What’s the best leave-in conditioner for a sensitive scalp?

[Gingervieve23]

I have a very sensitive scalp and I’m also sensitive to strong smells. I have tried things in the past that I loved about the smell has given me a headache. Does anybody have a recommendation for a good leave in conditioner for someone with damaged hair that also has a sensitive scalp and is sensitive to smells? Thank you!

Hi there, stylist here. I would try Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kind Aloe + Oat Milk Ultra Soothing Fragrance-Free Detangler 5.9 oz/ 174 mL

I use the olaplex products. My hair is damaged at the ends, I’m growing it out and have left over highlights. I can’t handle strong fragrances as I have migraines too…so I feel your pain. I don’t put anything in my roots/scalp, just mid length and on down.

Hi, in this message you do not say what type of hair you have, meaning if it is straight or curly, oily or dry, thin or thick, so I gave you a few options to choose from.

If you have any type/curl pattern of curly hair (would not recommend this on wavy hair, mostly curly hair) I would recommend the PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Leave-In Conditioner for Curls & Coils . Personally I love this, I use it on my hair when I want to wear it curly and it works great. I am going though the transitioning process of transitioning back to my natural curls so my hair is quite damaged and this helps to restore moisture. This product work on any thickness. I have very thin hair and love to use this when I am styling my hair curly. The sent is not to strong and nose are any of the ingredients so it would be great if you have a a sensitive scalp and you don’t want anything too strong.

You mentioned that you have damaged hair so I would recommend using any product from the Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair line to help build back up hydration and moisture to help repair you hair and keep it healthy. Here are some products that I would recommend from this haircare line that work on any type of hair.

Briogeo Don't Despair Repair Rice Water Protein + Moisture Strengthening Treatment 5 oz/ 148 mL  

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Hair Mask 32 oz/ 946 mL  

Here is a leave in conditioner that has a lovely sent and works on all hair types.

JVN Complete Leave-In Conditioning Mist 5 oz / 147 mL  

The whole complete line from JVN is lovely and works on all hair types and most hair concerns.

I hope this helps you out and answers your questions.
