I used a tiny bit of conditioner on a dry cut and it changed the game

I was doing a dry cut on a client with really thick, wavy hair last week and it was just fighting me, sticking up everywhere. On a whim, I sprayed maybe two pumps of a light leave-in conditioner into my palms and smoothed it over the sections before cutting. The hair laid down perfectly and I could see the true shape forming without any static or flyaways. It gave me way more control than I ever had with just water or dry cutting alone. Has anyone else found a little product helps with precision on dry cuts, or is that a big no-no in your book?

Two pumps of leave-in" is interesting. Do you find it changes how the hair falls once it dries completely, or does it stay put?

It's actually a cream, not a spray leave-in, @grantnelson. It gives a soft hold so my waves stay put without getting crunchy.

Creams can weigh fine hair down, right? I read that somewhere.
