Bain de Terre Recovery Complex Anti-Frizz Shine Serum.

Good anytime you use heat, to include a blow dryer, hooded dryer, flat iron, or curling iron. Excellent ingredients, not TOO heavy on the cones, extremely light weight unlike other heavier serums that don't allow movement if you accidentally use to much while protecting your tresses. Provides great shine, great smoothing wet or dry, and excellent heat protection all in one. Light scent, not "gooey" like CHI Silk Infusion, Nexxus, or Biosilk. And a little goes a long way. I use this on wet hair before blow drying, also use it before flat ironing on dry hair. Never ever leaves my hair feeling or looking greasy and stuck together.


Product Description:
Bain de Terre Recovery Complex Anti-Frizz Shine Serum eliminates frizz while smoothing split ends, leaving hair with incredible shine. This Patented hair-nourishing formula releases an exclusive blend of natural essential oils, including meadowfoam seed, grape seed, and mango seed. An added frizz-controlling silicone actively repairs, protects, moisturizes, and adds shine to hair. This is an alcohol-free, extra-moisturizing formula. Safe to use on permed, straightened or color-treated hair.

Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Pg-propyl Silanetriol, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Water (Aqua), Synthetic Wax, Hydroxyethyl Behenamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride Pei-10, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Hexylene Glycol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance (Parfum).

Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum

 

[NGraceO]

I'm surprised to have not seen anyone say Sabino MB yet (only go thru pg. 9 lol)....I'm really looking into that one, but up until now i've used fantasia, however, I'm seeking one that'll prevent reversion...

 

[Str8~Curly]

I just used V05 Miracle mist and it did an excellent job. My hair is bouncy and silky.

 

[DaDragonPrincess]

I'm gone to try FHI Hotsauce and CHI SIlk Fusion

Chi Infra Treatment. *Instantly* adds moisture and strength to your hair after shampooing - even after a hard recontrusting/protein treatment. You can feel the change as soon as you put it on.

this just reminds me, I'm almost out...off to order another bottle.

FHI! Has literally no cones and has silk proteins!

 

[mistee11]

I like Keracare Silken Seal. This stuff works so good -- the flat iron would just slip through my hair! I want to try the Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum though because I love that whole product line -- it makes my hair so soft and silky. I told my daughter to shampoo and deep condition last weekend with it and afterwards I blowdried and flat ironed her hair (she's natural) she had so much body and softness to her hair!

sabino moisture block

 

[LivingDoll]

Ok, here I go with my lil offbrand stuff...I use VO5 Extreme Style Heat Defense Conditioning Spray...it's a spray not a serum.

It also helps that I got it on sale for $1.99!

 

[SoCalli]

H2 Ion - actually repairs hair when used with heat
Chi Silk Infusion

I remember trying Hot Sauce and not liking it. I think I thought it was too greasy and made my hair weighed down. I might give it a try again.

 

[nycutiepie]

sabino moisture block

EXACTLY!!!

 

[Superfly Sister]

Redken Heat Glide. I love it!

 

[Faith]

I love the Fantasia IC. I like it better than the CHI alone. Girl, try mixing them! I put a little of the Chi in my hand with the Fantasia IC. It helps the CHI last longer and the effects are

I will have to try this. I like the CHI but I found it created a lot of smoke. I'll get som IC and mix the two.

I saw this stuff on sale today for $2.00. Have you ever used the Chi or Fhi stuff? Or what about the Fantasia IC Serum? If so, how would you compare it?

Overall, what were your experiences with the VO5, meaning what did it do for your hair? How often do you use it? Do you use it on wet or dry hair?

TIA

I vote Fantasia IC Heat Protect *pink bottle*

 

[chavascandy]

Fantasia IC Heat Protectant

 

[Covergirl5906]

I have been using Chi Silk Infusions, but not sure if I really like it...I notice that you have to be really light handed with it or it will weigh your hair down and not even make your hair straight all the way when flat ironing....

Today I picked up the silk elements heat protectant spray from Sally's...I am trying to see if I prefer sprays over serums...It was between that and the ION spray.....I will see how I like this one...

 

[jndurieux]

I use silk elements...mega silk heat protectant , it is really light and your hair does not feel weighed down. I use when I blowdry or when i use rollerset. I love it and I would highly recommend it.

 

[shtow]

Fantasia IC in the blue bottle. NOTHING LIKE IT!!!!

 

[CandacyEliz]

I tried some of my friend's FHI Hot Sauce - and it gave me such a professional finish. I'll have to order some

I normally use CHI Silk Fusion

 

[LyndseyJK]

When I blow dry I combine Mizani Therma Strength Strengthening Style Serum and Smooth 'N Shine Polishing Straight Out. Then I flat iron using Smooth 'N Shine Polishing Silk 'n Sleek Styling Heat Protect Straightening Polish. I've been using this combo for about 3 years and I'm very happy with it. I've tried Fantasia IC and it did noting for me. I also tried Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum and it made my hair look greasy.

 

[Austro-Afrikana]

Keracare silken seal. Simple smoothness and only two ingredients

 

[nicey]

Keracare silken seal. Simple smoothness and only two ingredients

Hmmm...2 ingredients? I will have to look for this product. Thanks.

 

[STLCoverGirl]

I think I voted before, but my new favorite is FHI Hotsauce...love it!

 

[darlingdiva]

Since I rediscovered flat ironing my hair, I've been using this, VO5 Miracle Mist Heat Defense Spray.

However, my inner pj is wondering if I need something else... :scratchch

How does this work for you? I have this and the Fantasia IC. I'm thinking of trying the V05 first because it seems light and lighter products seem to work better for my hair.
