Pantene$12.84- “Key benefits include repairing damage, moisturizing, providing 450 degrees of heat protection, detangling, strengthening, protecting color, providing UV protection, softening, smoothing frizz, and improving shine”▶ 0:52
- “This has an amazing summery tropical fragrance that to me like has notes of coconut and sunshine”▶ 1:55
- “This is an ultra fine mist, so it really does leave my hair feeling weightless while still providing softness and detangling to the level that I need”▶ 2:12
- “I feel like it ends up having the lightest feel in my hair”▶ 2:31
- “Oh, this is an amazing option for those that have fine/thin hair and are prone to their hair feeling weighed down”
- “If you are someone with fine/thin hair or somebody that just really hates the feeling of heavy leave-ins that make it feel like you have a lot of product in your hair, this is going to be your best friend”▶ 3:17

Tresemmé$8.99- “The claimed benefits include 450° of heat protection, softening, smoothing frizz, adding shine, and style hold”▶ 5:11
- “This one has a little bit more of a clean laundry-like scent to me, but not in a powdery way at all”
- “It absolutely can be used as a leave-in conditioner”▶ 4:27
- “It's just going to provide a lighter level of conditioning and smoothing”▶ 4:31
- “It's another that I think is a great option for those of you that have hair that is easily weighed down or just don't like the feel of heavy leave-ins”▶ 4:44
- “This is just the definition of an oldie but a goodie. It's a drugstore classic”▶ 4:50
- “The benefits include 450° of heat protection, softening, smoothing frizz, adding shine, style hold, and detangling”
- “It's still fresh, but it definitely smells fruitier to me. Like almost a little appley, but it's also really nice”▶ 5:29
- “I would say it's just a little bit thicker and a little bit more conditioning while still being one of the lightest options in this video”
- “If those were not quite conditioning enough, you want something that's really similar but a little bit more, this might be the one for you to try”▶ 5:55
OGX$10.47- “Benefits include 450° of heat protection, repairing damage, conditioning, and strengthening”
- “This one has a very floral fragrance. I would say it's the most predominantly floral out of all of these in this video”▶ 6:33
- “I am obsessed with this mister. It's hands down the best in this video and the best I have ever tried at any price point, period, in terms of fine, even continuous product distribution”▶ 6:48
- “I do think that this is a bit of a heavier option than Pantene or Tresemmme Heat Tamer, but it's still lighter than a lot of the other options in this video if you don't apply too much”▶ 8:02
- “I would say that you're probably most likely to love this if you have normal to thick/coarse hair or if you want extra conditioning with fine/thin hair and you can find an application technique that works for you”▶ 8:10
- “For me personally, I feel like this is the perfect in between where it delivers just the right amount of conditioning, softening, smoothing, detangling without it being too little or too much”
Not Your Mother's$11.99- “Benefits include 450° of heat protection, repairing, strengthening, intensely conditioning, detangling, taming frizz, and enhancing shine”
- “This is also a floral fragrance, but it's softer than the OGX option”▶ 9:04
- “I feel like this is one of the most subtle fragrance options if you're someone that's really sensitive to strong fragrances”▶ 9:11
- “I also think it's the lightest of the thicker options that we have left”▶ 9:33
- “my hair definitely feels lighter and fluffier with this than the last four options”▶ 9:42
- “this is one of those that I think would end up working for a lot of different hair types because while it is more viscous, it still is not heavy”▶ 9:45
Redken$31.00- “Provides lightweight conditioning, softens, strengthens, detangles, primes for styling, protects from heat damage up to 450°, adds silky smoothness and shine, frizz control, anti-static, the list goes on”▶ 10:10
- “This smells so freaking good. Like this is another one to me that just smells like you just left the salon”▶ 10:38
- “Out of the three, Redken has always felt the lightest in my hair, but it definitely delivers more conditioning and smoothing than everything else we've talked about so far”▶ 11:20
- “My hair's just silkier and sleeker with this. It really is just an incredible all-in-one that makes my hair feel so soft and nice every single time that I use it”▶ 11:28
- “If you have tried Pureology and L'Oreal and you want something that's extremely similar but just a little bit lighter, then Redken might be exactly what you're looking for”▶ 11:36
Pureology$28.00- “Preserves color vibrancy, instantly detangles, smooths the hair fiber, prevents split ends, strengthens, protects against heat damage up to 450°, seals hair cuticle, creates silkiness”▶ 11:52
- “Rose, floral, ginger, and cedar wood are the fragrance notes, which I think makes it just like a little bit more spicy from the ginger and a little bit more woodsy than Redken”▶ 12:25
- “This is one of the thickest and creamiest, so it can definitely feel a bit too heavy for some people”▶ 12:35
- “What has always stood out to me about this is its detangling and smoothing power. It is just so so good at easing the detangling process and preventing my brush from catching in my hair and causing too much breakage”▶ 12:38
- “It makes my hair incredibly soft, sleek, and silky”▶ 12:51
- “If you want a leave-in that's going to provide enhanced conditioning, smoothing, softening, and detangling, Pureology Color Fanatic is superb”▶ 12:58
L'Oreal Paris$9.99- “Some of those include 450° of heat protection, moisturizing, priming, detangling, nourishing, controlling frizz, and adding shine”▶ 13:17
- “This one has fragrance notes of almond blossom and creamy musk. I love the way that all of these smell, and I actually think that this is my favorite scent out of all of the drugstore options”▶ 13:34
- “This is my recommendation for a drugstore alternative to both Redken and Pureology”▶ 13:47
- “I actually think that this one has a little bit more of a slippery feel in my hair than Pureology and feels a little bit heavier than Redken, but you can't deny the similarities”▶ 13:41
- “Essentially, everything that I said about how nice my hair feels with both Redken and Pureology holds true for this as well”▶ 14:02
- “If you don't want to splurge on those, but you want all of those benefits and a very similar experience, then L'Oreal Moisture 21-in-1 is for you”▶ 14:08
- “Claimed benefits include 450° of heat protection, hydrating, UV filters, detangling, reducing frizz, softening, adding shine, smoothing, nourishing, and detangling”▶ 3:56
- “This fragrance is described as being luxe yet light with a scent of fruit and tropical florals anchored with rich musk and woodsy notes. This one's so freaking good. I think I like the way that that smells better than Pureology”▶ 14:42
- “To me, this one has always felt the thickest and creamiest while still not hitting that point of being too heavy for my hair type”▶ 14:59
- “It's not as top top tier in the detangling department like Pureology and L'Oreal. It's maybe like a step below that, but it still performs really well and is intensely conditioning”▶ 15:08
- “If you're someone that normally feels like you need to add a lotion or a cream after using a leave-in spray to condition and smooth to the level that you need, this could solve that for you all in one”▶ 15:17
- “If you don't have a need for intensive detangling, but you have normal/thick hair and you do want intensive conditioning, smoothing, frizz control, then you really can't go wrong with Bumble and Bumble, I think that you'll love it”▶ 15:27
