It can also help to define curls and reduce frizz, leaving your hair looking and feeling healthier.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Homemade_Leave-In_Conditioner_for_Curly_Hair\"><\/span>The Best Homemade Leave-In Conditioner for Curly Hair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many different recipes for homemade leave-in conditioners, but this one is our favorite for curly hair.
