Hi everyone. :) I've searched the forums, but I don't think this has been posted yet. I'm just wondering...what is the best heat protector to use when straightening? I used to use Fantasia Heat Protector Mist (not the serum) and it was AMAZING!!! But, I can't find it anywhere in Toronto anymore. :( So I wondering...whats the next best thing? I used a heat protector from Joico but it left my hair stiff and really greasy. Is there anything that leaves your hair as soft and naturally shiny as Fantasia's Heat Protector? Thanks in advance. :) |

I was gonna scream Fantasis spray as my sugges tion but then i read that you've used it,, its so so good!!, i have used a number of protectants and the one that comes closest to Fantasia mist is from Sally beauty called Turn up the Heat( itsa mist also), tho it doesnt work as well as Fantasia its very close,, i dont know whether u can find that in Canada though,, have u tried looking online for the Fantasia?? ------------- 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've tried looking online to order Fantasia Heat Protector, but no luck. I only find the serum and the clear one. And none of the places ship to Canada anyways. :(:(:( I've looked for Sally's and Beyond the Zone, but I can't find anything here. Is there like, a good heat protector that they would sell at Walmart or any drug store? Like, John Freida or Thermasilk? I need to do my hair pronto! lol |

aaaw girl i understand your struggle,, heat protector is very important!! I checked out one a while back from V05 ,, its in a bright red bottle( has good ingredients but its for wet hair) and theres also L'oreal hot straight,, ( the spray has alcohol in it) but the cream one doesnt though i didnt find this great at all lol,, these are available in the drugstore,, im racking my brain here,, i believe theres one by John Frieda too ,, his products have always been good to my hair,, just have a look around,, i think the main ingredient in these heat protectors is silicones cuz i've noticed they all contain silicones anyway they need to get those products over in Canada!!! 
BTW i like ur name , perfect is boring, my philosphy is normal is boring  since im a bit kooko------------- 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 just got the Tresseme heat protector and I like it but I've only used it on a small section of hair. It's not as oily as Beyond the Zone or Fantasia is for me. It gives a more fluffy feel to the hair. I might start using this one when I want to switch up for a little different look. This one can be used on wet or dry hair. ------------- |

Hey, PerfectIsBoring,
go to http://www.walgreens.com - www.walgreens.com and see if you can find it there. If so, I think you can order from their site (but I'm not exactly sure, but it's worth trying!) ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |
