When it comes to leave-in conditioners, my initial experiences harken back to their emergence as a popular hair care trend, which I believe took place in the early 2000s. However, my perception of them hasn’t always been positive. In the past, I often found them too heavy, leaving my hair looking lackluster. Despite finding a few exceptions, such as Aveda, most leave-in conditioners didn’t appeal to me. Nevertheless, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in textures and formulas over time, although I suspect there are still some subpar products on the market.
The Ouai Leave In Conditioner comes with a convenient spray nozzle, but I recommend applying it to your hand first, rather than directly onto your hair. It should be applied through the lengths of towel-dried, freshly shampooed hair, replacing your regular conditioner. The consistency is light and spreadable, similar to a loose lotion, making it easy to apply without overdoing it. Infused with an amino acid blend and Vitamin E, this formula left my hair feeling soft, silky, and well-hydrated without appearing fly-away. I used it last night, and this morning my hair has all the volume and bounce I could wish for. What I particularly appreciate is that it simplifies conditioning to a quick spritz-and-go, cutting my hair routine time significantly. I didn’t need to use much – just about six spritzes into my hands, so I anticipate this bottle will last quite a while.
