Best Heat Protection Spray?

[candace117]

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!

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

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 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.

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 use the tresemme heat protectant gel. i put a lot in my hair when its wet, (its in the black and red packaging), and i let my hair air dry. then i flat iron it. it makes my hair softer, but i do think it makes the ends start to curl more faster

I use the GHD spray and that works well.

I've been using the Tresemme too and I love it! It feels really light and the smell is nice too. The only silicones it has in it are water soluble, so it does not cause build up. I tried the GHD spray but ended up returning it because it made my hair feel "crunchy." I still use the Kerastase Ciment Thermique once a week though.

I use the Ciment thermique on wet hair and spray some Alterna Cavier stying spray.

Can you tell me more about the Kerastase Ciment Thermique? Is it really nice?

 

[saccharinity]

Redken Heat Glide...its not spray though, its a serum. This is the best heat protection product I have tried. It does have a light smell but nothing overwhelming.

I also like Redken Align No. 12, this is one is a cream and has a light smell which is divine. I switch back and forth between the two.

The GHD made my hair go all crispy and sticky - I just couldn't cope with it at all. I've been very wary of all kinds of heat protectant spray since tbh, and will only use Ciment Thermique.

There seems to be some other good recommendations for the sprays here as well though, so I think I'll try one of those and see how it goes! (But I'll also still be using Ciment Thermique every time I wash my hair ).
