The two leave-ins I have loved for years are It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In and Pureology Color Fanatic — both genuinely amazing, but at $30 and $36 a bottle, they add up fast, especially when you go through them as quickly as I do.

It’s great for a big event, but for everyday shine, the price tag feels hard to justify. I liked it, don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t feel like I needed it, ya know?
