My heat protectant has dimethicone, which you mentioned, but none of the other things on the list. I did end up with very damaged curls before I cut it really short, but I was straightening almost every day, at like 425 degrees. I want to start straightening again, but not as often, so I’m glad I found this video.

[@marleyhill34]

Absolutely do not straighten your hair every day and you had the temperature too high. I have ultra-fine hair I only blowdry and straighten it every 6 weeks on a low setting like 300- 380 F/180-200 C. And I only do one pass with the iron. You might be better off blow drying it straight first only twice a week. no more. My Aveda stylist would be screaming.

[@Kindlyone777]

Water is terrible because it will make your hair sizzle. Not good. I stay away from anything with water. Most of my heat protectants have “cones”. I don’t mind it because they coat my hair and protect it from heat damage. When I wash my hair I make sure it suds really well and then deep condition it. My scalp is healthy and my is in pretty good shape. 😊

[@parismartinez3706]

Aren't silicones actually quite bad for your hair? They coat the hair and build up over time - this makes the hair not only heavier (bad for thin/fine hair), but more importantly it makes it difficult to dye your hair. This is particularly relevant for anyone who is interested in bleaching: highlights, belayage, ombre etc.

[@user-kf9xs2gy4x]

Why is nobody talking about this in the comments, we all know silicone, sulfate, etc are bad for hair.

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

This channel is quite a science based channel, as she's a trichologist, so many of the sayings that are spread around the general public that make no sense/ are not one size fits all, have already been addressed. She's already got a video on silicones, all the types, all the hidden ones and what to look out for, and how easy it is to remove them Dimethicone, the evil villain and worst of all culprits to the public, does not build up past 5 layers (IF you don't shampoo your hair). Silicones are just like synthetic oils, so everything, even natural oils cause build up. And build up can be shampooed out. Except the general public now also fears efficient shampoos. A good stylist will give your hair a thorough cleanse to remove build up before applying treatments, colour, bleach or straightening (some people have only been using "natural" oils and butters and had to get their hair washed like 4-5 times) Edited to correct spelling

Kerastase “Ciment Thermique” & “Defense Thermique” stack up pretty well with the ingredient lists. Best of sephora from what i saw. Briogeo also has a heat protector with a good amount of those ingredients, but reviews say it can be drying for certain hair types.

[@femalevoice_]

I recommend them. Ciment is too thin as a formula for my thick curly naturally hair that I strengthen so I prefer nectar thermique when it comes to feeling but they both seem to work because my hair looks much better now (I bought both because they were dirty cheap)! I only blow dry it once a week though and no other heat tools but still for 4 months and a half without having it cut they only had to remove like 2cm of hair. not a fan of the brand but the thermique ones are amazing!

[@cfoster6804]

Cement thermique is the bomb! It really feels like it resurfaces the surface of my hair strands.

[@SunshineHappiness161]

Great video and love the way you explain things! But the recommendation for Chi infra treatment confuses me. This is not a serum but a conditioner. The instructions are as followed: After shampooing the hair, apply a generous amount of CHI Infra Treatment and work into the hair evenly. Leave on hair for 2 to 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. So after you washed out this conditioner your hair is protected against blow drying, so no need to use any other heat protectants?

[@Oonagh72]

Centrimonium chloride is my favorite ingredient. When ThermaSilk still existed it was my favorite heat protectant.

[@littlered6340]

Bruh so I make hair products for myself and I love cetrimonium chloride (OK I hated it for a good minute but it was my own fault 😂) so when I decided to try and make mousse recently, I was VERY EXCITED to use it.

[@imawakemymindisalive13]

yes silicones work great for me too, i use them because my hair is really fine so i need to protect. from breakage because it is fine and weak :

[@PreppyFay12]

So I currently have the Kenra Platinum Blow Dry Spray and was not going to repurchase it anyways because when my stylist used it at the salon we found that it left my blow outs feeling dryer than the Fantasia Hair Polisher Heat Protector Straightening Serum you mentioned, but I was not in love with the ingredients of the Fantasia Serum. This only confirms though that the Kenra Platinum , which is super expensive by the way, is not formulated with the ingredients you mentioned from the studies except polymers and some silicones. I was thinking of trying the Pantene Gold Series Heat Protection Spray next or the Tresseme Keratin Smooth ( although I am scared to put Keratin on my hair because I don't want to offset my protein balance to have protein overload.) I do however have a leave-in I think will cover me for blow-drying when I run out of Kenra, which is soon, and want to use it up before buying and trying the Pantene or Tresseme sprays. It is called Redken Extreme anti-snap anti-breakage leave-in treatment. I checked the ingredients and it has a blend of proteins, polyquats, silicones and ceramides. It's also relatively expensive but I have it so I will use it and if I find it to be really effective I might just catch it on a sale like I did when I got it and keep it in my stash. #useyourstash. Hair stats: Kinky, 4B/4C, fine strands, high porosity, medium density, medium length.

I always thought heat protectant was a money gimmick so I never used it until the other day I decided to use the tresemme one I purchased years ago. It made my hair so soft and smooth.

Hey Fops, loved this vid. You crack me up 😂 🙋🏽 Question: you've helped me understand how heat destroys the protein in our strands so it totally makes sense to use extra proteins to build the hair or restore the proteins that get damaged during the heat process, but as a low porosity highly protein sensitive, should I still be trying to avoid protein in a heat protectant or nah?

[@mizzmiami3242]

Good question!

[@kapparhotau181]

You still need protein but probably use it when you blowdry. Hopefully you dont blowdry every wash day. I blowdry every 6 months

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

Thanks DM 🥰! RE: the protein, even with low porosity protein sensitive hair you still need protein (albeit smaller ones and perhaps less frequently). I definitely agree with Kapparhotau181 that if nothing else - it would certainly be good to use in a heat protectant before blow drying. I personally wouldn’t say it’s expedient to avoid protein in a heat protectant. Which ones have you tried/do you currently use?

