Hello ladies!
I flat iron my hair every day [ after blow dry] and I need some spray on heat protection. What is the best one you recomend? I would like one without smell, so bees dont attack me.

Thanks!

I love Pureology's ColorMax. It's a leave-in thermal protectant to guard against UVA/UVB damage. I use this product EVERY DAY.

Well it does have a scent, not a spray & I dont know your hair type, but Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum is amazing

My stylist got me hooked on it.

Really though any silcone serum/spray will offer a little heat protection.

I use Kerastase's Ciment Thermique before I blow dry and I absolutely love it!

As far as products specifically for flat-ironing hair, I've heard great things about the GHD thermal protector but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I've been wondering - if someone uses a heat protectant before they blow dry their hair, is it necessary to use a separate heat protector before they flat iron?

I've used both the VO5 in the red bottle (the name escapes me) and Tresemme (black bottle/red pump) with good results.

I have the GHD iron and got the spray with it. That worked pretty well then after that I decided to go cheap and get the Tresemme, same as brianne. (black bottle, red spray nozzle) It smells nice - not overwhelming at all and it does the job.

Omg I have been looking for a heat protectant and tried almost every brand....is it just me or isnt the heat protectant sprays like hair spray? whenever I spray it in my hair befor ironing it makes my hair hard and sticky yechhh

.....I'm trying to find one that makes my hair shiny and soft yet protects the hair from drying out when I iron it

I got tired of the sticky sprays, so I tried Heat Glide by Redken...it's more of a silicone based serum with macadamia oil in it, that you use while your hair is damp (I do, anyway). You can also use it to finish the hair or when it's dry right before flat ironing. It works wonders!

The one I use right now (Tresseme) is not only cheap but it doesn't make my hair sticky at ALL.

I use Tigi S Factor flat iron spray and I absolutely love it. I spray it on my dry hair right before I flat iron. It isn't sticky at all and it makes the flat iron just slip right through my hair. I have baby fine hair and it doesn't weigh it down but it could give you the greasys if you used too much.

I did a search for heat protectant spray and came across this tread. I just wanted to say that I purchased and tried the Tresemme (black bottle, red spray nozzle) spray and it worked fabulously! I could not agree more with the comments. It's lightweight and light smell - not overwhemling. It also made my hair feel really silky and I felt it really did the job. Thanks frostedcouture and brianne1114 for the recommendation! Great product!

I second Heat Glide by Redken! I love this stuff!

killerstrawbery · Nov 9th, 2008, 12:22 PM

i have the CHI 40 iron protectant, used it once, it made my hair stiff

i like how my hair feels without the extra stuff in it , plus the blow out will last longer
