Tresemme Heat Tamer spray This stuff goes on like a mist of water;it does not feel oily AT ALL, Smells quite lovely and leaves the hair so light and lots of body. I love it!

 

[Healthb4Length]

I have used plenty and the following stand out for me;

1. Sabino Moisture Block--this left my hair silky smooth and straight for days and it does what it says, alittle goes a looong way.

2. FHI hot sauce--Very nice! It smells nice, provides softness and shine.

3. CHI silk infusion--provides a nice shine

4. Mizani thermasmooth serum--great stuff!

I have a new favorite. Oscar Blandi Raffinata Straightening Balm. When you put it in, it is sticky. Putting it on one section and then blow drying it and then another section and blow drying it makes it easier to work with. Once you flat iron, your hair feels great. No stickiness. It's the balm. Chi has been replaced.

Fantasia IC is the best. Its a detangler and no matter how much I use, my hair never feels coated or weighed down.

That is all true but it didn't protect my hair.

How can you tell it didn't protect your hair? Just curious because I just purchased this.

Lexi84, Is there more than one Fantasia IC heat protectant, If so what color is the bottle, of the one you use, and is it a spray or serum, I'm going for that light-weight thing, nothing heavy.

I noticed that Dove has a heat protectant spray now. I wonder if it's any good. Has anyone tried it? Here's the link:

Also, what are some important ingredients to look for in a good heat protectant?

 

[Andy1979]

My vote is for FHI Hot Sauce...that stuff has been a lifesaver since I've been natural

 

[DivineNapps1728]

I use Chi Silk Infusion whenever I use heat; it's light in my hair and hard to overapply. It also leaves my hair feeling soft and moisturized never stiff or coated.

Beyond Straight Temporary Straightener Maxius!!!!! I got it with my maxigide, not only is it a heat protectant but it leaves my hair a lottta striaghter! I used it even when I'm just airdrying b/c it helps my hair hang better. (I'm relaxed, but not bone striaght, plus I'm 4 and 1/2 months post)... this stuff is amazing!!! Dillute a few drops in a water bottle and spray your hair after you're done rollersetting it and then get outta the dryer, your curls will be bouncing!

I didn't like fantasia. It made my hair feel wierd. I just use keracare silken seal.

 

[xquisitduchess]

silk elements is my favorite and it smells good..... i have fantasia IC right now and its alright its kinda heavy i cant wait till im done with it soo i can go bak to my silk elements.

I don't know about "best" because I wasn't about to experiment on my hair to see which ones worked and risk burning my hair with those that don't. But for my last press I used John Frieda Heat Defeat to wet my hair for the wet-to-dry part of my press, and then John Frieda Thermal Protection Serum for the final sealing press. My hair did so well and when it was time to shampoo, my hair reverted with a quickness and not a whiff of burned hair smell like I have had in the past. In fact, all my dread about pressing my hair is gone. Still won't do it often, but I have no hesitation of doing it.

Call me old-fashioned but John Frieda was the first company to introduce serums to me in 90's, so I kinda feel like they know how to eliminate frizz more than anyone else. I remember when my hair was relaxed, I would apply JF Frizz Ease serum to damp hair and air-dry. Then I'd run my curling iron through it to form a bob and my hair would "swang"! No stickiness and the shine was like woah!
