No. 4: Infusium (Repair)ologie Leave-In Treatment, $4.99

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 9.2*
Why: One avid user of this leave-in treatment says, "this is an excellent product for severely abused hair. Mine is pretty much fried from years of highlights and daily blow drying and curling iron use, and this has really helped. It makes my hair softer and shinier, and I believe it's helping with the breakage issues I've been having. I'll be buying this stuff forever." Another says, "it has kept my hair healthy for years no matter what I do to it. I LOVE this product!!" One woman says, "I love that it's cheap and I can use as much as I want." Another asserts, "I have been using this conditioner for about 17 years now and will always use it."

That is a good list

Any women over 40 or getting close can tell weird stuff starts to happen, can't lose weight, acne and finally frizzy hair. I'm not sure when it happened, but my natural color turned to dishwater blond, and my natural curls have turned to FRIZZ! So I went to my wonderful and really expensive hair dresser to have the usual cut and color and when she went to wash my hair she said that they just got a new shampoo and conditioner called Shielo and that is smelled great. So she washes my hair and OMG - is she right - it smelled incredible but then she put the conditioner in and ran it through my hair and within one minuet she could run her fingers through it with no problem, I was amazed. Its the Hydrating line from the Shielo line. When I used the Shielo products on my hair at home and was amazed again that it smelled great but was so smooth and tangle free, my hair is long and very fine so is also easily weighted down and tangled but now it is soooo easy to style I cant believe my hair feels this good after a color and after blow drying.

I always use a leave-in conditioner..and it does make a difference allright. Unfortunately, nothing heals split ends fully..they (so far) have to be cut. My hair looks good to very good with a leave-in plus gel.

Not a big fan of these leave in treatments. I've true numerous brands ,but for me it makes my hair look like I haven't washed it ad nasty looking.

by Lani702 Friday, November 2, 2012 at 10:18PM Report as inappropriate

I'll need to pick some of these up

by GingerDrink Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 02:45PM Report as inappropriate

I haven't tried any of these yet. I currently use either Moroccan oil or a Dove one on alternating washes.

Almost out of my Sexy Hair Soy leave in, so I might try one of these.

I love Joico conditioners. They are pricey, but this is a case whre you definitely get what you pay for!

awesome

by Nicole2814 Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at 07:23PM Report as inappropriate

The best conditioner I have ever used is Pro Naturals Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner, the argan oil hydrates and strengthens my hair making it nice and healthy. Plus the extra shine is appreciated! Thanks for the informative article :)

I love leave in conditioners, they make a huge difference in my hair.

by TBjunkie Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at 12:27AM Report as inappropriate

My fried hair would die without a thick, creamy leave-in! Really good picks in here.

by pynkNymphette Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 12:08AM Report as inappropriate

hmm..i might try a few. I don't use a lot of leave in conditioners unless its spray! The cream ones are to heavy for my hair!

by Mishashawnea Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 05:32PM Report as inappropriate

the redkin one sounds great. i have very fine hair that tangles easily, but also gets weighed down easily, so leave-in conditioner is tricky! i might be trying that one though...

by mlenaei Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 10:16AM Report as inappropriate

I think I'll try the Redken for my daughter's damaged hair!

by powerwoman033 Sunday, March 18, 2012 at 06:45PM Report as inappropriate

great might try redken

by Nicole2814 Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 09:07PM Report as inappropriate

I'm gonna try Redken.

by gabster14 Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 01:26PM Report as inappropriate

bought Redken live-in today. Gonna try it now... so excited to see whether its that good

by 4getu123 Friday, January 27, 2012 at 07:11AM Report as inappropriate

I would love to try the Redken

I love Redken's Smooth Down. It's super luxurious and makes my curly hair feel soft.

by sweettpea29 Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 01:23PM Report as inappropriate

i want to try other leave in conditioners so i can fine my perfect one

by Nicole2814 Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 10:35PM Report as inappropriate

I might consider using a leave in conditioner

by Flicky_95 Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at 10:33PM Report as inappropriate

i need to get myself no. 1 and no. 2 ponto :)

by anna_davis Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 01:01PM Report as inappropriate

i always worry that leave in conditioners will leave my hair too greasy and volume-less

by gisellemarie Monday, September 12, 2011 at 02:16PM Report as inappropriate

I adore the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-In cream! It leaves my hair so silky and shiny and smells delicious! The Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness cream looks like a good buy too, so I might have to try that out!

Haven't used Infusium 23 in years. Was fabulous when I last used it.

by attagirl Monday, August 22, 2011 at 03:55PM Report as inappropriate

awesome!

by Bon_Bon Monday, August 15, 2011 at 01:18AM Report as inappropriate

Garnier Fructis has a good leave in conditioner for about $3.

by Mysterylady Friday, July 29, 2011 at 08:47AM Report as inappropriate

Yay! Just the article I needed.

by NaturallyBoho Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 04:14PM Report as inappropriate

That Giovanni is a life-saver!

I agree i love potion 9. I am going to be trying the shown products

by elena62 Sunday, May 22, 2011 at 04:48PM Report as inappropriate

i would have thought potion 9 would be on here. hmm.

by Rawrrr Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 11:38AM Report as inappropriate

Johnson & Johnson Leave-In Detangling Conditioner is also a good one. Inexpensive, smells nice, and does the job.

by LipglossandSpandex Monday, April 11, 2011 at 08:22PM Report as inappropriate

oh looks awesome!

by yckitsmary Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 09:44PM Report as inappropriate

I'm pretty pleased that most of these are relatively cheap. I'm not sure whether I should be using a leave-in though because my hair gets weighed down pretty easily.

by mkgx7 Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 11:40AM Report as inappropriate

KMS hairsprays are definitely worth the price! My hair is thick, in desperate need of a haircut, and gets frizzy very quickly. Spraying KMS while having my hot rollers in has been a heaven sent! I even have curls the next morning.

by BlackFleur145 Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at 06:22PM Report as inappropriate

It's a 10 should have definantly made this list it's by far the best.

by jeff_n_cassie_davis Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 01:07AM Report as inappropriate

thanks for this

by ChrisanneSkye Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 06:52PM Report as inappropriate

I use the Redken leave-in conditioner and I love it. I use a tiny amount after my shower and my hair is much easier to brush through. I have fine hair that is easily tangled and this doesn't make it greasy or weighed down at all. A little goes a long way. I want to try some of the other leave-ins on this list, though, so after I run out, I'll have to come back to this list.

by starrkissed Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 01:23PM Report as inappropriate

gonna try the herbal essences one :)

by judyangel101 Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 06:53PM Report as inappropriate

must try these!!

by Bon_Bon Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 10:40PM Report as inappropriate

Great Article. I have long loved Potion 9 by Sebastian but think I might give some of these a try.

by Agrimony Friday, February 11, 2011 at 03:25AM Report as inappropriate

OMG I just found my newest shopping list. ;)

by royalpoison Friday, January 21, 2011 at 09:05PM Report as inappropriate

by kenya Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 10:39PM Report as inappropriate

Redken is my favorite shampoo and conditioner!

by pynkNymphette Monday, November 22, 2010 at 06:52PM Report as inappropriate

I'm going to be running out of my leave-in conditioner soon and this helped me out a lot! I will totally buy one from the list. I love articles like this, keep up the good work! :)
