7 Leave-In Conditioners for Shiny, Bouncy Curls

1. FOXYBAE HAIR Flaminglow Leave In Conditioner

This honey and blackcurrant-scented leave-in conditioner feels like luxury from start to finish. Spritz it onto towel-dried hair to detangle, moisturize, tame frizz, and heal damaged strands. The formula even includes biotin which can promote hair growth.

"This is the most amazing leave-in conditioner I've used in a long time," one Ipster writes. "My hair is smooth but still light and bouncy. A little bit goes a LONG way!"

2. MARC ANTHONY 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioner

This nourishing formula pairs coconut oil with shea butter to hydrate and boost shine for all hair types—curly included. It helps to restore shine and make strands healthier and more manageable with just a quick coat—and it’s a pro at detangling curly locks. Plus, it’s free of parabens, sulfates, SLS, or phthalates.

For one Ipster, this product is a summer must-have. She writes, "I love this great leave-in conditioner. I brought it to the beach and used it on my wet hair after swimming. It smelled amazing and kept my hair very soft."

3. CURL KEEPER® Leave-In Conditioner 1oz

This hair care product works by smoothing and sealing the hair cuticle to protect it from humidity, which can make hair appear frizzy. It also doubles as a heat protectant to keep hair strong and moisturized after styling with a hair dryer or hot tool. Bonus: This all-in-one solution is also free of silicone, which is great news for curly hair types as silicone can weigh down the hair, making curls appear limp and lifeless.

"This is another surprising hair product that actually came just in time for my newly bleached hair," one Ipster writes. "I have been using this product for the last couple of months and I absolutely love it, helps keep my short little curls popping."

4. OUAI Leave-In Conditioner

This cult-fave product comes straight from celebrity hairstylist Jenn Atkin to your beauty cabinet. It’s a multi-tasking, ultra-moisturizing conditioner that hydrates, detangles, reduces frizz, and protects against heat damage all at once. Hair is left feeling soft, manageable, and smelling amazing.

"This is an awesome leave in conditioner," says Ipster ail17. "It smells fantastic and I use this exclusively instead of conditioner now. I have big, coarse hair and this keeps it from feeling like a haystack!"

5. PURE BRAZILIAN Leave-In Conditioner

This versatile option works both immediately and over time to make hair shinier and healthier thanks to keratin proteins and a fortifying ingredient complex. Reparative keratin helps restore life and strength to dry, damaged hair while a combo of Bulgarian rose water, silk, quartz, and crushed pink sea pearls give hair a noticeable boost of luster and shine. Plus, it doubles as a heat protectant to keep your curls healthy and damage-free.

"The scent is like being on an island," writes one Ipster. "It adds moisture without being heavy!"

6. VERB Curl Leave-In Conditioner

Bouncy, carefree curls coming right up. This vegan leave-in conditioner uses sunflower seed extract—an ingredient high in hydrating fatty acids and nourishing vitamin E—to provide weightless moisture while also detangling and preventing breakage. Just a small dollop leaves hair feeling soft, moisturized, and frizz-free. This curly hair-approved product also provides natural UV protection to guard against sun damage and color fading.

7. PLAYA Monoi Milk Leave-in Conditioner

If your curls are dry, damaged, and in need of repair, give this 3-in-1 product a go. This conditioner primes, detangles, and protects using Tahitian monoi oil and coconut milk which penetrate deep into the hair shaft to tame frizz, heal damage, and richly condition damaged locks.
