The only thing that really works to keep my tresses tame during the summer is leave-in conditioning treatments. These miracle workers help restore sun-damaged hair, leaving it healthy, smoother, and a lot shiner whether you're dipping in the pool, hitting the beach waves, or just hanging in the sun for hours. What I love about leave-in conditioners is how they deeply hydrate hair without leaving it greasy or weigh down. And unlike most conditioners, leave-ins are applied after you get out of the shower and left in your hair until your next wash.
