If there are any of you that don&#8217;t know the importance of using a leave-in, I want to share with you some tips on how this step will help keep your hair healthy, moisturized, and weather proof.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural hair tends to be a bit more dry during the winter time due to the dry air, heaters cracking at work, home, and in your car, knit hats and beanies being worn, and the list goes on and on. So, it is very important that you incorporate more moisture into your hair regimen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since moisture is what you hair needs during this time, here are a few key benefits to using a leave-in conditioner:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave-ins create an extra layer of moisture on the hair. Applying a leave in after your rinse out your conditioning product adds that extra barrier to the hair locking in more moisture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They help with detangling and improve the hair&#8217;s manageability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave-ins act as a barrier between your hair and heat for those that want to take advantage of the drier air and heat style their hair for a nice blow out or silk press.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave-ins help to combat frizz and add luster, especially to color treated hair.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They come in spray or cream formulas.\u00a0 I am a huge fan of spray leave-ins since you can be as light or as heavy-handed as you want to be when applying them.\u00a0 They also seem to penetrate my low porosity strands better too. My absolute fav is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/midnite-train.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Midnite Train<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Uncle Funky\u2019s Daughter.\u00a0 This lightweight yet impactful, and oh yes delicious smelling leave-in is a must. There isn\u2019t a day that goes by that I don\u2019t use this product! I use it on wash day as well as an inbetween daily refresher. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/thirsty-curls.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirsty Curls<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also a great spray leave-in product that can be used to refresh your curls, coils, and kinks post-styling.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3720\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3720\" style=\"width: 270px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3720\" src=\"http:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Tiffany-Oct-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Tiffany-Oct-1.png 1080w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Tiffany-Oct-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Tiffany-Oct-1-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">For post-styling, <a href=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/thirsty-curls.html\">Thirsty Curls Leave-In Curl Revitalizer<\/a> is the perfect pick-me-up!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave-ins are also essential for the LOC (leave in, oil, cream) or LCO (leave in, cream, oil) method.
