Your skin is not the only thing that needs protection from the sun's wrath. Unless you plan on wearing a hat all summer long, you must equip your tresses with the moisture and vitamins that it needs to maintain it's strength and shine.
Rather than purchasing a bottle of leave-in conditioner, loaded with ingredients that I can't even pronounce, I decided to test out a few DIY leave-in conditioners and this is by far the easiest to make and yields the most benefits.
Don't worry, this leave-in conditioner is perfect for all hair types and lengths to give your hair added moisture.
