A way to test out if your heat protectant is actually doing it’s job, you can spray some of it on the back of your hand and let it dry down, then take your blow dryer on a warm heat setting and point it at the area you sprayed (obviously keep a safe distance between the blow dryer and your arm). You can tell whether or not your heat protectant is actually working by how warm the area with the spray gets. Essentially that area should be noticeably cooler than the areas of your skin without the product on it. Just a lil tip I thought I’d share with the girlies😘 love ya chica thank you for the consistent high quality content, you’re the best!!!
Another one I’ve seen, and this is in all seriousness 😂, is take a piece of bread and apply your heat protectant on a part of it and then put it in the toaster and see the difference in the toasted part and the part you applied the heat protectant. I saw JVN do it and was mind blown
Hey, the pureology colour fanatic is mostly just a leave in conditioner. No product is going to have 21 uses within (at the max capacity) such as it says it protects the hair but I definitely wouldn’t rely on this product for heat protection because it has so many other ingredients and purposes. This products is best to be used as a leave in conditioner great for detangling and softening your hair. If your looking for a heat protected please buy a product that only advertises as a heat protectant for heat tools and in general because you’ll be getting the most effective protection as the product was made for only that purpose. If this all makes sense aha. The multi task products I personally wouldn’t recommend for use of when using hot tools probably only blow drying as the heat is far less hot and damaging.
Hey abbey as a undergrad science student I really appreciate you educating people on the nonsense that these big brands put out to scare consumers. Also all you recommended products are amazing love from Canada
I just copied this from Ulta's site and it says it Primes it for heat , so I would take it that it is a heat protectant . Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Conditioner Spray is a multi-tasking leave-in treatment that primes hair for heat, detangles, protects from damage, and add shine from root to tip.
For those on a budget: The L'Oreal Dream Lengths Heat Slayer spray is THE best affordable heat protectant spray I've ever tried! ❤ Also, great ingredients in it! Including Niacinamide, Amodimethicone, Castor Seed Oil, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and Salicylic Acid
I like to use the pureology leave in conditioner, and for heat protectant i use De Lorenzo Defence. Always use a seperate product that's specifically for heat protection, things that say added heat protection is a marketing thing. The pureology spray is great for a leave in conditioner but I wouldn't trust it alone as a heat protectant.
I think I can officially call myself a big Abbey lover because I literally buyed every single product, mentioned in this video over the past few months. 😅💞 And what can I say, I will do so over and over again. Just because she is dang right.
There is a hairdresser called The Blowout Professor that also makes hair videos. He said something like - if you’re going to flat iron your hair, you need to use a heat protectant specifically made for flat irons. So basically a regular heat protectant only protects against blow dryers. Thoughts ? Thanks !
I don’t care for that guy to be honest. I’m not going to take away the help he gave some people but he made some errors along the way. I think it’s his absolute car salesman confidence he has while saying those errors that irks me. He forgets people have textured hair at times for one. If you have curlier hair you’ll be able to pick up what I’m saying easily. Not saying you still won’t be able to. Anyway the heat protectant temperature has to be more then temperature of the tool. That’s basically it.
@@TracyD2 To be honest though surely a product made specifically to be a heat protectant would be better than say a leave in conditioner that just has a heat protectant aspect to it? Does kinda make sense to me. Both Abbey & the blow dry professor rave about Pureology leave in conditioner and I found it worse than useless on my hair. Made it really dry and did nothing to detangle condition or smooth. I so wanted to love it as so many rave about it but I tried it 3 times with awful results.
@@TracyD2 I have thin wavy hair and yeah i totally get it. one thing that irks me is when he puts on that wig, acts and talks like his version of a woman. That whole thing makes me think he’s someone I wouldn’t like.
