I Tested Hair Heat Protectants Against Extreme Heat 

It would have been cool to see you use an actual iron on the bread that you tried the flat iron spray on… because flat ironing uses direct contact, and the toaster can’t simulate that.

I went to my hair dressing yesterday and she told me my hair looks soooooo much better than the last time I saw her and all the credit goes to Chris!!!! Thank you so much

I felt as I was watching Myth Busters. Thank you. I have been following your advice for the last six months. The quality of my hair has improved immensely.

LOVING your channel!! Would love to see: 1. Some videos of you teaching the model how to do her own hair. One thing is for you to do it from behind but trying to use these techniques on yourself isn’t so easy. I’m sure practice is key but do you gave any special tips to make it easier? 2. Some short(er) hair tips, techniques and tricks for those of us with thin/fine bobs. 3. Tool recommendations for tools with dual wattage for traveling. It’s a big investment so it would be nice to have a tool that you can take with you and use all over the world. 😊

This was one of the most impressive demonstrations I've ever seen. It definitely gives me more confidence in the heat treatments you recommended that I just got. ❤

The key thing for Oil heat protectants is the smoke point (like a boiling point for water but just for oils). If it is higher than the temperature you’re using on the hair it will act as a protecting seal. If it’s lower, it will sizzle your hair. Every oil has a different smokepoint.

The thumbnail is priceless! Also, I will forever like, comment, and engage with your channel because I cannot thank you enough for recommending the olaplex no6 cream. It is the product I have been looking for my whole life and is a lifesaver for my super thick and curly hair.

This is why I love this channel. All of your videos are so informative and fun at the same time! Thanks Chris ☺️

LOL…awesome demo! I love Kenra products. Good to know it stood up to a blow torch…lol. BTW, I admire your recommendations and the fact you’re not pushing crap products to the masses. You have consistently recommended the same products because they work. Bravo!

I have never watched this many hair videos in my life Chris .. your advice WORKS!!!! Thank you thank you for sharing your wealth of info and expertise 🙏🏽💕

I really just watched you put Olaplex on toast... But thank you for everything I have learned from you. I have been a barber for 15 years, and blowouts and having long, healthy hair is a very different skill set from bald fades. 💖

Chris, your recommended product list is a game changer!!!! Thank you so much!!! i tried the redken frizz tame for my coarse hair and it really gave it a complete different feeling (although I always thought my products were finde already :D as you said in a few videos, people dont know what they dont know) You're my favorite Hair Stylist because youre honest and have our best interest at heart.

Love your down to earth approach to hair care. I know your specialty is straight, long hair blowouts but would love to see your approach to naturally wavy and curly hair (and short styles).

Thank you so much for explaining that leave in conditioners that mention heart protectant are actually not heat protectants. I was considering it to do both jobs. Even without the bread and applications , I feel your research itself is enough to understand proper hair habits. Very informative content.

Awesome experiment, Chris! Seeing is believing. You handled the blow torch like a pro! I love the Pureology leave-in conditioner. Thanks for this demo!!

You have not just saved my hair but severe scalp pain. Your hair washing tutorial did what my medicated shampoo could not do alone. The yeast overgrowth was so painful I couldn't sleep and I was loosing hair like I had chemo. I lost 50-70% of my hair And it is now growing back.

About 10 yrs ago, I found a bottle of hair ...stuff on my local grocery's marked down shelf. It said "heat protection for blow drying" so I decided to try it. (I can imagine your face right now.) I used about a dime size amount combing it through damp hair before blow drying. My sets would last almost 4 days. When the bottle ran out, I couldn't find the same stuff so I used what I had before. Awful, AWFUL results!! Had to cut off my hair. It made a believer out of me. Now I will not use heat without a heat protector. And I no longer use hair products from the grocery. I spent over 20 yrs in marketing/advertising and I absolutely LOVE this demo! Thanks for the video

Thank you for your videos, I really like how transparent and honest you are! I would love for you to do a similar video about protecting silver/white hair from heat. I do need to use hot tools a few times a week and I don't want to damage/burn it.

I really enjoyed this video. So funny and clever in sharing info that can be somewhat boring. Glad to see a cheaper product that works but will keep in mind what you said about it. Times are tough and may have to deal with a little "stick."

Ordered the two irons and saved well thanks to you. Ordered the big blow out too. Day four of following you. The shampooing twice convinced me - your awesome!

