What's a Classic Example of an Instant Conditioner?

The answer is a detangling rinse. It's applied and rinsed out quickly, coating the hair rather than penetrating it.

Instant conditioners work on the surface of the hair, coating the cuticle with oils and moisture instead of processing deep into the shaft. Permanent wave solution and blow-dry spray serve completely different purposes, and a dandruff shampoo targets the scalp rather than conditioning the hair.
