FAQs
What is leave-in conditioner?
A leave-in conditioner is a lightweight conditioner that you leave on your hair. It provides more benefits to scalp and hair protection because it is a foundational styling product. This is the first product generally placed on your hair after towel-drying.
Do I need to use this everyday?
If your hair is dry, tangles easily, or is in need of body and luster, then a leave-in conditioner will be key for your daily routine. In addition to this, if you color or lighten your hair and have exposure to pollution and direct sunlight you will need a leave-in conditioner to keep your hair color intact and in great condition.
Why do I need a UV protectant?
Our scalp is made up of living cells which will become damaged by direct UV contact, leading to sunburn or skin cancer. Similarly your hair luster and shine will decrease, causing damage to your hair if you do not use a UV protectant.
Can I use this to style my hair?
Leave-in conditioners send light hydration and moisture directly on your hair which can be great if you want to emphasize wavy, curly and coily textures.
Why should I use a protein-free leave-in?
Protein-sensitive hair is hair that is extremely sensitive to the effects of protein (the ingredient) in hair products. When hair is exposed to too much protein you actually cause more harm than good and will begin to experience negative results such as dry hair, dull hair, and breakage.
What does protein do to hair extension?
Protein on your hair extensions will dehydrate them quickly and prematurely, leading you to dry, brittle hair that becomes unmanageable as well as breakage. This is due to the chemical processing your hair extensions go through before getting to you. This process can melt away your hair's natural hydration barrier, the cuticle. Therefore, protein tends to dehydrate hair on contact. Switching your hair care to protein free products will preserve your hair and prevent damage, as it works to supplement essential daily nutrients.
