Dry hair loves leave in conditioners from Milk Shake, Nexxus, AG Hair Cosmetics and Living Proof!

Finding good leave in conditioners for dry, fine hair can be tricky - you need something that does a good job but at the same time, you want to make sure it doesn't weigh your hair down! I've been trying lots of them lately and here are a few I've found that add plenty of moisture, fight frizz and split ends and won't make your hair look greasy or heavy:


Milk Shake Leave In Conditioner - 350ml - $21.28 - specifically formulated to condition normal to lightly dry hair and generate optimum inner hair moisture balance and outer hair protection. - with milk proteins, rice and avocado oils, fruit and honey extracts, special silicone and hydrating agents that revitalize and improve shine as well as Vitamin E and a sun filter.

I think it's meant to smell just like it's name - a vanilla milk shake, put it actually smells more like instant vanilla pudding to me - either way, your hair will smell good enough to eat/drink! I like the spray in format which makes it much easier to control how much product you add.

Find it at Donato Salon + Spa.

Nexxus Pro-Mend Split End Binding Targeted Leave-In Treatment Creme - 141ml - $9.99 - it's claim is that it repairs 92% of split ends after just one use so hair looks and feels freshly cut and I have to agree, my split ends practically disappeared but it took me about 3 uses for that to happen. I have heard some people complain about the smell being too strong but I don't agree, I find it very pleasant and sweet and not noticeable at all once it's in my hair!

AG Hair Cosmetics Fast Food Leave On Condition - 178ml - $16  - nourishes and detangles dry, lifeless hair, with an ultralight formula that helps prevent split ends, adds moisture, shine and vitality. I like how light this is in both smell and texture. Go to www.aghaircosmetics.com to find a salon near you.

Living Proof frizz Leave In Conditioner - 118ml - $21 - moisture restoring for dry or damaged hair - I don't love the smell which is a light floral scent but once it's in my hair I don't notice it. This one does the best job out of all of them taming my frizzies and flyaways, hence the name. Available at The Shopping Channel - www.theshoppingchannel.com and Sephora.
