Although a bit of a splurge for a drugstore buy, this leave-in has rightfully earned the title of “cult classic.”
I first learned about this product from a coworker who sheepishly admitted it was the only thing that worked on her daughter’s tangled ringlets. I decidedly do not have curly hair (back in the ʼ80s, I tried a home perm kit and nothing happened), but the great thing about this product is it works on so many different hair types.
I keep some in my travel bag because it doubles as a conditioner and thermal protector. It also treats dry/damaged hair, prevents split ends, adds shine, protects color-treated hair … the list goes on and on. All this from a few pumps.
I’ve stuck with the original formula, but It’s a 10 has come out with a number of other formulas for different hair needs.
It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner is available at Target for $27.49.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Just took a pregnancy test and a very faint second line showed up. I was wrong and I’m two days away from when my next cycle is supposed to start. I’m like… really hoping this is a false positive? Or that my period will start on Saturday anyway? We have two kids we adore and we’re totally financially stable but our house is small and we’re exhausted all the time, ugh. I should be excited but I’m not.
I’m very sorry for sounding so sad about this, especially those who wish to be in this position. But I haven’t told my husband yet and just needed to take 30 minutes to cry it out.
I love this spray, its been a. lifesaver in a lot of ways. My hair is also very fine and this doesn’t weigh it down too much.
Having a hard time as FTM with a 10-mo-old. I am slammed at work and the only time DH and I have to talk (big or little things) is (1) before work, which isn’t a good time because I have been up for two hours by the time he gets up and I am trying to get out the door, or (2) right before we fall asleep when I am literally wanting to go to sleep and that is when DH tells me he is worried our neighbor will start their construction project next week (affects our access to driveway, etc) and I am trying to decompress. After dinner and bedtime with DD, I have to work. I also noticed that I am not raising issues with him because he is so defensive. DD is in daycare, but it seems like we need more help (if DH is at max capacity but I’m not sure if that’s true or if I’m just afraid to ask). But where/when? Not sure if this is just venting, but am also open to commiseration or advice. TIA
I saw this recommended for kids that get rat nests. My kids don’t have curly hair, but it is long and thick. We just do conditioner, then brush/comb when wet, and for 2/3 they get their hair braided at night. My youngest just gets it all rebrushed in the AM.
Eeps, accidentally posted on the ordinary page.
Cute kid stories? Picked up T from nursery yesterday and he informed me “I had a very productive day – I collected moon rocks!” Yep, dude, I know…I can see your trousers falling down b/c your pockets are so full of stones. Then he realised there were chocolate buttons in the trail mix I brought him for a car snack “Ooh, mummy, you even managed to sneak in some chocolate for me!”
I used this product all the time in high school/college, but I have to say I just got one on a whim recently at Nordstrom Rack and it doesn’t hold up. Maybe in a world where I washed, dried, and straightened my hair every day it was good, but now it feels heavy and sticky and doesn’t do much for my thick, wavy hair.