@@TracyD2 he's quite opinionated but take that for what it is. I would rather have opinionated people like him rather than wishy-washy ones that you don't really know where they stand. It's also just natural for real hair stylists to have opinions about what they do and don't like because they have to achieve results. It's much different than an influencer or random reviewer online who can agree to say everything is sunshine and rainbows
Squishing and pulsing in your hair products he!ps immensely with absorption. Its especially effective with your conditioner in the shower. Curlies and wavies do this all the time. Game changer! Good video Abbey!
If you have texture it’s a good idea to squeeze products in. It gets the product into more of the hair instead of skipping around in different areas. If I’m making any sense today.
I love the Bumble & Bumble, but I really want to try the Pureology spray, mostly just because I love trying new products 😄 Thanks for another great video, Abbey!
@Suzie Althens I never used the Bumble and Bumble but the Pureology was Fan-freaking-tastic, chefs kiss good! I just bought the huge one! It's $, but OMG!
Kerastase discipline Fluidissime is my favorite heat protection spray. Gives amazing SLIP (amodimethicone as second ingredient), isn't oily or heavy. Makes it super soft, sleek, and gives natural looking shine.
A scientific question about the color wow dream coat that I can’t seem to figure out, eventhough I am reading the same hair science book as you😅 Does the color wow dream coat prevent other products (like hair masks and leave-in conditioners) from working? It says that it stays in your hair for about 3-4 washes and acts like a coat or film around the hair strands. Doesn’t that mean that it prevents other products that need penetration, like olaplex or K18, from working in your hair for about 3-4 washes?
With my experience, it was like using Rain-X on my hair. Water beaded up on it, but my hair remained dry. I could hear and feel my hair snapping off whenever I ran my fingers through it. I also noticed a buildup of it, so my stylist told me not to use it and she even showed me how to use it. Sadly, it didn't work for me.
HI!! Love you Abby! You're the best! So... I have thin hair and Pureology didn't work for me- I gave it to my friend. It made my hair feel yucky and I tired it several times.😞 However, I LOVE Joico K-Pak color therapy and I don't even color my hair anyone. Then I use either (BOTH tiny amount) of Bed Head After party OR Kenra Platinum Silkening gloss. I switch it up, but put both on dry hair. I'm trying Kenra Blow dry spray (its meh) but Kenra products just smell SO good!
Are you referring to the Pureology leave-in ? If so you are the only other person I’ve seen have the same experience as me. Everyone raves about that product but it was so gross in my hair. I also have thin hair. I will take your recommendations on products.
If you wanna use a actual heat protection you will use something that’s made for JUST THAT.. not something that’s a 21+ benefit it helps but it’s not a actual just heat protectant..
I am not smart enough to analyze the ingredients but if you read the description, it says it’s a heat protectant but it doesn’t specify the temperature. That’s where it gets iffy because does it protect from hair dryer heat(milder) or the heat tools(much hotter). Compared to say the bumble and bumble primer description is clear that it protects from heat upto 450F.
I'm super excited for this. I need this category... Oh Abbey! There's information out there about squishing to condish for curlies. It's make sense for others too
I’m a curly girl and I squish the crap out of conditioner and other products. My hair is super thick and coarse so I kinda have to do I get it all over
I LOOVVEEE the bumble and bumble. It smells amazing, it has a creamy texture, i feel like it truly reduces freeze by A LOT. I have A LOT of hair that's also long and a single full size bottle has lasted me a long time. I'm sad to say this is my first heat protectant at 24😬 but i don't think i'll ever replace this product for another one.
I really love the bumble and bumble primer but it's so expensive. I'm more of an aerosol type heat protectant person but I do love leave-ins that have heat protection in them. 💜
can we get an updated heat protectant video? I have been dying to see what the best heat protectant spray is on dry hair, for some reason I cannot find any, and would love to know your opinion!
I love the Pureology and Bumble and Bumble but both give me breakouts on my face and body (even if I'm careful about keeping my hair off both). I'll have to give the other two a try.
I've got a question about Amodimethicone. I was told that it was one of the 'bad 'cones' because it coats your hair and is not water-soluble. Meaning it won't let any conditioning products actually get into the hair. What's the truth behind that?