[@myrandomrants]

@@AfopeAtoyebi thanks Fops you are the hair GOAT! My absolute fav. So in answer to your question, I’ve recently changed tact with my routine. This no heat thing was doing *me* more damage than good so I’ve decided to stretch using heat, (just not too frequently) and my hair is responding soo much better. I was avoiding all protein but because I’ve decided to use heat again I recently tried The Real Protein Treatment by @GreenBeauty and it actually worked! My hair responded really well, defined my curls and left it soft! A real breakthrough for this low porosity head of hair.

[@sonja0707]

I am low porosity. I use aloe as a pre poo the i rinse it off and use a deep conditioner lile aunt jackie deep condition with heat. We need heat to penetrate the hair. It leaves my hair soft. Or if tou want to go expensobe i use.kerastase green products. Strengthens my hair very powerful. Use all the steps and go for 3 and 4 for afro hair. Sulfur free which is the pink bottles 3 to 4 is so moisturizing. Got to balance strengthening once a month and moisturizing once a wee kor if you prefer every 2 weeks or more. Everyone is different. Kerastase therapiste can be use on afro hair if you know what type of porosity you have .and i use silicon mix too. I always use heat protection with the product the empress mentioned.

@@ozh3490 as a Heat protector very good. I mean, my hair doesnt smells like Burning after iron It. Sorry for my english

the Cantu shea butter leave-in conditioning repair cream i think should be a good heat protectant for the hair it has the following ingredients: glycerin dimethicone dimethicone peg-8 hydrolyzed wheat protein hydrolyzed collagen propylene glycol hydrolyzed wheat protein pg-propyl silanetriol silkamino acids and other fancy ingredients like; kiwi oil aloe vera nettle extract sage oil orange peel oil shea butter canola oil fruit oil sage oil rosemary leaf extract kiwi fruit water hope this helps

180 Pro Miracle Repair Damage Eliminator has almost all of the ingredients you mentioned! Used to be my go-to prep for heat styling. I quit using it because I thought the humectants were responsible for my hair frizzing/reverting easily after flat ironing and now I use products with no glycerin or propylene glycol. Do you know if the humectants (high on the ingredient list) would cause frizz after heat styling vs. a product with no humectants/lower concentration in the formulation?

Wow I love science and I like doing hair but I never wanted to become a cosmetologist and this video just showed me that their is a whole field for this kind of stuff! I had to pull out a notebook and take notes 😅 Also very shocked to find out that the three heat protectants I use contain NONE of these ingredients...

[@ramenheadx3]

My stylist uses Silicone Mix Leave-In. At home I use Aveda Damage Control Spray. I've been blowing my hair out monthly and haven't experienced damage.

Hi, I went and picked up the Chi infra Treatment but I read the back and your supposed to wash it out. Its not a leave in heat protectent, its a conditioner. Did you mean to put the Chi Silk infusion serum on here instead? The Chi Silk infusion Serum has a completely different ingredients list though.

[@Uma-or8wc]

I was Looking for this comment . I am confused too it says wash off like a conditioner. Did you figure out which product to use instead ?

[@mariaignacialeonor]

Any comments on this ?

[@jaidinbradshaw21]

@@Uma-or8wc I tried the silk serum I didn’t like it , I returned it and starting using its a 10 leave in without keratin. Its worked decent for my hair.

Recommendations for UV Rays? For those who don’t necessarily use heat but the Sun 🌞 really makes you feel like you do if you know what I mean.. Vegas UV’s just hit so harshly to my fine hair. Would using a heat protectant be the same what do you guys do to protect natural hair from the suns uv rays to reduce breakage and damage… other than hats 👒

[@mariaignacialeonor]

Not your mother's have a UV heat protectant. I haven't tried it, but Abbey Young (hair KZbinr) recommends it.

Can I make my own "silicon mix" by adding a silicone heat protectant serum to my deep or rinse out conditioner?

[@JulissaNicolee]

Waaaait!! But which one of these do u recommend the most????? I’m boutta go to Sally’s beauty supply tomorrow!! 😂😂❤️

[@sunshinesweetlove..8066]

Loved this video. I’m going with the Tresemme since I have fine hair and it gets very oily quickly with hair products. You’re so fun to watch.

[@PINKDiva88]

What she failed to mention is that there are two different types of heat protectants. Thermal for hot tools and blow dry creams for blow-drying. They are not interchangeable. Depending on what type of styling you're getting you may need both or just one of them. Not all hair types can use the same kind of heat protectant. Corser hair texters need both a cream-based heat protectant (for blow drying) and a liquid one for flat ironing. Serum's aka oils don't make good heat protectants, they fry your hair. I don't care what your stylist says. That silk press may be laid but you'll eventually end up with heat damage.

[@schoolwerk3744]

Can you recommend a good cream based heat protectant for blow drying?

[@JanetJenkins]

Preach!!

[@consciouscrypto3090]

Briogeo Farewell Frizz features Polyquaternium-37, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and Glycerin as well as several high smoke point oils like coconut and argan. Works great, but it's about $6 per ounce, so looking for something that works as well that costs a lot less!

What about the fructis heat protectant spray

[@anaellechasseloup6054]

The Macadamia Thermal Protectant Spray have all the ingredients 😁

[@deshawnalang1736]

Thank you. I’m going to try this.

[@xchellinhax]

I love the ingredients list! But do you know if it is bad for your hair to use oils before heat? I noticed that there were alot of oils in the ingredient list
