I will always use this product before styling.
After applying glazing gel, I spray this on my hair. It helps activate curl and if I style with an iron, it protects from the heat.

Phenomenal!!!!
I've struggled with course. curly, frizzy hair and when I get a blowout, no hair spray would hold my style without building up and looking stiff and unnatural. This product is a GAME CHANGER!! Please never discontinue this it is the best hairspray on the market and I've tried ALL brands (drug store and salon). Amazing product!

It's alright
Works fine but smells weird. Seems to have a bit of a stickiness too it which can be good if you're looking for some extra hold. I feel there's better, cheaper protectant out there.

terrible product
I like the packaging and the value of the product… but this heat protectant is not good!! it feels so sticky and leaves my hair feeling even dryer than before. It’s very heavy on the hair as well. I would definitely not recommend this for coarse, thick hair

Avoid this heat protector
It leaves my hair feeling stiff after it dries. My hair starts getting tangled after using this, even though I brush my hair before spraying it on. I've never even died my hair, so I don't understand why this happens.

I would NOTT buy this again
I used it multiple different ways, on wet hair, damp hair, dry hair but it all had one thing in common - it made my hair feel dry, weighed down and sticky. I tried not using much, then tried using in between of "not much" and "too much", even used a lot but it's all the same. I have 1B, bleached hair so maybe that's why?? Idk, I was excited to use this product since I seen its good reviews but now it's the last thing I reach for. I prefer my drugstore heat protection over this one, I used it today to try and give it another chance but washed my hair after due how sticky it is, I also wasn't really expecting to the smell to be like that haha, it's more musky? I would have to brush my roots because it would really clump there and make my hair look greasy and dirty.

Works Great
While the product can be sticky as reported, use in small even sprays. It will not only protect, but the formula provides styke holding too. It does smell clean and it works! Spray evenly over dry or damp hair if you can't see the directions. Take a picture by cell phone and zoom in on the directions. It's pricey, but not much product is needed to get results!

Magic
This is magic in a bottle. I used this before blow drying and pressing my hair, and my hair didn’t even produce that smoke. I used a flat iron on over 400 degrees and not even a little steam came off my hair. I got this after seeing a tiktok and this was the best decision ever

Residue on hair
Very sticky and leaves a nasty residue on the hair. The smell is pretty good but the sticky hair, not so much. Will not buy again

Terrible
Feels like a hairspray rather than heat protectant. Left my hair hard, dry and tangled. 0 stars.

Less is more :)
It’s great but use sparingly, a little bit of a thicker formula and I accidentally sprayed too much and it left a tacky feeling on my hair the first time. So with this product, less is more!

Don't buy!
Absolutely awful. Leaves a residue on my hair and also makes it tangled and difficult to brush. I've tried it 3 times with different leave in conditioners to mitigate and it's still terrible. Threw it away and would never repurchase