Hey Abbey! have you ever try micellar water on cotton rounds on the scalp (same as you would on the face) instead of dry shampoo? That seems to work on my super sensitive-dry shampoo-hating scalp
It does smell very strong I agree but so do so many hair products lately - like we have actual perfume to smell nice, all these scents competing with each other makes for a cocktail of conflicting excess scents on everyone. I walk past some people and gasp for air.
Abbey, I was literally going through your channel and tiktok 2 days ago looking for a video about heat protectants lol I feel like you read my mind, I always trust the products you recommend
Ooh I just got a bunch of Oribe products at my department store that were 70% offf! I would normally never but the restyler, detangler primer, and mousse are amazing!
@@Amy-qe7ti it was wild. Think my department store in Sweden were getting rid of the line (and Amika) maybe there weren’t selling? It was crazy 50-60 dollar products for like 15.
I don’t love the price tag on Oribe products and I’m a bit annoyed that it sounds like the best fit for my needs. 😂😂😂 It legit sounds great for me, thanks!
So there are very few ingredients that actually have been tested and proven to protect the hair less than 50 percent better than without using them Most multitasking products do not have the percentage of those ingredients shown in studies to actually prevent any damage. This subject in this video definitely needed more research behind it
What are your thoughts on drugstore dry shampoo after the majority have had recalls in the past few years, especially recently (this month)? Batiste, Not Your Mother's, Dove, Tresseme, Nexxus, Suave. This is why I have trust issues with drugstore hair care. Almost every brand is owned by Procter & Gamble or Unilever and when there's cancer-causing ingredients found and recalls, it affects almost everything. 😵💫
Abbey, have you ever used Foxy Bae? I use their magic 12-in-1 and it is too nice. its under $20 and it's a heat protectant, helps with breakage, makes my hair shiny, and smells nice! I'd love your review/thoughts on it, please.
Thank you for the recommendations. I want to try the Bumble and Bumble. I’m currently using Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray and Dry Bar Prep Rally. Both have oils in them for dryer hair.
Hi Abbey ❤, I'm using the Tresemme Heat protectant at the moment but once I've finished that I'm going to look into purchasing Pureology. Thank you for reviewing yoy top picks ❤.
Don't.That product is not an effective heat protection.Great detangler but for heat PROTECTION get a product that only does that. The 20 in one is even more ridiculous than the 2 in 1 shampoo. It's just a gimmic. Also, I ve seen ppl testing purology as a heat protector... big fail. Not sure why Abby won't actually recommend a real heat protector lol
I'm pretty curious about the Oribe. I have very fine and thin hair so I need light heat protection. I recently rediscover the Redken hotsets I think my mom used it in the 90s. Anyway I like it because it's not heavy but has a lot of old.which my hair needs. But I would like even lighter.
Can we have a gym hair care episode. Sauna, steam room, pool, and hair up in a pony bun seems fairly destructive. How to I keep my hair together with an active gym lifestyle!
Hey Abbey!!! Love you and your videos! QUESTION: what if our hair is SO thin and fine (due to hair loss) th at every time we spray a leave in- it never actually makes it in the strands? If that makes sense. I literally have to spray into my hand and coat what little strands I have left or the leave in just gets the air and NOT my hair 😞❤
Hi Abbey! First of all thanks for the informative video. Unfortunately, many of the products you recommend aren't available in mh county. So, could you mention what INGREDIENTS should we look for when buying a heat protectant? That way we can decide if the product will really protect the hair or not 🙏🏻
Could you do a review on oribe products you like? I recently got the gold shampoo/conditioner and oil from the Sephora sale I love them! I wanna know your thoughts and opinions! I Love your channel so much! ❤️
Just getting around to commenting on this video, and OMG, Yes, Yes, Yes! I adore the Color Wow dream coat, I have super curly hair, colored highlighted, etc. I bought the Pureology Color Fantastic after watching your videos! And I love amodimethicone too! It's pricy, but WELL worth the price! And I'm a very frugal person😉I have never been able to use NO OTHER PRODUCT to maintain my curls. they stay beautiful curls without any gel, mousse, spray or curl cream! I KNOW, it's Fan-freaking-tastic (BTW, I used to only watch your skincare videos, and used to skip the others😁🤷♀️I don't do that anymore😉💗💗Have a beautiful day🌤🌻
Hi! If you don’t mind me asking how do you use it in your routine? My hair sounds similar to yours! Do you blow dry your hair? And do you find like it needs “tension” like Abbey says in the video in order to work?
