins, Giovanni takes the cake
