leave-in

Not washed out

Leave-in describes hair products designed to remain in the hair after application rather than being rinsed out: leave-in conditioner, leave-in treatment.

The term distinguishes these from traditional products that require washing out.

I use a leave-in to keep my curls from frizzing.
