The leave in conditioner for curly hair has a different consistency than the conditioner with rinsing. It is more liquid and because it is intended not to be rinsed, it contains ingredients that do not load the hair. The conditioner without rinsing has a thicker consistency, because it contains elements that, even after rinsing, are destined to remain on the hair. Thus, using a conditioner with rinsing as leave in can cause the hair to load.
Is there a difference between a leave in conditioner for curly hair and moisture milk for curly hair?
