1. Best leave-in conditioner for thin/fine hair: TRESemmé Oleo Radiance Bi-Phase Conditioning Mist (£6.99*)

Although this isn’t a traditional leave-in conditioner, this mist is great for fine or thin hair, thanks to its lightweight formula with a nourishing blend of argan and almond oils. You can use the TRESemmé Conditioning Mist to condition your hair, add a healthy-looking shine to your mane and detangle your locks post-wash. Just remember to shake the bottle well to mix the product before spraying it evenly on your dry or damp hair – it’ll instantly give your fine tresses a beautiful boost!

2. Best leave-in conditioner for dry hair: VO5 Nourish My Shine Miracle Mist (£4.28*)

Looking for a conditioning spray that will help refresh your dry hair? This aptly named ‘miracle mist‘ will leave your mane smooth, soft and with a healthy-looking shine, thanks to its lightweight formula which has a blend of 5 essential oils and extract of satin silk. Simply apply the product to damp hair (or dry hair if your locks are in need of a little hydration boost) and style!

3. Best leave-in conditioner for curly/afro hair: TIGI S-Factor Papaya Leave-In Moisture Spray (£16.45*)

Naturally curly and afro tresses absolutely love moisture, so you should look for a leave-in conditioner that can offer intense hydration.

If you have dyed or chemically straightened hair, this TRESemmé Platinum Strength leave-in treatment can help to strengthen your locks and repair up to 2 years of damage in just 5 uses**.  Not to mention, its formula’s Renewing Complex™ will reinforce your hair’s natural protective layer to guard against future damage. For the best results, just apply a few pumps to damp hair, and then style as normal. Easy, right?
