Can you explain how you use HE HH as a leave-in? I am finding it hard to wrap my mind around using a "normal" co as a leave-in, but I been reading CN and it seems to be a normal thing to do. But how much? You do it with your hair wet or dry?
FbN found sources that state information supporting the fact that rinse out conditioners can in fact be used as a leave in on wet hair.
The beauty brains:
Rinse out conditioners are typically made with heavier ingredients (and they generally conditioner better) because they contain a combination of “fatty” chemicals and high molecular weight silicones.
You don’t usually find these ingredients in leave in conditioners because they weigh the hair down too much.
Now, if you have hair that’s really thirsty for conditioning, all bets are off. And while most leave ins don’t make very good rinse out products (because they’re not designed to stay on the hair after rinsing), many rinse outs could work well as a leave in.
Rinse out and Leave in products are formulated to have different functionality, but they can overlap.
Over at the Naturally Curly Forums a member recalls her experience:
since most of CGs need that moisture, many of us use our regular rinse out conditioners as leave in. How much you need depends on your individual hair needs, but I can't remember the last time I used an actual "leave in" conditioner. I just use a smaller amount of my regular conditioner to leave in, and it works much better for me.
What do the readers of FbN think? What were your results when using a rinse out conditioner as a leave in?
