Marco Pelusi Marco Anti-Frizz Leave-In Conditioner$35.00It's easy to see why Marco Color Anti-Frizz Leave-In Conditioner with Collagen Color Guard is hairstylist Marco Pelusi's signature product. Just one or two pumps miraculously detangle knots and tame frizz on all hair types. (Flat hair? Stick with a half-pump.) Collagen temporarily fills holes in the hair shaft, making even ...More |

Sebastian Professional Potion 9$15.95This mid-weight leave-in treatment smoothes flyaways after blowdrying, but it's more of a styling cream. Run a dime-size portion (more makes hair crunchy) through a wet mop to "define and detangle" curls. The slippery mix of silicones and moisturizing oils, including jojoba and olive oils, give hair luster and sil...More |

Aussie Opposites Attract ConditionerAussie Opposites Attract Protect and Soften Conditioner is moisturizing enough for dry hair but light enough to not weigh down fine hair. It's pretty amazing, the balance they've struck. When used with the Opposites Attract shampoo, my hair was soft and very shiny with plenty of bounce both after the first application and t...More |

Bumble and bumble Leave In Conditioner$23.00This creamy leave-in conditioner is so much more than a simple moisturizer or detangler. Yes it helps smooth dreadlock-like knots out of long hair, but it also doubles as a styling cream. I mix mine with shine serum before I blow-dry to create the perfect hair-smoothing cocktail. You can also use it as a rinse-out detangler...More |

Wen Cucumber Aloe Cleansing Conditioner$28.00Looking for a sulfate-free, extra gentle hair cleanser? The two-in-one, non-lathering Wen Cleansing Conditioner may be for you. Upon first use, your hair may feel weighed down with product buildup -- mine did. This was because I wasn't using enough of the creamy product, so read the directions. My shoulder-length, medium-th...More |

Pantene Always Smooth Conditioner$5.19This hefty, silicone-y smoother (a reformulated version of Smooth and Sleek) banks serious moisturizing power. Thick- or coarse-haired women will find their frizz reborn manageable. It makes drying thick hair noticeably easier, though who can really tell if it's "75 percent smoother," as the label claims? Those wi...More |

Aveda Smooth Infusion Conditioner$20.00This claims to "smooth and soften hair up to 60 percent." We're not quite sure how to measure those results at home, but we can say when used with Smooth Infusion Shampoo it softens hair and makes creating straight styles less of a nuisance. The creamy lotion-like texture adds just enough weight to medium-thick, w...More |

Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Heat Defense Conditioning Spray$3.39Heavy on the conditioners and light on the price, this delivers an airy spray evenly over wet hair for less-damaging blowdrys. The spray gun makes it easy for normal to fine hair to monitor coverage. Thick- and coarse-haired will need to add more of the moisturizing, non-sticky spray for shine and frizz protection. While th...More |

Redken Blonde Glam Conditioner$10.99Redken appears to have kept in mind that blondes tend to have dry hair, especially if they've highlighted. This rich, thick formula feels more like a deep treatment than a basic daily conditioner. Used with Blonde Glam Shampoo, it leaves hair shiny and smelling great. Used alone, it leaves strands amazingly soft but not alw...More |

Paul Mitchell The Conditioner$7.16Whenever my non-fragrance-wearing boyfriend puts this thin, electric blue gel in his hair, I think he's wearing cologne. The soap-y scent is light and pleasant, but may be too masculine for some. The conditioner (which doubles as a moisturizing shaving gel) smoothes hair without adding weight; a dime-sized squirt leaves dry...More |
