What do you think of the new Thermasilk shampoos,etc. by Helene Curtis that protect hair from heatstyling? Would anyone who has tried it let me know whether it is good for the hair or not? Karen especially, if you know anything about it! Thanks!!!!

Hi Laura,There is a little blurb about the new Thermasilk in Hair News. I have been watching it closely and have a personal opinion about it.First of all....Helene Curtis has figured out that the majority of women in America use a hot blow dryer on their hair. A lot of those same women are starting to use heat protecting aides that have become more accepted. Aveda's Elixer is my personal favorite...but there are other great products out there...including the ones from Phyto, Redken and KMS.Curtis decided to try and fill a gap with their new product. They saw a market potential and decided to jump in and grab some of it for their products. The current market competitors include Pantene Pro-Vitamin Heat Activated conditioner, Paul Mitchell the Heat styling spray and Vidal Sassoon Heat Defense styling spray and conditioning rinses.I am not sure whether the new heat activated conditioners are as good for the hair as the leave-in conditioning products designed to protect the hair AGAINST heat.The new heat styling product are supposed to work WITH the heat to add conditioning nutrients. OK...I will admit it...I am extremely suspicious that these products will not really do much.Do they actually protect the hair shaft from heat damage? I am wondering...since apparently the product requires heat to work. I am from the hair school of using heat as little as possible.Will I try it? Not likely. I am so protective of my hair....I won't do anything that I am not sure about.I have been talking to some stylists about it and they seem mixed about the benefits of using a heat activated product.I guess at this point...if you want to try it....do so carefully and let your hair be the judge.Since I am not a big fan of even a blow dryer except when absolutely necessary.....I am not sure I would ever recommend these products.What do the rest of you think?KarenRelated Link:Hair Boutique Hair News

No, I am not the physician who keeps looking for a mate. I am married and my wife has tried the Thermasilk shampoo and conditioner. She uses a blow dryer after every washing and was anxious to find a product that would protect her hair against heat. After a couple of uses of these products, she continues to be undecided about its performance. Personally, I cannot see much of a difference. Her hair is still shiny, silky, and looks great. I purchased a can of the non-arosol Thermasilk "hairspray" and tried it on her hair. It smelled wonderful, so I give the spray my seal of approval. Tonight I will try fixing the wifes hair into a bun that Karen so kindly assisted me with styling directions. Then we will find out the holding ability of the Thermasilk hairspray. By the way, Laura, how long is your hair? Hope my information has helped you.> What do you think of the new Thermasilk shampoos,etc.> by Helene Curtis that protect hair from heatstyling?> Would anyone who has tried it let me know whether> it is good for the hair or not?

Thanks for the advice. I did buy the shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in spray conditioner to try. It smells great and did leave my hair a little softer and smoother after blowdrying, which is a must for me after I wash my hair every other morning (though this summer I will try to blowdry much less). My hair is blond and about 3 inches above my waist (which is pretty long since I'm 5'10") Anyway, thanks to you and Karen!> No, I am not the physician who keeps looking> for a mate.
