Hair sticks together when using Thermal protectant products?

[chica_canella]

Hi everyone. Maybe someone understands what is happening but my hair strands seem to stick together when I use thermal protectant products. I washed my hair with an actuall shampoo, rinsed, dried and applied Thermasilk conditioner then air blow dryed. I use the curler on a very low setting to straighten my bang and it was straight like I wanted, but it lacked that "run your fingers through your hair" feeling. Or swingability.

Any one know of a thermal protectant that won't do this?

Did you rinse the thermasilk? I don't think it is good as a leave in.

From reading your post, it sounds like you didn't rinse out the conditioner. If you didn't, that may be the reason why your hair is sticking together.

No, I didn't rinse it out because I really wanted to protect my hair. Even when I rinse it out it still feels like this.

But do the regular thermal protectant sprays do this?

When was the last time you clarified? You may need to use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of build up.

I don't use spray protectants because the ones I have tried had alcohol. When I have used direct heat I've used Paul Mitchell skinny serum or Fantasia's serum or Dove's cream protectant. All of which you only use a tiny bit and your hair comes out fine. I don't use direct heat much anymore, so others may have better advice.
