Leave in hair conditioners actually only add a little bit of coating on the hair layer. Unlike other hair conditioners, leave in conditioner is usually much lighter on the hair and is less viscous and less prone to crystallizing.

Some leave in hair conditioners are much better than others.  The phrase, “you get what you pay for”, always comes in handy when deciding on the right kind of leave in.  Typically, a leave in conditioner is used on heavily damages hair and can help to treat overly dry hair from getting worse.  Another reason you might use a leave-in type condtioner is if you have really curly hair and cannot manage it like those with straight, thinner hair.

Leave-in conditioners are used by those with heavy, curly hair so they can manage it better.  Basically, the detangler agent in the conditioner is what is at work here.  A lot of times people with those hairstyles cannot get a brush or comb through the hair without forcing it through.  With leave-in conditioner, they are able to comb or brush the hair with ease and causing less stress on the hair shaft.

There are many products available and even more recipes on the web that will allow you to make your own leave-in conditioner.  Basically things like Olive Oil are a major ingredient, but we are not going to talk about that right now.  Don’t be mistaken either, leave-in hair conditioner is both for woman & men.  It is actually a better product for men because most men don’t use conditioner at all.  It’s something that can be applied quickly and really help with the health of your hair.

Flatirons are nice and you would think that all of the are created equally.  Well, you would be wrong.  The Chi flatiron is so popular that there are even counterfeit products on the market.  That I was quite surprised to read.  There must be something special with the Chi flatiron.

Hair is hair, right?  Well, in effect it is correct, but you have to make sure you aren’t putting chemicals onto your hair that will hurt it in the long run.  If you have hair that is coarse, tangles easily or is just hard to brush, maybe horse shampoo is going to work.

What Does Mane & Tail Shampoo Do For My Hair?

Most brands of horse shampoo claims to gently remove dirt and clean your hair.  The shampoo is a concentrate, but can be used at full strength.  The shampoo works quickly and eliminates anything in your hair that isn’t wanted without damaging it.  With Panthenol and silk protein spread deeply into the hair to deep condition your skin, preventing dryness or dandruff.

The silk molecules inside the shampoo reflect prism light giving your hair a rich, natural shine as it restores the hairs beauty.

If your hair is already oily (see products for your hair type), thin and doesn’t need much attention in the morning or after a shower, then I am not sure horse shampoo would even be needed in your case.

If your hair is like horse hair, why not give it a try?  After actually purchasing some horse shampoo from a local store, I read the back of the bottle and it really sounded like they were pitching the shampoo to humans.  It was sort of funny in that respect, because I knew I wasn’t buying human shampoo.  It appears that all of the chemicals in the shampoo are normal and really wouldn’t have any adverse effect on your hair if you should decide to use it.

The one thing that I should mention is that most horse shampoo is concentrated, so only a little amount is needed.  With that said, I would even go as far to say that you shouldn’t even use the shampoo every day.  Using the horse shampoo every other day or even one time a week might give you the results that you were looking for.

Although the idea of using horse shampoo is popular, most people still haven’t thought of it as an option with thick, long hair.  Don’t forget that if it works for you, it can be kept as your little known beauty secret
