Default Leaving conditioner in hair!?

I've been trying something different lately (taken from MahoganyCurls on YT), and I've been leaving my conditioner in my hair instead of rinsing it out like I usually would. I just wanted to say...OMG I am LOVING this! My hair feels SO soft and moisturized, without feeling GREASY! My hair stays moisturized longer (which allows my hair styles to last longer), and I'm using less product now, which cuts down on styling time! I just apply the conditioner in the shower after shampooing and seal it with coconut oil. On days when I'm just using a spray bottle, I use a mix of water, conditioner & coconut oil, and style with gel. I'm starting to like this more than the shea butter mix that I was using before.

I use my rinse out as a leave-in. It works for me better than leave-in products.

I have to rinse it out then reapply it in separate steps because it's goopy in some areas and scarce in others.

My favorite conditioner to use as a leave in is VO5. Just like two weeks ago I let it sit overnight & it felt so good that i refuse to rinse it out. It does work wonders.

I tried to do this once with HETT and my scalp was really itchy! Maybe I will revisit this with another conditioner.

Thanks Honey! I will definitely try it with that! Hopefully it will work cause sometimes I prepoo with HEHH and I get crazy definition!

Wow, interesting. I'm gonna try this and see how it works out for me. Thanks for sharing.

I did leave Tresemme Natural a couple of times, it left my hair soft but my scalp was not too happy. So, I now use the Generic Paul Mitchell Leave In Conditioner from Sallys.
