thermal protection? What do you use?

[Lyssah]

Hi Everyone!

Out of interest - what you you use? Is your hair thick or thin?





I recently started to blow dry & flat iron my hair about 5-6 times a week.
I've used a few thermal protectors but they're either a little too heavy or I felt they weren't doing my hair any good.

I have fine hair and I am currently using Tresemme heat tamer protective spray - I feel it's a little sticky... and I'm not 100% confident it's doing a good job.

I have medium to thick hair and use Chi 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protectant Spray. It smells good, too... but not in a girly, fruity smell that I normally like, but more of a hot guy cologne.. if that makes any sense. It's kinda weird actually, but good. Either way, it works for protecting my hair. (FYI, I straight iron only 1x or 2x a week, if that.)

my top picks are S Factor Flat-Iron Defense or Matrix Sleek Look Flat-Iron Spray

I use a Joico heat protector (I can't think of the exact name, but it comes in a pink bottle) when it's wet for blow-drying, then I use Chi 44 Iron Guard for straightening. I've got a lot of fine, naturally curly hair.

I've been using this combination for at least 4 months with no complaints and my hair doesn't look like it's taking too much of a beating.

i use ION straightening iron spray. ITS FAB! a girlfriend of mine pt me on to it. it cost me about 7 bucks from sally's beauty supply. i dont know where else its sold. im almost positive that ulta sells it to if you'r near one of those. it has a nice smell...its hard to describe. its delicious but not in a candy sort of way. its neither light nor heavy...its just right.

I have been using the tresseme too for almost 2 years I really think that it does protect your hair. As of right now I thought of trying something different and I bought the Got2Be and its good so far.

The new Kerastase Nectar Thermique or Cibu Sashini Thermal Shine Solution.
The Nectar Thermique is my HG.

I use something by KMS. I forget what it's called but it's in an orange and white bottle. I wear my naturally curly hair straight usually 6 days a week and only need to straighten it twice in a week and I never blow dry it.

Has anyone tried FHI Hot Sauce?

 

[CherryAcid]

My hairstylist told me when it comes to heat protection, always use a cream as it makes the hair less wet. I have used sprays and there was one in a white bottle hat smelt amazing which i loved but cant remember what it was called

I'm currently using a Charles Worthington straightening balm with thermal defence and it seems to do its job. It makes my hair really soft and shiny too.

I use the Tresemme thermal protector as well. Sometimes I use Special Effects straightening balm. Not a thermal protector but it helps to straighten so I'm using my iron less.

nexxus thermal protection, i think that's what it's called?

Honestly I like most of the nexus stuff, it works for my hair.. i just spray my hair when its just towel dried and blow dry it then straighten .. stays straight for like 2-3 days wihtout having to do anything in morning... and I HAVE LIKE SUPER CURLY HAIR. no lie!
