If you’ve ever worn a bun to take a dip in the ocean, you know the strife you experience trying to brush your hair out later—especially if you have long, wavy, curly or thinning strands. I’ve lost many a strand of hair wrestling with knots post-swim and learned my lesson to never brush out my hair without a detangler or leave-in conditioner. Luckily, I found a product that’s both a leave-in conditioner and a detangler to streamline my routine. Divi 3-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner ($28) is my summer hair savior.
Yes, the product is marketed for use after the shower, and I do use it for that as well, but I’m telling you the pro tip is bringing a gentle brush or comb and this leave-in-conditioner in your beach bag and using it immediately after swimming to prevent knots and tangles from getting worse. The bottle is a pretty hefty size at a really reasonable price, so I don’t worry about running through it.
This multi-tasking treatment has three benefits. We know it detangles like a dream, but it also provides lightweight hydration. Additionally, the formula protects hair at up to 450°F to help reduce breakage. This leave-in is a must-have for anyone with fine or thinning hair that tends to tangle easily. It’ll save you stress and strands.
Not to mention, the minty fresh scent is energizing and refreshing. Sometimes, I just sniff it on its own. Looking for yet another use for this conditioner? Reviewers claim it helps detangle their dog’s hair as well.
