I mist on a mixture of conditioner and water before I style my hair... My hair always feels shiny and soft

[svesemenja]

This heat protectant saga is so eye opening. You should try with different oils as well, coconut, argan, Moroccan. I would love to see the results for these as well.

I always thought I was crazy because I felt that when I applied my hair protector my hair felt drier and more mistreated, that confirms that I was right. Thanks for this video. Hello from Colombia

[angiepearson]

could you try something like repeated use of a flat iron with heat protectant compared to water??

[alison]

While this is interesting, I don't think any company would advocate using their product under such harsh conditions. We generally apply heat in short intervals or in a continuous motion where the hair is not under direct heat at all times. I'm just not convinced I should trash heat protectant completely, but I enjoyed your video :)

[soldansbarn]

can you try flatiron your hair (or the same hairs youve been using in these videos) with and without heat protectant and then use one of those microscopes that can zoom in around 400times and see if there’s any difference when you use them as they are supposed to be used? would be very interesting! and im so confused since you posted that last video haha! 😳

[shaunaaghasi]

Uhhhh absolutely not! By putting water on it you’re just boiling your hair 😑🤭

[janetplanet]

But when you dry hair, you don't focus on one section that long. You constantly move the dryer. So would it damage the same?

[raraavis]

Hm...what you did basically mimicked blowdrying, so water would protect the hair from burning until it’s evaporated. No surprise there. But that doesn’t mean it would be a good idea to wet your hair before using a curling or flat iron. The water isn’t just ‚on‘ the hair in wet hair, it’s ‚in‘ the hair. If you heat it so suddenly that it turns to steam while still in the hair, it might actually damage the hair structure. Kinda like a tomato ‚exploding‘ in the microwave. I would be very careful with that.
I would also love tests with other kind of hair products like smoothing/curling lotion, if you feel like going on with this series.
I’ve never used a separate heat protectant, but smoothing lotion seems to help with keeping the hair nice and flat. Would love to know, if it’s more harmful longterm than just clean, dry hair.
Great idea testing this, in any case 👍

I don't feel like this was an accurate test. Who soaks their hair with these products and then just hold the heat in the same place? Maybe you should team up with an hairdresser who's trained in the science behind hair and these products. I really like the idea behind this video, but I think it needs a do over.

[marialeon]

I think heat protectant actually works because it delays burning compared to dry hair. Water needs to evaporate before doing any effect.

[ladylaurel]

Normally, I love your videos, but this time, I believe that this is a bit misleading. People aren't going to be holding a hot styling tool on the hair for extended periods of time..at least I hope not. Also, no matter if it is heat protector, or water..if a sizzling, popping sound is heard the hair is too wet, and is getting cooked.

[princessnature]

Wait I thought you had to let the heat protectant that you already sprayed on your hair, to be dry in order to use a curling iron or straightening iron to your hair. Not, to use curling iron when your hair is still wet? I'm confused!

[SizShi]

It’s common sense, really. Wash and dry. Use a small amount of heat protectant, lowest heat setting to get desired results, and move the heat off the hair fast. No one is directing concentrated heat onto a single spot of hair for minutes at a time. This video really proves nothing.

[sophiehamilton]

I love the idea of these videos but I think the premise is flawed. What you’ve really done is proven that heat protectant makes the hair dry faster than normal water, and thus it burns earlier. I’d also be interested to see the result in a sample which combines the damp hair with the heat protectant, since that’s the way it is designed to be used anyway. You’ve shown the effect of the protectant saturating dry hair, but if it’s designed to be used in conjunction with water (damp hair) you can’t really make inferences about the effectiveness of the product for its intended use. But still love your vids!

[jgoldfarb]

I’m so confused I don’t know what to do😢I’m getting a wig😂😂

[triciarose]

You were pressing on the one hair.... that's not fair.

[TheSiobhan]

I have naturally curly hair and try not to use heat on my hair that often. I do dry my hair with a diffuser but I use the dryer set to cool and hold down the cold shot button. I also make sure my hair is FULL of the right products to not only enhance my curl etc… but they have ingredients on them designed to keep the hair as healthy as possible. I have also found that if I do “need” a curling wand to touch up an uncooperative curl or two later in the week, that if i set the wand to the lowest number (200*) and just fix that piece of hair quickly my hair seems to be fine, and not receiving to much damage. That being said I would NEVER do it every day. Perhaps if you test things like leave in conditioners or oil that you allow to soak into the hair first and see how they do in the place of a heat protectant? just a thought, because i have found leave-ins and cream stylers work great at protecting my hair as far as I can tell.

[skdarc]

Usually when I blow dry my hair I use a heat protectant over damp hair. So does that make it better, or not🤔

[shannon]

I wonder what would happen if you mixed water with some organic Argon Oil and sprayed it lightly!
