Is this product used for shine or as a heat protectant? I'm a novice. Thanks

I use it to make my hair soft and shiny. But this is what it says on the can: "Also, silkens and polishes unruly texture when used with a ceramic flat iron or blow dryer". I love the smell too!

It is used for both! I love the shine and use regardless if whether I am using a flat iron or not!

I'd say it's mostly for shine, although I do use it before I use the flat iron. But be VERY careful how much you use. It will make your hair look greasy if you use too much. I forgot to use this once and found that my hair looked cleaner and blonder without the spray. So I'm definitely using too much.

I'm pretty sure it's main purpose is for heat protection. However whenever I use it, it does leave a shine to it as well. It's like a two in one. I use it everyday with my chi straightener and it works great!

I use it as a polish after my wax. I applied one coat of wax then I use this about 10 times then repeat. And I might add with absolutely outstanding results. A note: I used to use a damp cloth to remove the excess and to buff but went to a dry cloth and have had unbelievable results. I have nothing but great compliments about this product and it has restored my 95 Jeep with people just walking up and complimenting the finish. I know you have equal results.

You might try something that has a pump or aerosal used very sparingly at first. Paul Mitchell has one. I think it's called "Shine". I wouldn't use this on fine and/or thin hair. It's pretty heavy

No you cant use This product as a conditioner is made to protect from heat damage but is not as moisturizing as a conditioner

As a polish, it is intended to come off. It is not a wax or protectant. A good coat of wax should follow the polishing step you use this product for.

That's what I use it for. I spread it on cold. Then use my blowdrier on hot and a clean cloth to heat and buff it out. Looks great and isn't greasy.

Well i tend to use it on high. I use a flat iron spray to protect my hair from the heat. and that seems to help keep the damage to a minimal.

I Would not spray it on exhaust or anything that heats up. It's basiclly a semi soft robbery coating.

Yes, it is a bit greasy (shiny) initially. But, after about 15 minutes to a 1/2 hour, it seems to soak in and then the shine is not that noticeable. For me, having very sensitive skin, this product give awesome protection and is worth a little shine. If I am concerned about it, I dab a little face powder on after about 15 minutes and the shine is gone.

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.

I never put this product on my hair while wet. I only use it to shine my hair. I have pressed and flat ironed it while it was in my hair, but I did not have flakes. There is a solution that is in the same type of bottle but it is not the anti-breakage serum. I forgot what it was but I thought it was this product. When I saw it it was as lotion and dried like an awful dandruff. This serum is a clear thick oil that is not very greasy.

I used this product mainly to hydrate my overworked hair, but as far as shine goes I don't think it made much of a difference. I don't have any specific suggestions for best products for shine, but I think Pureology products are worth the money. Hope this helped at all!

Not personally. It's a product that should be safe for that application, however, as it is food grade. It has enough wax in it that it can be buffed out to a sheen, as well.

I don't know sorry. Probably though. It's the best product for the shine, hands down

I found that it does work as a heat protector when blow drying and flat ironing my hair but that's my hair. A little goes a long way so you shouldn't be heavy handed with the product but you should get the desired results when straightening your hair using this product.

This product is for use after you have detailed your car/truck Once you have washed your car and dried it with micro cloth or terry cloth Towls. Then you spray this product on a microfiber towl doing one section at a time. Them wiping it off with another microfiber cloth and the shine is beautiful. It is used between your detailing to enhance the shine and it works great. Wonderful product. Hope you like it

Yes you can, no matter what setting you use , always use a heat protecting spray, keratin in one of the best I have used. I have long curly hair and have been able to keep my hair shiney and damage free.
