Hmmm, I purchased Pantene's Heat Protectant spray and used it this weekend when I straightened my hair. But how do you know it really worked? Well, my hair was silky and shiny and didn't dry out. So, I guess that's the test unless anyone can think of something else!
I just purchased Mizani's ThermaStrength after reading about it in CurlyBun's journal. I haven't tried it yet though. It's on a discontinue sale at the local Penny's here
I just tried Ion Anti-Frizz Straight Heat Protection from Sally's past weekend. I liked it. I don't have the bottle with me or I'd post the ingredients, but I know it has Vit A and E. It caught my eye on the shelf because it had a picture of a little flatiron on it.
Oh but get this. It was on sale for $4.99 on Saturday. But that's for the bottle labeled Heat Protection. When I went to the front to check out, I looked over at the Ion display - where they have the Ion flatirons, hair dryers etc, and they had more bottles, but these were labled "Thermal Protection", weren't on sale and were priced $6.99. So I figure that Sally's or Ion (or whoever) is phasing out the Heat Protection bottles in favor of the newly named Thermal Protection - even though its the same product. I compared the ingredients.
Sorry for the ramble. Suffice it to say that I loved the way my hair turned out after I flatironed. Nice and soft and shiny and smooth.
I haven't used it for this purpose yet, but the Miracle Repair Treatment by Got2Be Smooth describes its use for pre-straightening/heat protection....I won't be straightening until Christmas though, but this may be another alternative even though "heat protectant" isn't on the front of the bottle...

I use it on both wet and dry, and the bottle says it can be used this way. It gives my hair more sheen when I apply to dry hair prior to flat ironing. HTH...

So do I. My last trim was August 7 and my ends still look pretty even. I flatirion my hair once a week and use this. Here are the ingredients:
Water/Aqua, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethicone, Laureth-23, Phenoxyethanol, Polyacrylamide, Fragrance/Parfum, Xylose, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Methylparaben, Laureth-4, PPG-5 Ceteth-20, Oleth-10, Disodium Cocamphodipropionate, Laureth-7, Lecithin, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Phosphoric Acid, Sodium Citrate, 2-oleamido-1,3-octadecanediol, Xylose, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Ethylparaben, Arginine HCl, Taurine (D1940/3)
Are you looking to straighten you hair w/it or curl? To hold a curl and protect against heat I use Redken's Spray Starch. It's very good and contains potato starch in addition to other ingredients to protect your hair while styling.
Like I said- I use it to curl, but it can be used for any heat styling. HTH
I love Mizani ThermaStrength (strengthening style serum). It has the following ingredients: Glucosamine HCl, 2-Oleamido-1.3 Octodecanediol, Shea butter, Dimethicone Behentrimonium Chloride & Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride. Here's a link: http://www.mssny.com/miz475_6_intro.htm
