The first time I used this mask I did it as the directions suggested, putting it on after washing then rinsing it out, but I found this left some greasy residue that I had to wash my hair again to get out. Next time I left it on overnight, then shampooed in the morning which worked great for my hair type (about 2c/3a, thick hair). I use this about every other wash day, it’s moisturising and has a nice and fresh, but not overpowering, smell, and a rich, buttery consistency. I haven’t tried it as a leave in because it would probably be too heavy for me, but I can imagine that would work nicely if your hair is a bit coarser or curlier than mine. Show less
