Pros: ingredients, cone-free, vegan, paraben free
Cons: price, packaging,

I rate this a 7 for "con" reasons above and also because this left my hair crunchy and stringy (maybe I applied to much?).
It is very light. I applied this both wet and dry and my hair did not like it either way. Very lightly scented. I swapped this away on MUA.

I do not like the triangle bottles, although many people do. I have to keep them upside-down in the shower to get the product out and as we all know, gravity isn't keen on that.

Pros: light, leaves hair very soft and manageable
Cons: packaging

I tried this leave-in when I joined LHC last September (someone on here mentioned it). Impressed with everything except the packaging. Very light, leaves hair manageable without weighing it down. Even with the occasional blow frying, my hair still feels soft and lovely. Unless someone recommends something unbelievably spectacular to take its place, I doubt I will use a different leave-in again.

Pros: slip, moisturizing, lasts a long time, doesn't have strong smell, no-cones
Cons: packaging, price, easy to overdo it, doesn't work on dry hair

This is the best leave-in I've tried, but I'd love it so much more if it came in a better package.
I didn't like it at first, but that's because I was using way too much of it. This leave-in works a lot better in smaller amounts, in larger amounts it can make hair crunchy and dry feeling. Also doesn't work on dry hair, which is another disadvantage. It works great on soaking wet hair, though.

Pros: all natural,cone free leave in,available more widely than other organic haircare products
Cons: price

I'm cheap so if I have to pay more than 3 bucks on hair care products,it better be good.I bought this just yesterday and even though the directions recommend putting it on wet hair,I applied it to my DD1 hair.I woke up with my hair being straighter and fuller,without needing a blowdryer to pull it off.

Pros: just all-around the best leave-in I've found
Cons: goofy inefficient bottle

I've been using this for over a year and am still using that 1st bottle....I use it often, but a little of this goes a long way. A pea-sized amount works best. Makes my curls boingy and well-moisturized. For me it seems to function almost like a styling product, a curl cream, I guess.
