Easy fixation without gluing, significantreducing the level of porosity, giving shine to locks - the main characteristics that thermal protection has for Estel hair. Customer reviews also point out the surprisingly low cost of this professional product, its economical use and its pleasant smell.
However, Thermal Protection Hair SprayIt is recommended for normal hair and hair prone to fat, as under the influence of particularly high temperatures it is able to dry to a large extent both the tips and the entire length. If you warm up the iron to 200aboutWith and regularly cut split ends, then this product is quite suitable for you.
Wella
Brand Wella from Germany offersThere are two products for customers with thermal protection properties: Wella Professionals Thermal Image and Wella Professionals Dry. Both of these tools are quite popular, but the quality is much worse than, for example, thermal protection for Estel hair. Reviews show that Wella does not deserve any special praise on the Russian market.
Wella Professionals Thermal Image has two phases,therefore, it must be shaken thoroughly before use. The advantages of this product consist in quick absorption, giving the hair smoothness and shine, good protection at medium temperature conditions - up to 150aboutC. At the same time, this product is not recommended for daily styling with an iron and a hairdryer and needs to be carefully metered - too heavy application provokes the effect of “dirty hair”.
Wella Professionals Dry - Thermal Foam,designed for hair dryer. It is characterized by a weightless and melting texture, helps straighten strands in seconds, has a fruity aroma. However, this is the only thing that boasts a thermal protection for Wella hair. Reviews of women who have used it for quite a long time, reported significant hair gluing and rapid contamination. This product is recommended for temporary or single use.
L'Oreal
In a series of thermal protective agents, L’Oreal hasThere are three products: L "Oreal Professionnel Iron Finish and L" Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Thermo Cell Repair, L oil "Oreal Professionnel Liss Ultime Thermo-Smoothing Oil. All products have earned quite high marks among the consumer audience. In particular, users note the extraordinary tenderness of hair after application of the products, good smoothing of even unruly curls, lack of a feeling of heaviness, unobtrusive aroma, effect that persists even after several sessions of washing the head.
These means of thermal protection for hair, reviews ofwhich are mostly positive, yet have a couple of minor flaws - uneconomical spending and a fairly high price. For the rest, L’Oreal products are recommended for use and will protect hair well from both hair dryer and ironing.
Avon
Advance Techniques - quite interestingthermal protection for hair "Avon". Reviews of women who have already tried this product only confirm this fact: the product has a styling effect, that is, it helps to model and fix a hairstyle. With a fairly low price, this thermal protection is not inferior in quality to Estel and L’Oreal, however it is washed off after the first time. A bottle of 100 ml is enough for a long time, the spray does not dry the ends, the hair does not curl even for 2-3 days and does not push.
It was also experimentally found that AdvanceTechniques will not suit owners of hard and dried hair - curls will look dull and unnatural. In other cases, the product justifies its purpose.
Matrix
Among the range of Matrix on the store shelves you can meet several products that have thermal protective properties: shampoo, spray and smoothing agent.
Heat Resist Shampoo is more caringfor hair, rather than protects them from exposure to high temperatures. However, due to the presence of some blocking qualities can be used as an additional tool in the complex.
Matrix Design Pulse Thermal Styling Mist -Spray thermal protection for hair, reviews regarding the effectiveness of which are also ambiguous. It performs styling functions much better than protective ones, therefore it is recommended for use only under the influence of low and medium temperatures. It has a bonding effect, so it will be good for hair styling, and it smells like ordinary varnish.
Matrix Sleek Look Smoothing Agentdeserved more positive ratings. Hair straightens well, and protects well from exposure to hot air. Unsatisfied in the bulk were those who used Sleek Look along with the iron, so it is better to apply it only when drying with a hair dryer and not every day.
Syoss
Heat Protect от Syoss – единственная среди всего brand assortment thermal protection for hair. The feedback from each customer about this product is quite individual, but the overall picture is positive: it protects against ironing and hair dryer, keeps styling, hair is shiny and smooth. The texture is unusual - sticky on the hands, but completely imperceptible on the curls. The price may be a little overpriced, but the cylinder is enough for a long time.
Kapous
Invisible Care Kapous - thermal protection for hair,reviews of women about which can be more attributed to positive rather than negative. The disadvantages are in a bad dispenser, because of which the product is spent extremely uneconomically, inability to use with an iron, and also in a high price. The rest of the customers boldly declare that this heat-shielding spray fully justifies itself: under the action of a hair dryer, the hair does not dry out, remains clean and soft, much longer, keeps styling. Some have noted the effect of lamination and the easy distribution of the agent over the entire length of the strands.
Schwarzkopf Professional
Schwarzkopf products are at an average price.categories, but this does not affect its quality at all. Got2b Spray Guardian Angel, Got2be Rectifier and Essence Ultime Crystal Shine Spray - according to women, is practically the best non-professional thermal protection for hair. The recall of customers in a unanimous degree indicates good protection (right up to 220aboutC), the possibility of using all three productswith different types of technology for hair styling and an additional function of smoothing along the entire length. Heavily damaged tips will not save any of this thermal protection, but they will look at least decent enough.