Hey there! I’m an elementary school science teacher in Louisiana so obviously, I love all your tips about protecting my hair especially against humanity. I have to say I found this video very entertaining! Before summer, I do an experiment with my classroom where we put sunscreen on hot dogs and leave them out in the sun. ❤

This is the content I signed up for! Excellent job!! 👏🏻

I have very thick and coarse hair. I bought the Kenra thermal spray and love it! I’ve been using a flat iron for years and it’s was what I have needed to keep my hair lasting for days between washes.

I’ve been watching your videos to learn how to take better care of my hair. I like how you are to the point and not trying to promote just any product. I appreciate it!!! Do you think you will ever do a video about what is the best hot rollers to use? How or best techniques when your using hot rollers? Thanks!!!

When you held the bread and started using the torch on it I almost had a heart attack I thought you were going to burn your hand. Those torches cut through metal ( heavy duty). I was totally surprised how well the heat protection actually worked on bread that was super creative ❤great video and for future reference wear gloves with a torch and never hold what you’re using it on 😂

This is borderline genius...and hilarious. I was definitely using THE SAME leave in conditioner that he showed that claims to double as a "heat protectant" as my primary heat protectant. I feel duped 😡

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Can’t wait for the results

Hi Chris. I follow your shampoo and post wash conditioning routine. Since using the leave in conditioner and olaplex oil my bleach damage short hairs on the top have started growing. I’m so pleased with your product recommendations! Thank you! I do have issues with heat protectants as my hair always gets stiff. I’ve tried quite a few but not the Redken. Does the Redken not do that? Thank you again for all your videos and educating us.

I looove your honesty! Thank you so much for the video ❤️

Ok I had to come back here to say I tried the Redken blow out cream and holy $h!t I’m so impressed. It did all the work for me. I do not blow out my hair and I’m crap at it but this stuff is amazing and it made it so easy. I am 46 and have never enjoyed doing my hair. Only regret is I wish I had found you sooner. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great idea with your testing method, very easy to see & understand the results. I wonder if the type of hair (kinky 4c vs naturally straight ) would cause different results on actual hair.

I love these kinds of crazy tests 😍

I bought the redden blow out cream. Because of your videos. I’m glad to see it really works!!

I have to say that my hairdresser loves the strength , growth and softness and smoothness from using the products you recommend and I’m getting a lot of compliments on my hair , thank you for your videos plus’s I’m doing more with my hair little by little with your videos

This was so helpful, thank you! I'm trying to look into heat protestant for the summer months when I go swimming very often. Can you do a video about what hair routine is good for that? Like does spray protestant work in the water? I fried my hair last summer with the heat waves we had and don't wanna repeat damage. Thank you so much, Chris, we all love your relatable non snob approach!!!

Thank you for your lessons! You help us so much! Love from Greece ♥

I use the kenra heat protectant at home and am just very careful not to over do it and I love it so much! I love this video, so cool!

First off, Chris! This was an awesome video, and you are hilarious! I just have a quick question for you. What is your opinion on It’s a 10 leave in conditioner. Is it a good or bad leave in conditioner?

Hey Chris! Love your videos so much, I’ve watched almost all of them! In your volume video you recommended the Redkin Stay High 18 for a ton of volume, but the product is now discontinued… do you recommend anything new now that will give me more volume than their blow dry cream of theirs? I have fine hair, and “too much” volume doesn’t exist to me! 💗💗💗

Another great video. Could you do a video with tips on how to protect the hair, best products to use when going to the pool or beach please? thanks a lot

Excellent demonstration!!! 🙂

Thank you for such great videos!!! I always trust your knowledge!!!

5:49 Clearly burnt. Then he switched the bread 😂

You’re a game changer Chris! Thank you.

THANK YOU! I've struggled with my hair for 40 years and your tips fixed it! PLEASE weigh in though if you can on the Olaplex lawsuit. I love that stuff and now i'm worried about using it. I've had zero issues though. What are your thoughts?

Thank you for all of this wonderful content!!! I would love a recommendation for a pre-iron heat protectant without short-chain alcohols in the formulation. I learned the hard way to avoid those in all hair and skin care products ( for postmenopausal females ).

I really appreciate your no-nonsense.

Cool video. Thanks for using a control

Hi Chris, been recovering from surgery and have been binging you videos! Thank you! I have enjoyed! I want to know which Redken heat styling product (spray or gel) is best for my fine gray hair?

