I'm old. My hair is old. It's super thin and very, very frizzy. I wear it long to add weight and add lots of product to try to settle it down. If I wore my hair in its natural state in public, someone would probably call the hair police. It's that bad.

FOR YEARS I had been blow drying my hair straight with a big round brush. It's worked in the past, but lately this way of styling has left my hair completely fried. It just can't take it anymore. I've used numerous expensive brands of heat protection products and none have worked… until I tried this one. After doing some research on Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray and reading all the great reviews, I had to try it, and I must say it's the only product that has worked, and worked extremely well. It's awesome!!! It has changed not only the way my hair looks and feels, it's saving me a tremendous amount of time and money trying to tame it.

I know this sounds like a commercial, but I assure you it is not. I've never even written a review before, but I sure do read 'em! I'm especially interested to know the styling techniques of others. If you're reading this and have hair like mine (you poor thing), I'll tell you what is working for me: I wash my hair in the evening and let it dry naturally. In the morning, I spray a copious amount of Tresemme on my hair, to the point where it's sufficiently damp, but not soaking wet. I blow it dry without the use of the big round brush, then use a curling iron to straighten. (I'm not a big fan of the flat irons.) I add a small amount of gel when I'm done to add extra shine.

It's taken me a very long time to figure out the best way to deal with hair like mine. If this even helps one person out there, I'm glad I took the time to write this. Perhaps this will help you save a lot of time and a lot of money. I love this product!!!

I actually ran out of the kind of straightening spray that I typically use because it is soooooooooooo difficult to find. So I decided to go with this one for the time being.

The original spray I used was alcohol based, so it really didn't feel like anything was there at all (probably because of evaporation) but I never used a straightener without it, so I don't know what my hair is like WITHOUT a protecting spray.

This one was quite nice. Not bad. But not phenomenal. But let me tell you, I'm a girl that washes her hair every OTHER day. So I can't be having any gunk in it on the first day. And this product, though it made my hair crazy soft, felt greasy and was a bit heavy. Probably because I was used to the first one I'd tried.

It doesn't really make hair greasy "looking", but I can definitely feel it, and the 2nd day look is kind of a bit too grungy for my tastes.

The smell is REALLY strong. If you can't handle strong fruity/sweet smells, I do not recommend you trying this, because if you're using a protecting spray, you'll be using it EVERYDAY about. It's really pungeant, and I eventually got used to it, but the smell (similar to a sweet fake apple scent) didn't really match my personality.

Though, the grease and the weight is BEARABLE. And it was kind of funny when my guy friends started petting my hair and saying it was crazy soft... because I have Asian hair, where crazy soft hair doesn't really come with the package.

I couldn't tell if it actually PROTECTED my hair after straightening it. You tell me. :]

The easiest way to find out if you actually LIKE the product is to try it. Hey! If you don't like it, let a friend have it. Not like you splurged for it.

    The nozzle was problematic - wound up emptying contents into a different container. Was hoping for a less frizzy/fried look but not seeing a big diff. Hair does look shinier when it finally straightens out.

        Comments about TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray, 8 fl oz:

        I was skeptical of using this product, as I am not a fan of the TRESemme line of hair products. But I gave it a shot after reading the great reviews for it. I am so glad that I did!

        I have been using high-end products on my hair for over a year now (Moroccan oil, macadamia oil (entire line), NuMe (entire line), etc.) and I was happy with the softness and general health of my hair. But, when I added the TRESemme heat protector spray to my arsenal, I arrived at perfection! My hair is so much softer and the ends of my long, color-treated hair remain healthier in between trims.

        This product is a must for anyone using heat products on their hair. I spray my hair all over with it while it is wet and then blow dry. Additionally, I spray each section of my hair before I straighten or curl it with an iron. On day two, I spray again before using my heated instruments and my hair does not get oily or greasy.

        Love this product!!!

                    I have fine, very straight long hair that normally won't hold curl for very long. I started using the heat tamer on my dry hair before using the curling iron and I have found it helps hold the curl for not just one day but even overnight so the style actually is great for the next day! If you've got fine hair and are looking for something to hold the style, Tresemme Heat Tamer might be just what you are looking for.

                      This spray is perfect--I have naturally very thick, straight-borderline-wavy hair that can get poufy if I try to straighten it. This spray controls my frizz without trying to straighten my hair (unlike John Frieda Frizz-Ease). It smells great and is very lightweight! My only recommendation is that, if you tend to get greasy roots, spray only the bottom half of your hair.

                        The concept is great, as I wished we'd had more variety of conditioners, detanglers, and heat protectants when I was growing up. I have fine, thin, otherwise lifeless locks, and it would have been nice not to have to deal with heavy, traditional shower conditioner. I use a light leave in spray conditioner and when I'm going to blow dry, I've started using a heat protect spray alongside my volumizing mousse. I purchased this after reading reviews and watching related YT videos. Everyone had something pretty positive to say about the product, especially when comparing it to similar ones. My opinion - it's an ok product that I believe does what it promises. But for me, it's at a price. The downfall with the Tresemme Thermal Heat Tamer is that it leaves this teflon like residue in my hair. I like the bottle style with the sprayer. I follow the directions and spray before I blow dry or heat style. I end up with shiny, healthy looking hair, but I can feel this texture that also lingers on any surface within the vicinity of where I misted beforehand. And by the end of the day or next morning my hair takes on an oily sheen and is weighed down. Thus, it's ok. I've found very similar products since with the same price point that do not leave this weird residue and do an equal if not better job protecting even into my 2nd day.

                          I learned about this product from a friend when she did my hair - her hair was about waist-long, thick, wavy hair, and she tended to straighten it almost daily - but her hair wasn't damaged, and it was never frizzy, even on rainy days.

                          So while she was curling my hair for a dance competition, she pulled out this spray and spritzed me down - light, easy, not heavy, and set to work. I warned her how my hair never holds curls, even when they're done professionally, but these lasted me all night, and into the next morning - with no hair spray. Either she's got the magic touch, or this spray is simply a miracle worker.

                          Either way, this product left my hair soft, shiny, smooth, and frizz-free - I use it now when I straighten my hair, as I've got those few stubborn sections that want to curl while the rest of my hair is straight. I have never had a problem with this product, and it has kept me from the usual split-end damage I usually get when I use heat on my hair. Definitely recommend this to anyone who styles their hair frequently.

                            If you are looking for a product that works to protect your hair from heat damage, this is the product for you. In addition, the price is extremely inexpensive, yet it is effective. Also, it works as a detangler by offering the hair moisture which allows your brush to "slip" through the hair effortlessly.
