Just spritz it through damp hair as a primer before adding your usual curl-defining gels, creams, or oils for a boost of softness. Not Your Mother's Royal Honey & Kalahari Desert MelonLeave-In Conditioner, $4.49, available at Ulta Beauty Best For Coily Hair: Mizani 25 Miracle Milk Leave-In TreatmentThere are some products that don't live up to their own names, and then there's Miracle Milk: a xylose and coconut oil-based formula that gives the driest curls a brand-new lease on life with a few spritzes all over. Naturalistas love it so much that Mizani upgraded the size to a jumbo 13.5 ounce bottle. Mizani 25 Miracle Milk Leave-In Treatment, $30, available at Ulta Beauty Best For Dry Hair: Taliah Waajid Daily Leave-in ConditionerIf you forget to re-twist your hair on a late night, a few spritzes of this magic elixir will hydrate your curls instantly. Pro tip: Spray it directly into your hands then finger-comb it through for the best results. Taliah Waajid Daily Leave-in Conditioner , $8.98, available at Amazon Best For Colored Hair: Cantu Leave-In Conditioning Repair CreamLeave it to argan oil to nourish and replenish curls even on your worst day. Safe for colored, relaxed, and textured hair, this repair cream penetrates deep to soften strands — without a ton of fuss. Our editors swear by it. Cantu Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream, $7.26, available at Walmart Best For Thick Hair: Leonor Greyl Tonique Hydratant"For thick hair, it's all about replenishing [lost] moisture," says hairstylist Adir Abergel. He loves applying this treatment once a week. Leonor Greyl Tonique Hydratant, $43, available at Leonor Greyl Best For Definition: Iles Formula Finishing Serum"I love using Iles Forumla Hair Serum as a leave-in conditioner," says Gregory Russell, whose clients include Lily Collins, Nicole Richie, and Hailee Steinfeld. "It softens the hair without being heavy, provides a light amount of definition, and makes your hair feel hydrated. For coarser textures, be a little more liberal with the product." Iles Formula Finishing Serum, $44, available at Neiman Marcus Best For Baby Hairs: SheaMoisture Strengthen & Grow Conditioning Shine GelA-list celeb hairstylist Marcia Hamilton recommends this castor oil-packed leave-in conditioner/shine gel hybrid for smoothing and adding definition.

SheaMoisture Strengthen & Grow Conditioning Shine Gel, $10.69, available at Target Best For Blondes: Unite Hair Care 7 Seconds Detangler"Three or four quick sprays into my hands is enough to make my dry, knotty hair far more manageable," says R29 senior beauty editor Lexy Lebsack. (Tip: Never mist leave-in sprays directly onto hair, which practically ensures an uneven application.) "Whether I air-dry overnight or blowdry, my hair is smoother, softer, and free of tangles. It's lightweight and never greasy, with a hit of protein for stronger hair. It's nothing like any detangler I've tried, because as soon as you apply it, it soaks in instead of coating strands or adding a heavy feeling." Unite Hair Care 7 Seconds Detangler, $29.5, available at Unite Hair Care Best For Frizz: SheaMoisture Strengthen & Restore Leave-In Conditioner"My favorite leave-in is Shea Moisture's," says Danielle Priano, who works with Selena Gomez and several Victoria's Secret Angels. "I would only use this one if you're going to wear your hair curly to keep the frizz out. If you have thin, straight hair, it will make it look a bit greasy." SheaMoisture Strengthen & Restore Leave-In Conditioner, $12.86, available at Walmart Best For Second-Day Hair: Living Proof Restore Repair Leave-InThis curl-friendly formula works wonders for vacation days you want to keep frizz at bay. While it works just as well on freshly-washed hair, if you need a second-day revival, just dampen curls with some water and you can reapply another pump of this — no added buildup included.

"It's somehow both weightless and intensely moisturizing." We don't get it, but we won't question it. Carol's Daughter Mirabelle Plum Leave-In Conditioner, $11, available at NaturallyCurly Best For Dull Hair: Kristin Ess Weightless Shine Leave In Conditioner"This spray is my life," celebrity stylist Kristin Ess said in a product description. "It creates completely weightless shine and detangles better than any other leave-in I've ever used. It seals in moisture and can bring dull hair back to life over time." Kristin Ess Weightless Shine Leave In Conditioner, $10, available at Target Best For Waves: Vernon François Leave-In ConditionerTight coils that suffer from an extreme case of dull frizz will benefit most from this leave-in formula. With a few pumps, your curls are revived to their shiniest form. Bonus: Continued use helps strengthen your hair so that, in the future, you might not have to worry so much about a dehydrated style. Vernon François Leave-In Conditioner, $28, available at Sephora Best For Targeted Application: DevaCurl SuperCream“Leave-in conditioner is to curly hair what gas is to a car. And finding a good leave-in that gives your curls definition without weighing the hair down is a task," Shan Boodram, author, sexologist, and YouTuber tells us. "DevaCurl is my boo, but I only use it on the top pieces — I prefer the middle to have zero product, so I get frizzy volume goodness!” DevaCurl SuperCream , $28, available at DevaCurl Best For Fine Hair: Sachajuan Leave In Conditioner"It's super silky, but doesn't weigh your hair down," celeb stylist Jenny Cho says. "It's great for thinner hair that needs conditioning, but doesn't leave it feeling greasy." Sachajuan Leave In Conditioner, $31, available at Sephora For Color-Treated Hair: Amika Silken Up Dry ConditionerAsk any colorist how to best maintain your dye job and they'll just tell you to wash it less.

Amika Silken Up Dry Conditioner, $24, available at Sephora Best For Curls: O&M; Know Knott Conditioning DetanglerColor-treated, damaged, and dehydrated hair can all reap the benefits of this lightweight leave-in. It's formulated with macadamia oil and vitamin B5 to soften tangled strands and give them shine. It also has UV protectants to keep your color from fading in the sunlight. O&M; Know Knott Conditioning Detangler, $30, available at Sephora Best For Heat-Damaged Hair: It's A 10 Miracle Leave-in ProductConsider this leave-in treatment a multivitamin for your hair. It's packed with bond-building amino acids that leaves any texture softer, smoother, and shiner after one use. It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product, $18.52, available at Ulta Beauty Best For Heat Styling: Kérastase Discipline Anti Frizz Smoothing SprayEngaging in unprotected heat sessions with your hair can end in a blow-fried disaster — especially if your strands are naturally curly. If you're giving up the heat to embrace your curls, using this leave-in will ensure that your hair is silky and frizz-free, even while it's in recovery mode. If you're not yet ready to give up the hot tools, you can also use some of this to protect your hair from heat up to 450 degrees.