New sub here ❤ washed and curled my hair according to your tips and I have curl on 2nd day hair. Thought my hair was notoriously hard to curl but it was my technique and products. I never style my hair past washing and air drying but now I will be. ❤ I actually cried tears of happiness this morning. Thanks for breaking it down easily. ❤also this was a fun video to watch!😊

i would really love to see you make a video about shorter hairstyles - above the shoulder length. Especially in terms of what counts as ends/mids, how much product to use, and how to help styles stay for longer. My hair isn't long enough to put in a loose bun while I sleep so I always have crazy bedhead! Also how can I make my bangs styling last longer?

Brought the hot sets 22 and I'm finding it difficult to use, even holding it away. Is the hot sets 11 good? Loving your videos

loved it! 😝 made the point… this isn’t an actual scientific experiment but defiantly gets the point across 👍🏼

What exactly heat protectants should contain as in ingredients? How to recognize that a product is a good heat protectant, also iron heat protectant? Would be good if you can educate us on being aware when looking on products :)

Hey professor! I've been using your routine for coarse hair and it's done wonders for me, but I still have some breakage. Can I use Olaplex, considering I've never dyed my hair, will it help?

I’m following your advice and it’s been 3 weeks my hair is looking/feeling amazing! ❤

I love your videos. Thank you for your amazing information

Just binge watched like all your videos. I wish the stuff you recommend was easier accessed in Poland (would be awesome if you could recommend some replacements for all these magical elixirs) Love it how you explain WHY to use something or do something, Im learning so much here. THIS IS THE WAY.

So use the blow out cream/gel when blow dry and heat protectant spray when flat iron. I currently use the redken conditioner spray for blow out and the redken heat protectant for flat iron. Do you suggest all three. I have fine to medium hair. Thanks

hey chris would you please recommend another product for iron protection ? and does the iron steam babyliss good for hair ? I can’t find redken 22 in middle east thanks in advance ❤ i only found olaplex 6 for blowing out

This was fun. You are so creative.

This vide absolutely made me feel so much better about using heat on my hair!

I love your videos, I have learned so much and my hair is actually growing in length again!!

Love your Videos 💖 could you please do a video on your opinion on henna dye. is it good or bad and does it thickens hair?? there are so many different opinions 😥

What a creative and innovative video idea !!!

My favourite video so far!

Hi the Blowout Professor, I would like to ask you if you could cover the topic of products for blonde hair (to cancel out yellow or orange tones/pigments). Which purple or blue shampoo do you find to be the best ones? Which shampoo is best for preserving or retaining a colour? Which toners do you find to be best for blonde hair? I’m looking forward to see you cover this topic of your favourite products for blonde hair. Sincerely, Sija

I live for that blow torch at the end. 😊

Great test and visuals! But what product did you use on the slice of bread you were eating? 😂 Thank you for all of your videos! They are very informative!

Love this video! Especially the part when Chris is eating the bread 🍞 😂 I have a question about the babyliss pro nano titanium Straightener. Some of the images online show the plates as “Chrome” silver and others show as a “Gunmetal” color Which is the best one to purchase? Is there a difference? Also, what do you think of the mini version? Thanks

Hi!! Can you please make a video talking about keratin treatments? That would be great! Thank you 💗💗

What do you recommend to stop grey hair going yellow when using heat?

A “hair expert” at Ulta told me you must represent a brand. She told me not to get a couple of products you recommended. Then she recommended a Dry Bar product and a major upsell from Revlon’s blow dry brush to the Dry Bar brush. I bought the Revlon and took back her recommended product to pick up yours. Now I’m doing the trinity for fine hair. I just got the Kenra hairspray that you recommend. I really like these high end products. My hair feels, smells and looks so good. I can go days without washing. Thank you so much! I’m learning with curls and styling but still it looks pretty good. What a difference good products make.

Hi Professor. Thanks for the video. I am confused, do I need to use both, the Redken blow-dry cream and the 22 thermal blow-dry at the same time? Thanks

Such a good video! 👏 ❤️

Hi Chris! I watched a lot of your video’s and the’re very helpfull. Thanks for that! The only problem is that I can’t get the Redken 22 spray in the Netherlands.. 😔 Is there any alternative? Instead of the other one that you just talked about?

