You know how your nails have cuticles? Well, so does your hair – and they need as much TLC as those on your nails to keep your hair healthy and glossy. The cuticle is the protective layer around the outside, and when it gets damaged, it leaves your hair vulnerable to more problems. Leave-in treatments can really help restore your cuticles to optimal condition; but how do you know which one is right for you? That’s where we come in...
