Leave-in sprays and treatments are the perfect cherry on top of anyone’s hair routine. Not only can they keep hair moisturized and hydrated, but they also can help detangle, protect, and add extra strength to previously damaged hair. As people who work in the hair industry, we know about these benefits and use them without a second thought because of our knowledge of hair health. But how do your clients feel about taking an extra step during their hair routine? In the words of Allure Magazine, “leave-in conditioners are to your hair what moisturizers are to your face.” Clients must realize that these products are essential to their hair health, especially if they're getting their hair colored, lightened, have curly hair, or are just experiencing extra wear-and-tear from a colder climate.
