For a long time I have used a leave-in conditioner, and then a styling cream, before either heat styling or air-drying. But it occurred to me that they look and feel almost the same in my hand, maybe the styling cream is redundant. Do they each have different benefits? My conditioner is Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Leave-In conditioner. My styling cream is either Sebastian Potion 9, Beyond the Zone Gettin' Creamed, or Kinky-Curly Curling Custard (say THAT five times fast!).
