5 reasons you should start using a leave-in conditioner

If you already use moisture-replenishing hair care, you may find that’s all your hair needs. But if your scalp is on the drier side and requires more moisture, leave-in conditioner could hold the key to hydration. Dove Dry Scalp Care Leave-On Treatment is infused with vitamin B3, known to promote a healthy moisturized and balanced scalp.

Porous hair has a raised cuticle layer that allows more moisture to be absorbed from a humid environment. The result? Strands that swell and rearrange themselves into frizz. One of the advantages of leave-in conditioner is that it will boost the benefits of your wash-out conditioner by sealing and smoothing an open, absorbent cuticle.

Curly and coily hair is naturally drier and more porous, so will benefit most from a second layer of conditioner. Dove Amplified Textures Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner has a rich, creamy consistency that provides an extra dose of moisture and protection. Dry curls will drink it up and spring to life – consider it a hybrid conditioning-and-styling product.

Damage from heat and chemical exposure, as well as friction from brushing, sleeping, and extreme weather conditions, all play a part in the gradual wearing away of the hair’s outer lipid layer. Good conditioning hair care works by sealing those gaps, allowing strands to retain moisture and stay smooth for optimum manageability and as a mode of protection.

If you find heavier wash-out conditioners leave your fine hair feeling oily and weighed down, why not try switching it out for a lightweight leave-in? Simply wash your hair, towel dry, then spray on Dove Breakage Remedy Leave-On Treatment and comb through. It promises thicker-looking, stronger hair when used as part of the range’s 3-step system.