I've read many places that one should allow the heat protection product to dry completely before using the curling iron, otherwise it will badly burn & damage one's hair. Do you think that's true? Can one use the curling iron when one's hair is still damp from the heat protection product? Thank you for all the great information!
Dream coat is supposed to be used as a sealer on your hair. So it’s supposed to be used last and only with the dream cocktails. Do not use it with their XL volume foam.
Hi Abbey! Have you tried Pravana The Perfect Blonde Seal & Protect Leave-In Conditioner Spray. Provides deep hydration . My hair is fine and sensitized. Thank you for sharing amazing products and tips! I would love to know what are your favorite Kerastase products.
hey abbey!! i love your videos, we have really similar hair types so your videos are always super helpful for me when it comes to choosing products for my hair 😊 i'd love to see your opinions on gisou's products, i've tried the deep conditioning hair mask and i thought it was really good!!
Abby, can you please do another video on heat protectant for dry hair? I use it like you use the Oribe bit that was is a bit 💵. Another guy I follow on YT really pushes the Redken thermal spray (red bottle) but Ulta reviews say it’s sticky. Thanks!!
Thank you for all your videos ☺️ I just ran out of the fragrance free No nonsense spray and feel like the fragrance in a lot of the other heat protectants are too strong for me. Do you have any fragrance free recommendations and/or anything else I can use on my hair that will protect it? Thank you!
Do heat protectors actually do anything because spraying it makes my hair sizzle and how is misting a little liquid doing anything? It seems like it just fries my hair.
Have you tried the sally beauty knockoff product for the color wow? It's called sleek and it has a very similar packaging. Im wondering how it compares though
The B&B does nothing for my frizz and it's too heavy for my fine, wavy and frizzy hair. I do use it however for its amazing scent, but would not buy again. Perhaps I'm using it wrong though, I just add to wet / dry hair and I don't blowdry. The smell is lovely, making it a very expensive hair perfume for me only.
I noticed you put that Bumble and Bumble spray is $22.. have you found it somewhere that cheap or have a code that brings it down to that price?? I know at Sephora and Ulta it’s $32. I go through it so quickly and love it so much.
I use Kevin Murphy products for everything really - love their untangle spray which is prob most similar to pureology! But I could never find a heat protectant to use on dry hair… the aveda heat protectant spray is the only one I’ve found until you mentioned oribe!
I love Kevin Murphy products too and surprised Abbey has never reviewed them. Maybe because they are a salon only product? You really can't buy them in a store, but they are awesome!
There’s one from Sally’s that is an olive oil heat protectant but my face breaks out like crazy if I use it. It’s so good though! Makes me sad because so many of them break me out where my hair brushes against my face.
Hey Abbey! Can u please let us know your thoughts on Sol De Janeiros hair care?😩 I have heard so many different opinions but yours is the only one I trust :D Loved the video btw
Hi abbey so this question is about k18 and olaplex. I can't find an answer on google and k18 danced around my the question.. so when hair is damaged and needs protein and moisture after bleaching. If u use k18 or olaplex do u still have to use protein treatments ? K18 says it repairs broken polypeptide chains (keratin chains) so wouldnt that fix any protein loss or damage?