Hi. Love the videos. Any advise on best blow dryer to use (uk based)?

Is bamboo brush good for long, fine hair? If Yes then which one

Loving the burnt toast🔥question I see you sell Moroccanoil, I use their Perfect Defence, good? I only buy Cruelty free, Redken is not cruelty free. Thanks for a really fun, but informative video.

You are TOO FUN Chris! 🤣🤣🤣 Very scientific trials here! 🤗 Love it! ❤️👑

Please suggest on which hair dye causes less damage and how to use it

I use the Oribe blow dry spray but it feels super oily and how I am concerned that it burns my hair instead of protecting!😳 Can you please try out oribe products and review?

I think this is the best experiment video on heat protection on RU-vid. I love this video. Please do a part 2. I wish you would have added more sprays. Bumble and Bumble is the top rated one on Ulta and the employees tell me it Is the most best selling one. Please do a part 2 and add more sprays. Thank you.

Could you make a video on box dyes - which ones are the best and how often you should use them? Thank you!!!

Thank you for all your tips! I was wondering if you can do a review on Xmondo products compared to the products you recommend. Some of the products you recommend, I can’t get it at Ulta or at Amazon.

I love the way your eyes lit up when you handled that blow torch 😂😂😂

Hey Chris- many thanks for your videos - my hair has never been better! Do you have any recommendations for heat protection products apart from the redken 22? Looks like that one may be discontinued at least here in Europe. I can only find the low hold 11 version. Thanks

I would love to see a video of you trying the GHD Heat Protectant spray and the Aveda Smooth Infusion heat protector

Recently been watching ur videos and I am amazed with the results! My hair is actually looking more better. I have very dry hair and I didn't knw why even though I was using conditioner and a hair mask, my hair didn't feel hydrated. My main concern now is hair fall and weak hair strands. Do u hv tips for this? Also I have wavy/curly hair, there r so many trending products and methods for curly hair and I don't knw what to do! Do i need protein in my hair or not? Plz answer!!

Should you put the heat protectant on damp hair or dry hair ? What about when you need to refresh your blow out can you use it on dry hair right before and do you need to let it dry ? :)

Chris, i am uding a iron on my hair. I bought Moroccan shampoo and conditioner and nr 7 olaplex. I wash my hair and condition then I am using blowout gel and the heat spray from redken as you recommend BUT my hair is curly and on second day my hair is looking like a have never straightened it and on third day is began to be greasy. Do you have any idea why my hair is reaching like that? The only reason why I am not using purelogy leave in is, is it not avaible in DK. Thank you 😊

question you recommend the volume injection for people with thin / fine hair .. but i was just doing research that it’s a PH shampoo , i have read that PH shampoo is only good for people with thick hair because if your hair is thin / fine it causes it to be dry and breakage .. which i have been experiencing with this shampoo could you please talk about this ? and maybe give a different shampoo with out ph because ever since using that exact shampoo my hair is brittle and a rats nest ..

Thank you so much. I always ask hair dresses which is the best heat protector and they never know.

Lol love the video! So should I apply the redken cream before blow dry and the redken before ironing? Is that too much?

Okay maybe it’s a dumb question but when using a flat iron should you put on heat protectant when your hair is wet and let it air dry or place it after hair dries?

Great video, are there any other great heat protectants apart from the redken 22 and kenra? i cant seem to find it anywhere and im based in the uk 😞

THIS was amazing! THIS is what I’ve been needing to see! I’ve always wondered how a thin film of something could protect fragile hair from such extreme temperatures. Wow! If I didn’t already know and trust you from watching your videos I don’t know that I would’ve believed this! Thank you so much for this video! 💜

Hi, I just started watching your videos recently and I have adopted your routine, my question to you is, when you color and highlight your hair, should you avoid shampoos with sodium Laureth sulfate? Like I use the redken shampoo for fine hair, it does contain sodium laureth sulfate..now upon researching the subject, it seems sodium lauryl sulfate is bad..so I am confused, should I use shampoos for color treated hair? Does it matter honestly ? Thank you and I truly enjoy your informations, totally honest !!

Hi, professor! Could you do a video on coloured/colour-treated hair? Which products should be prioritised, for example, shampoo for coloured hair or volume shampoo (according to the hair type test, my result is fine hair). Thank you so much!

I am keen to know how you rate Kerastase products. Do they rate well against other products?
