Would heat protection help?

I just read dimethicone and cyclomenticone are best cones for heat protecting.
Article also mentioned hydrolyzed protein. Also I don't see those in my protectants. Labels are worn tho

I have never understood how they can claim a heat protectant works! Spray it on your hand, then apply your straighteners-you will burn! The same is true for your hair! the only difference is you can't feel it because its dead. the moisture insite the hair will still boil and burst the hair shaft, with or without some overpriced spray on it. It might look and feel nicer with the spray, because you've just coated your hairs with (basicly) plastic, making them look shiny, but once that stuff washes off, eugh!

Don't beleive the hype!

They are supposed to just slow the rate of heat absorption I believe. Not stop it completely.
Its hard to imagine anything being protective at 450 degrees. That kind of heat is scary.

So you could hold a hot straightner on your hand for a while before it burns? Nope, dont buy it. Direct heat transfer doesn't work that way, not without a significant quantity of insulating material, which theses sprays, arent.