I’ve seen Matt loves hair recommend aerosols for that, but when asked if sprays, or oils like olaplex no 7 with heat protection are okay for dry hair and heat tools he said YES it’s just preference that aerosols go on easy on dry hair
Thats right.He recommends Redken Big Blow out for drying your hair with a hair-dryer.When you use hot irons use Redken Hot Sets 22.This can protect up to heat over 400 F
Hey Abbey! (And community) Was wondering if you are supposed to blow dry these sprays dry before you use a curling iron? Or if they are meant to be used wet on the hair?
The products she mentioned are meant to be used on wet/ damp hair and a blow dryer. I have them all. If you’re going to use an appliance like a flat iron or curling iron make sure that your heat protectant has dried if the first ingredient is water. If your heat protectant is mainly silicones and NO water it’s safe to use your flat iron or curling iron. Why? Silicones won’t make your hair sizzle or burn. Silicones becoming a layer of protection around the hair strands. When the heat protectant has water the water has to dry/ dissipate first if not you’re going to sizzle your hair. Trust me you don’t want that. Good luck 🌸🌸🌸
I bought the bumble and bumble invisible oil primer through Amazon, I hated how it left my hair after applying it, sticky, stiff and tangled. Is that normal? I was expecting a detangler kind of feeling and softness, but nothing like that happened, I am really thinking that maybe I got a fake Chinese product 😢
So, I use detangler, leave in conditioner & volume styler. Would you say spray WOW after detangler & then I can still use leave in, etc? Or is the WOW going to shield anything else out?
I really loved Pureology and bumble and bumble :) however I feel like they’re making my hair kinda oily no matter how much I use so I’m kinda searching again … any recommendations?
Where am i going wrong with the purology spray? Ive quite thick hair, i have tried spray all over, ive trying only on the ends, ive tried spraying in the air and letting it fall.......every time my hair feels mattered and gross
I flat iron my hair bone dry if not my hair will sizzle. I love the Ion heat protectant spray that’s mainly all silicones and the Eva NYC spray primer it’s also all silicones. They do a fantastic job of protecting my hair when it’s dry. I don’t use any heat protectant with water unless my hair is wet/ damp and I’ll be using a blow dryer. I make sure I don’t spray near my scalp to avoid a greasy scalp. I have all the products she mentioned but I only use them as detanglers when my hair is wet. The Ion heat protectant spray and Eva NYC primer will not make your hair sticky or crunchy like many heat protectants do. Good luck 🌸🌸🌸
So here's a question: Does heat protection products really work? After watching this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ZiK6X-kb8k.html and this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PC7z8Y43ne8.html and a bunch of other videos testing heat protecting products I started to question if this is really affective? a way to make us spend more money? or even more damaging? Love to hear your thoughts about that
I used to use the bumble and bumble. I really liked it but I have veeery oily scalp and this was not doing me any favour, on the contrary. I was not using it on the roots, only from middle to the ends, but still, it was making my hair oily in 1 day already. What heat protector do you recommend for oily scalp and hair? I would really appreciate it if you could respond
Do you have a cheaper product to use on dry hair? The ones I’ve tried leave my hair stuff and sticky. Hate them. And at least a couple of them weren’t cheap cheap...(Redkin products.). Thanks. Love your content. Wish had found you earlier
I use the Ion heat protectant spray from Sally Beauty Supply. It’s in a gray/ silver bottle or the EVA NYC primer spray without water mainly ALL silicones. I’ve used them all from super high end to drugstore. I swear by them. Why? Well, I like a spray that doesn’t have water because anything with water will make my hair sizzle if I’m using a flat iron or curling iron. Anything else will make my hair sticky and crunchy. I love my hair to feel flowy and I like to be able to run my fingers through my hair without them stuck. Also, the heat protectants I mentioned make my hair glossy, glass like,shiny and protected from heat. My hair is long and bleached and in great health despite all the bleaching and blow drying and flat ironing. I don’t mind using a heat protectant with water as the first ingredient ONLY if I’m going to blow dry first. As of late all I use is the Dyson AirStrait because for me it’s an All in One. I haven’t had to pick up my flat iron. Good luck 🌸🌸🌸🌸
