I bought the Redken smooth down heat glide heat protectant becuz i needed one since i do use heat 3 to 4 times a week,, anyhoo, i used it yest in combination with my precious Pantene wrap and set lotion which actually is supposed to protect hair from heat, b4 i blow dried my hair,,well i may have used too much becuz i found it to be gunky and waxy and made my hair stick together,, so bad in one spot that it actually tangled and i had to pull it apart,, but i think it is probably a good product if ur not heavy handed with it,, im used to using large amounts of serums but that wont work with this,, anyway just wanted to review it if anyone was thinkin of trying it ,,,(it also hads a very pleasant smell) ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED |

I'm glad you did a review on this. I'm heavy handed also...even when I think I've applied too much product, I apply more . So did it make your hair dry or did it come out silky and smooth? You may have to experiment with heat protectants. I have a hard time with them....they tend to make my hair dry.------------- |

Well,, no it didnt seem to make my hair dry,, but i do feel as though i should've looked into heat protectants even a little more b4 i blew 15 bucks becuz i really dont like anything waxy on my hair,, I didnt know that heat protectants could cause dryness!! anyhoo i checked my bottle of pantene wrap and set lotion and its supposed to protect during heat styling so i think for now ill just continue using this,, cuz it doesnt weigh my hair down unless i really use alot!!,, I actually do that same thing of just adding more and more product to my hair becuz im scared it wont have enough in it LOL!! but u wouldnt wanna do that with the redken stuff becuz ur hair would be sticking 2gether big time!! at least mine did,, anyway i dont think ill be using this stuff anymo lol......... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!

Okay, thanks. I don't think I'll try that one either. I really need to look into a good heat protectant that is also affordable. My friend was telling me about a serum (not sure if it was heat protectant) by Biolage and it was 13 dollars! She said it was really good and I was tempted but I ended up getting my Paul Mitchell Heat Seal which wasn't much cheaper...$10. ------------- |
