Used to use the Pantene Pro-V heat protections spray for Medium Hair, and it worked great.

Recently switched to the Shu Uemura Thermal Iron Spray and it's great! A lot pricier $30.00, but it makes my hair shinier :).
 
I recently bought Paul Mitchell - Hot Off the Press and it got returned! It felt more like a hair spray. I let it sit too long on my hair after I sprayed it on and by the time I flat ironed it which was only maybe 3 minutes after I sprayed it, my hair was sticky and crunchy :(
 
another vote for Tresemme! ive been using it every time i wash my hair & its never been better. the last time i went to my stylist she asked have i been anywhere else to get a trim bc my ends looked great. nope, just been using a new protectant!
 
Moroccan Oli literally ruined my hair. Since I stopped perming my hair several years ago, my hair has been very healthy despite the fact that is is thin, straight, fine, and blonde. I started using Moroccan Oli and it was lovely at first. About a month later , I started seeing some of the worst damage I've had since perming. I'm not an expert, but I think that the heavy, daily use of silicones (they are the first few ingredients in Moroccan Oli) coated my hair until it broke off. It's been about 2 months since I quit using it and I'm still trying to get my hair back into shape. My damaged areas are growing out, but still noticeable in my hair :(

I had an awful experience with Moroccan Oil and have a patch of hair that literally broke off. I didn't realize that Moroccan Oil is not 100% oil but has alot of dimethicone. My hair is thin and fine and the daily use of the Moroccan Oil ruined my hair. A couple of other tpf'ers had the same problem with Moroccan Oil. I've stopped using it and have been really careful about what I use on my hair now. The broken hair patch has started to grow back but it was a mess.
 
I've been using Nexxus Heat Protexx religiously for about 2 years and recently decided to switch to Tresemme heat protector spray and I must say I am glad I did! Not only is Tresemme cheaper it leaves my hair feeling soft and smoother to the touch. :D
 
Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion. I'm so glad that Sephora started carrying it. I also blowdry and flat iron my hair everyday. You actually just wrote a review on my blog if that helps. :)
 
I've had a curling iron for years and haven't used it much. Just used for small touch-ups. Recently my hairdresser used a curling iron on my hair and I liked the results so I've been playing around with mine. She didn't use any heat protectant product on my hair that I noticed. I read somewhere that you should use heat protectant with a curling iron.
I only use on dry hair. I don't do my whole head of hair. I don't hold the iron on for long - maybe 15 seconds.
Does anyone use a curling iron regularly? With or without heat protectant product?
Recommendations? My hair is in good condition but I don't want to dry it out.
