Leave in conditioner recs?

[notasafeplace]

I need a new leave in conditioner/heat protectant. I prefer sprays and would love if it were under $15.

[sporky]

I have thick, coarse hair and really love the the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-in Conditioner. It is a spray, but it's slightly over $15 if it's not on sale (although it frequently is). I just checked and Ulta does have a travel size for only $5 that might be worth picking up to see how you like it before committing to a full size!

My favorite right now is It's a 10 Miracle Leave In. It's $18 at Ulta. I think they're normal $3.50 off coupon would work on it though.

I use the B&B Hairdresser's Invisible Oil primer and I like it. I have the 8 oz., which I have been using for at least a year-and-a-half, and I'm a quarter of the way through out. So the 2 oz. for $12 should last you just fine! One caveat is that it's a spray but I wouldn't spray it directly on my hair--it's a bit thick for that.

I feel like I have tried them all and seriously prefer it's a 10 miracle leave in spray. I hate the price and that I go through it so quickly though. Matrix also has two miracles sprays that I like and will grab when they are on sale, and I like the sample I just tried of living proofs restore perfecting spray.

These are the two matrix ones that I like a lot....

I just mix together my favourite conditioner and water and spray that in. Works a charm. And is cheap. (I have fine curly hair)

There are some on sale here for $5 that might be worth a try. www.beautybrands.com/category/hair/%245+haircare.do?code=EM14121&utm_source=3Days5DollarHaircare&utm_medium=email&utm_content=5DollarHC&utm_campaign=Wk10&tp=i-H43-Ap-1bA-6DEgO-1n-29Kr-1c-6CelH-1K7LCl

I think I will wait for a sale and try one of the matrix ones. I haven't tried It's a 10, I want to but it's so pricey! I will pick it up next time I have a 20% from Ulta.

That's genius. I didn't know you could do that!

What proportions?

And will just a regular spray bottle work or is it too thick?

I put a squirt (probably close to 1/2 teaspoon) in a small spray bottle with water (about 100ml). Give it a really good shake so it mixes in. It's not thick at all.  I played around with it to figure out how much to use that worked with my hair.  I use it to "wake up" my curly hair on days 2 and sometimes 3.

I love the It's a 10! and I'm not planning on using my 20% off code (good until 4/22) if you'd like it!SaveSave

[notasafeplace]

That's so sweet of you! I actually bought it a few days before the coupon came out *kicks self*.

I do love it though so I'm already curating my Ulta haul and I've added another bottle, even though I've only used it like 4 times. It really is the best!

My favorite has been the regular It's a 10 but I mix other stuff like a couple of Aveda leave in creams. That's for when I blow dry and flat iron which is 99% of the time. I have very, very thick, coarse hair so my it can handle a lot of product.

One of my stylists recommended leaving a little conditioner if I am going to wear it curly. I have done the water plus conditioner method mrsukyankee, mentioned and it works great. I still have to put more products to control it since my hair is so thick and can get wild.

Sorry for the zombie thread, but I was about to post this same question and realized there was already a thread.

Any recs for straight, fine hair? Mine is almost waist length and it's always a mess of knots when I get out of the shower. I don't need heat protectant because I don't heat style. Just something that will detangle without weighing it down.

What about trying one designed for kids? The Honest Co Detangler is what I use for my daughter. It's super tangly in the mornings and this stuff helps so much. It keeps static at bay as well. It may be called a leave in conditioner. It's orange creamsicle scented as a bonus.

If you want cheap, then kids' products are the way to go.  The Suave for Kids detangler works amazingly well on my kids.

I really like the Garnier Fructis 10-in-one leave in spray. It seems to do a good job and it smells awesome.

This will be half off on the last day of the Ulta hair event going on now, I think June 3rd. I want to check it out!

I bought the eprouvage leave in last week during the ulta sale. I have used it twice now and I think I am in love. My hair has looked and felt amazing the last two days. It seriously trumps it's a 10 for me. The reason I bought it was because so many of the reviewers said the same thing. I regret not buying more than one now.
