@KammyGirl It's used to speed up blow drying time and can be used for flat ironing. There's reviews on YouTube.
Yeah it does speed up my blow drying time and my hair is smoother when I flat iron and the bottle says all that but does that mean it protects from the heat? I'll check out the reviews on YouTube. Thanks!
@flyygirlll2 I just read a post in another thread that @MileHighDiva tagged me in finally convincing me it's a heat protectant. I don't even know why I'm so paranoid when I don't really care about my curl pattern. Lol Just want to feel like I'm not using heat on naked hair. Thanks again!

@KammyGirl Great! 
I feel that since it does have cones in it, it will coat the hair anyway during heat application. I honestly don't use heat on my hair often because for me that would require patience that I don't have with all this hair. I only use it when I need to trim for the most part.
So don't mind me, I just like passing through threads lol.

I'm going to blow dry and flat iron my hair in the wee hours of the morning. Going to use the TMS to get it as straight as possible. It will be too hot to wear it straight, so I will use some flexi rods. I need a trim bad.

I have to use 400-415 degrees on my hair. My hair will laugh at 350.

I ordered mine from their website.I need to buy this product and keep it in my life lol! I've heard so much about it but have never tried it. Where can I find this? I'm in Florida with our wannabe tropical climate!
Got two little bottles and they're still both almost full after a year. I use it every time I use heat to set my hair - blow drying, curlformers under the dryer, etc.

Same here. I've tried to use lower temps and my hair is just NOT having it. It doesn't even get straight. I have loose curls but they are coarse.

I flat ironed/curled my hair... It's rainy now... I gotta figure out how to do pin curls correctly. I can do it on others, but not well on myself.

See! And you would think a looser pattern would straighten easier on a lower temperature but....NO. Not mine!
My hair is just weird. It doesn't hold twists, it doesn't stay straightened 
it just wants to be left alone. Lol!

Do you notice any heat damage with temps that high?
I almost always experience some heat damage when I flat iron.
I have stopped flat ironing now until I find a proper heat protectant and appropriate heat.
Plus I dare not try to straighten my hair in the summer. Won't last 2 minutes.

No heat damage. I have only experienced that at a salon. I used keracare leave in and I used Fantasia ic serum.

You said it was coarse, so that makes sense. My friend's hair is like that. Are u low porous?See! And you would think a looser pattern would straighten easier on a lower temperature but....NO. Not mine!

It rained yesterday and it's raining today. I showered with a plastic bag on my head. Curls still there, no reversion. I spray some oil sheen with a humidity blocker from Keracare. I'm going to get a rain bonnet today.

Speaking of Heat:
I used the Apalus Brush and only used it at 350 and my Hair looked badly blow dried.
When I use that brush again, I will have to crank up the heat a littler higher to get better results.
I'll also grab some Sabino too, to help with those efforts.

Do any of you guys experience better retention wearing hair predominantly straight? One of my coworkers has been natural for almost 3 yrs and has experienced excellent retention (shes bsl) but ive never seen her hair shrunken or in its natural curl pattern. Its always straight, braided or manipulated somehow.

I would think so. It prevents tangles, fairy knots, matting, hair can accept moisture better, etc...

It makes sense, but i thought hair grew better when left alone with little to no manipulation. Then again maybe that is only true for looser curl patterns.

Summer where are you?

Do you have to use direct heat to be a "straight haired natural"? I rollerset weekly and don't flat iron my roots or anything, but my hair is stretched and not in its natural curl pattern.
This year I've blow dried my hair once, and it gets straighter and smoother with roller sets.

Ms. T have you seen jewejewebee's tutorial on using a similar brush appliance? She used it on her sister's hair and it was already blow dried.

Summer where are you?
I've been wearing my hair in curly styles for a while. I'm over it and I miss my straight hair. Once summer is over I'll have to figure out a way to exercise and keep my hair straight.

I'm with you on that. I blow dried my hair in March and I looked... horrible.@toaster
No, I have not. I don't watch many YT Videos. But I will definitely take a look at it.
Thank You.
I was hoping to completely eliminate either blow-drying or flat ironing altogether.
I was hoping to use just one heat appliance.
My hair styling skills are awful. If you're skipping the blow drying I think you can turn the heat up a bit. I've noticed people on YouTube that use low flat iron temps spend a lot of time getting their hair straight when blow drying. So (in my mind) if you're only using one heat appliance, you can turn the heat up.
