Curly girl leave in conditioner

Body Shop have discontinued their Macadamia one. I know I'm a traitor to the CG method but I liked to use it as it was heat proof, too and I straightened mine a day or so after letting it curl naturally with this stuff in it.
What can I use instead: CG-friendly, leave in conditioner and protects against straightening/ drying.

I've just started using the Naked one from boots. It smells lovely and feel great in my hair. I think it's called miracle something.

This is amazing for curly hair and doesn't weigh it down. www.amazon.co.uk/Giovanni-Direct-Leave-In-Conditioner-Technology/dp/B00066D4M4

Yes the Naked one is fab. Smells lovely too.

Will do. Recently converted back to my curly ways (natural), having been a traitor to my curls for over a year. I've joined a gym and want to take the children swimming. Neither of those are conducive to having straight hair!
Still pondering the swimming hat thing and whether to bitter with one. My experience of them is that they trap chlorinated water inside them.

I've been using the bodyshop rainforest hair butter as a leave in on DDs curls the last few washes. It seems to work well. I smooth a small amount through after co washing.

I use that as a conditioner. Lovely, isn't it!

I had been rinsing it out but saw someone on here mention leaving it in and it works well on her hair, not too greasy or anything.

Left it in today. Was fine. Enjoying the freedom of being natural again and ... not giving a shit.

I just started using a shea butter leave in conditioner and it works really well.

Where's that from, Zara?
I used the Naked one today and it's fab.! Thanks for having recommended that!
