Advantages: Cheap?

Disadvantages: Frzzling noise on hair, smell is not nice

I use straightening irons every day due to having heavily layered hair which bends about at the earliest opportunity.

The item dooyoo pictures is wrong, the item I am reviewing is Pro Styling heat protection spray.

Packaging=
Clear bottle with pink pump spray with a picture of a lady on the front. 200ml bottle. Ingredients, directions and Schwarzkopf information is present on the back of the bottle.

Texture=
Clear fluid. Looks like water!

Smell=
Not completely terrible but not exactly appealing either, it just smells of chemicals rather than a lot of products which smell way better than this, not exactly fragrant for your hair but does not leave your hair pnent or anything.

How to use=
Can be used on wet hair then blow dry the hair, or on dry hair to use with straightening irons. Protects against temperatures of up to 200 degrees celsius, I straighten at 180 degrees celsius and tend to leave my hair to dry naturally where possible, hence I use it on mostly dry hair. Only use on the lengths and ends, as my top layers are pretty short and cut regularly, I don't like it to look like I've got product near the hair roots and prefer it to be natural.

Effects=
The pump sprays out a good dose. My hair is quite long and I use about 7 sprays for the bottom half of it. One I begin to straighten I can hear sizzling noises. ARGH!! Not sure if it is supposed to do this, I presume the wet liquid is just sizzling but it does not inspire confidence for me!!

One straightened, it helps to get it poker straight and works ok at this. No residue or appearance of the product is left in the hair so that is good. No funny feel after straightening just feels normal.

Conditioning properties=
None in particular, don't think it provides any nourishment to the hair (just see ingredients list at the bottom!) more just a product to simply coat the cuticle of the hair to try and beat the effects of heat styling.

Not really aware of any smell either. It states on the bottle it's a strong hold product, it does nowt for me though, but then again I only use iton the lengths and not the roots so I don't know if this claim is true.

Ingredients=
Water, alcohol, VP/VA copolymer, CE trimonium chloride, hydrolyzed silk, phosphoric acid. Yuck, does not exactly inspire confidence in what you are puting on your precious locks does it!!

Prices=
Got it from B and M etc for £1.60 ish, cheaper than the RRP. Available in most places however.

Summary=
Once the bottle is used up I will not be purchasing again. It's ok but the sizzling on my hair makes me feel like I am being frazzled!!!

Summary: Don't bother with it much better stuff out there.
