I purchased this on a whim, as I often do when persuing the supermarket aisle. This was so affordable and I straighten my hair, and often lack shine, so it seemed like it could be a great product.
I use it on dry hair, before straightening. It's nice and light, and doesn't make my hair crunchy or stiff. I really like this, because it is not only a heat protectant but also a shine spray so it cuts down on the amount of products I have to use to get my hair looking nice. I also have fine hair, so the spray is great and stops my hair getting weighed down.
It does add a good amount of shine and I suppose it protects my hair from heat - my ends always looked neat and tidy but it is hard to tell if they're actually protected.
Love this, and wish it came in a bigger can!
I've repurchased this several times after realising my intial frustration with it was based on the fact that I thought it was a hairspray - it's not. It doesn't HOLD your style, merely tames frizz and flyways and lends a shine to your hair. The heat defense aspect never hurts either.
This spray comes in a gloriously girly pink pressurised spray bottle with a clear cap and gold and white lettering.
The spray itself dispenses as a super fine, super light mist. It can disperse quite easily because of this so don't spray it too far from your head!
It has a light, sweet scent which dissipates readily enough and doesn't clash with other scents you might be rocking. It dries without leaving residue - both the sticky and the crunchy types.
Because it's not a set and hold spray you can actually brush, restyle etc your hair with it in - I look at it as a little bit of good hair game you can spray on when you need it. Works better on dry hair, as it leaves a lovely silky finish to hair.
The one con - it's a tiny size. I know it's only $7.99 but if there were a decent sized one available it would work out more cost effective (although I'd still buy this one for my travel bag!)
