These Leave-In Products Are Basically a Tall Glass of Water for Dry Natural Hair

You’re deep conditioning weekly, getting regular hair trims, and sleeping on satin pillowcases so you can finally have the hydrated, defined, and frizz-free curls of your dreams. So why are they still dry, dull and damaged? Your hard work may feel pointless because you’ve yet to get familiar with a leave-in product for natural hair. And we see no better time than now to change that.

Simply put, leave-in conditioners, primers and treatments make hair less prone to breakage by allowing the hair to hold on to more moisture for longer periods of time. And like styling products for natural hair, there are enough options to leave you feeling so overwhelmed, that you never make a decision. So to help us nail down the best of the best, we turned to Kendall Dorsey, celebrity hairstylist to Solange, Lizzo, Usher, Nicki Minaj, and Cutler Salon senior stylist, Mike Martinez.

Here, they explain their favorite leave-ins for those who regularly put their hair through the wringer and loathe product build-up, and even offer suggestions for those looking for a quick refresher.

Modeled after old school barber elixirs, this primer hydrates and de-tangles all types of hair. “It goes on wet or dry, but the real charm is that you can’t use too much of it,” says Martinez. “It layers well with just about any other product and the tea-tree is a nice touch on the scalp.”
