Don’t Even Bother Attempting a Smooth Blowout Without Leave-In Conditioner

September 8, 2021

1 Min read

Leave-in conditioner’s exact purpose may be hard to pin down thanks to its ambiguous name, but the good news is that the product is more multipurpose than it leads on. Whether you have fine hair, damaged hair, dry ends, or a rough hair texture, a leave-in conditioner can help. Forget about using a hundred different gels, serums, and oils (like jojoba oil, coconut oil, and argan oil) separately. There’s no need to spend more time on your hair than you need to! 

One of leave-in’s many uses includes lending a smoothing hand when you’re looking to get a salon-quality blowing at home. Learn step by step how to achieve a glossy, bouncy blowout thanks to the leave-in conditioner below.

Tips on using leave-in conditioner

  1. Start with damp, towel-dried hair 

 

  1. Spray one to two pumps of leave-in conditioner on strands (no need to rinse) 

 

  1. Repeat until your entire head is coated, focusing on lengths and ends 

 

  1. Use a comb or detangling brush to distribute product evenly through your hair 

 

  1. Rough dry your hair on a medium heat using the concentrator nozzle 

 

  1. Focus on your roots until strands are about 60% dry 

 

  1. Re-apply one to two pumps of leave-in conditioner to the lengths of your hair 

 

  1. Split your hair into sections and clip them up and out of the way 

 

  1. Start on one side and use a round brush to blow dry your hair 

 

  1. Follow the brush down from your roots and curve through ends 

 

  1. Finally, keep your hair straight or finish it off by styling with other hot tools, or leave it as is

What is leave-in conditioner?

Leave-in conditioner can function as a detangler, help to prolong your wash day, shield against color fading out, and overall add to the moisture in your hair. In addition, a leave-in conditioner can help add to the shine and manageability of your hair before and after a blowout. 

Committing to a few seconds of leave-in conditioner spritzes might drastically change how—and how often—you style your hair. It may mean the difference between washing every day and taking a few days off. 

Leave-in conditioners are typically thought of as sprays or creams that are applied to clean, towel-dried hair before you style. Yes, they give an extra boost of moisture and protection in this way—but there’s more to love about them than their smoothing properties.

Leave-in conditioner benefits

The best leave-in conditioner can help hairstyling in various ways, and it can also help to limit frizz and flyaways, leaving your hair more smooth, manageable, and polished. 

Although our leave-in conditioner cannot undo hair breakage, it can certainly help to add moisture and conditioning to hair strands that are damaged or compromised. Split ends can receive some extra TLC when you use our leave-in conditioner. Whatever your hair type, this leave-in is truly a wonderful addition to your hairstyling routine.

A leave-in conditioner can also help with frizz in your hair. The added hydration can help to keep unwanted frizz at bay. Each of your strands will feel more nourished when you use a custom, specialized conditioning spray that was crafted just for you. Your hair cuticle can soak up some extra moisture and feel replenished.

You don’t have to worry about your hair feeling or looking dry because our leave-in conditioner can help bring smoothness to your hair and repair damage.

Why Prose leave-in conditioner?

Many leave-ins can bring moisture to your hair strands and help to detangle after washing, but here at Prose, we look deeper into products and ingredients. After completing our free and easy online consultation, you will be provided with product suggestions based on your hair type, your environment, and your hair’s specific needs. 

Our custom leave-in conditioner is more than just a product, it’s your product. We make your haircare journey yours and yours alone. This easy-to-use mist can be applied to damp hair, or damp, towel-dried hair. The lightweight formula of this leave-in detangling spray makes it easier to comb through or style your hair. Finding a solution for healthy hair has never been so simple.

In addition to natural ingredients, if you mention that your hair has color treatments during your consultation, your customized leave-in may include extra color-protecting ingredients.

Does the leave-in conditioner double as a heat protectant?

Custom leave-in conditioner may be used as a moisturizing mist and style primer on damp hair. It may also be used as a detangler on damp, towel-dried hair before or after washing. With your own custom formula, you’ll get further instructions and a step-by-step procedure. Custom leave-in may also be used as a heat protectant before heat style since it has been lab-tested to protect strands up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

There’s nothing like jumping out of the shower and protecting your hair right before you style it.

Leave-in conditioner ingredients at Prose

Although your haircare with Prose will be unique and individual to you, we feature specific natural ingredients in our leave-in conditioners. You can take a look at our full list of ingredients (including vitamin E and shea butter) and learn more about how they can help and support your hair. 

Your leave-in conditioner could feature oat oil to aid with color protection, grapeseed oil to support overall hair health, or pea protein for heat protection. Choose your scent based on your preferences as well.

Alcohol, phthalates, GMOs, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and mineral oil are all absent from Prose bespoke leave-in conditioner. The leave-in conditioner, like all Prose products, is cruelty-free.

Other helpful products to try

Our leave-in conditioner can stand alone as a styling product, but if you have curly hair, you may also want to give our custom curl cream a try. This cream defines your natural texture—from waves to curls and coils—while keeping strands moisturized and frizz-free when used as a styler or for touch-ups.

In addition to styling, it’s great to start your hairstyling with the best cleanser and conditioner for your hair. We create personalized shampoo and conditioner for your hair type, and this sets you on the right foot for the rest of your hair routine. 

We also recommend trying our leave-in conditioner with our custom hair oil. Apply your leave-in conditioner to damp or dry hair, then seal in moisture with hair oil to avoid greasy residue. Then, blow-drying will be a breeze. Moisture will be locked into your hair, and smoothness is easily achievable with our leave-in conditioner and hair oil.

Another product to try adding into your routine is our pre-shampoo scalp mask. This mask adds moisture to hair while cleansing and balancing your scalp.

If you are wondering if Prose’s leave-in conditioner will meet your formula preferences, don’t worry. During the consultation, you can request a silicone-free or fragrance-free formula.

In conclusion

We proudly feature a custom leave-in conditioner that helps your hair in a multitude of ways, including keeping it healthy with natural and science-based products. You don’t have to look any further for products you can trust, because our ingredients have been studied and examined by our in-house R&D team in order to help support your hair in just the way you need.

Whether your hair needs extra moisture or just simple detangling, our custom leave-in conditioner will meet your hair with whatever it needs. All you have to do is tell us about your hair. We can’t wait to learn more about your unique hair.
