With the fierce winds and falling snow promising an entire season of bad hair days ahead, it’s easy to let your luxurious locks turn brittle as we settle into wintry weather. If you want to maintain your silky strands despite the dropping temperatures, these leave-in conditioners just may help you revitalize your tresses.

As well, hydrating proteins in the formula are said to moisturize dry strands.
3) Drybar Mr. Incredible- The Ultimate Leave-In Conditioner, $33: This new product by Drybar is formulated with acai, a tiny antioxidant-rich South American berry which is said to moisturize the hair.
