I was paying for a spray bottle at Sally's when my cashier (a Latina)who usually sees me with straight hair complimented my curly hair. We got into a conversation about curly hair because I commented that I liked hers when it's curly too 
. Next to me is a chubby white gay man with a nose ring, I didn't know he was gay until he butted in and started discussing hair, very technically too. He warned me never to relax over a relaxer ( duh?) because it destroys the cysteine bonds (blah, blah blah, im on lhcf dude 
lol).
He seemed rather condescending all the while. He suggested I use that Sally's heat protectant in the orange clear bottle ( he had it in his bag). I know it's very heavy stuff. He said to spray A LOT of it!
Years ago , I used to spray tons of heat protectant prior to flat ironing and my hair looked disgusting. I didn't mention that though.
I told the other cashier (white girl) I use Chi Silk Infusion and she said it's not a heat protectant and to use Ch Iron Guard. I used that years ago and it made my hair sticky. I didn't insist but I still think Chi Infusion acts as a heat protectant.
Then the gay hairdresser suggested none other than... PINK LOTION. He said to spray that on and flat iron. I think I couldn't hide my disapproval lol. He then began to talk about lcoking out humidity and he explained that if the hair is well moisturized it wont become frizzy from humidity. I agreed and said it was because the cuticle will be closed ( moisturized hair has a flat, sealed cuticle and that keeps humidity out right or is there another reason?)
The look on his face when I said that was not one of pleasure. It was as if I'd self diagnosed and told a doctor what I thought I had (ive learned that doctors don't care for that lol). It was like he was appalled that I even knew what a cuticle was in hair terms. He disagreed with me He also named other parts of the hair structure, I know he said cortex like he was name dropping LMAO.
Gay men are so b*tchy sometimes
and how dare he suggest Pink Lotion

I think it just depends on you and your hair.
