Why Your Curly Hair Needs A Leave-in Conditioner This Winter

By Shammi Mondal

As the temperature drops, your curly hair has a different mood altogether. Sometimes it looks flat, the other times it keeps company with frizz. We know you’re tackling this with copious amount of conditioner, but that’s not the only trick in the book.

We'd like to introduce you to leave-in conditioners: Think of them as upgraded versions of your conditioner. They make your hair softer and more manageable without altering its natural texture. Essentially, this is a hair care product that understands your requirements.

What Are Leave-in Conditioners?  

Leave-in conditioners, often known as no-rinse conditioners, are moisturising hair products that are designed to be applied to damp hair after washing.  Leave-in conditioners are available in a variety of formulas that treat a wide range of hair troubles. They are suitable for all hair types, although curly hair will benefit the most.

Why Your Curls Love Extra Hydration?  

If you have curls, you are already aware that your hair needs the extra moisture.  

Curly hair is quite porous, which means it absorbs moisture rapidly but loses it just as swiftly—this is where leave-in conditioners comes in. They hydrate hair and lock in moisture for a longer period of time, reducing dryness, frizz, and breakage.

How Do Leave-in Conditioners Work?

Alleviates dryness: Unlike regular conditioners, you don’t have to rinse out leave-in conditioners, which help them lock in moisture and soak your hair in nutrients that make them soft and hydrated.  

Helps define your curls: Leave-in conditioners that are also curl creams add the extra moisture and also give your hair some hold.

Takes care of frizz: Curly hair often becomes frizzy due to excessive dryness. A leave-in conditioner coats each strand with moisture so it appears smoother.   

How To Apply It?

After your wash, apply the product on towel-dried hair. Smooth it out with your palms, concentrating on the mid-length to the ends. Use a detangling comb to evenly distribute the leave-in conditioner. You can also scrunch your ends after application to improve the appearance of your curls.
