Putting Heat Protectants to the Test: Do They Really Protect Your Hair? 🤔 | Natural Hair

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

We've been told for years that the main way to prevent heat damage is to protect our hair with heat protectants, but are these heat protectants really protecting our natural hair? In today's video, we're going to explore whether heat protectants do what they say they do. Join me as I test various heat-protectant products to see if they live up to their promises and actually protect our hair. Share your own experiences and tips for protecting your hair during heat styling in the comments below. Stay inspired, xox MD

    I'm a straight natural (no flat iron, just blow dry only), so I love Kenra leave-in which works beautifully. I wash my hair every 2-3 weeks, and my curls come back lovely each time! 🥰

    Another test is the Q-tip test. You did the Q-tip in the heat protectant and light the tip on fire. If it burns badly, the heat protectant does not work. If it does not burn or barely burns, then it works.

    Noooo…. Not Tressame!! Seriously like no protection at all? I have like 4 bottles of it because a Walmart near me is closing so I bought 4 bottles… so disappointed. Thanks for the video and the enlightenment!

    How is testing on paper same as what you’d expect on hair. The composition of both is totally different

    It’s about the protectant’s coating ability of something as fragile as paper. Paper is flammable so if the heat protectant can help it from burning that’s notable enough. It’s an on alternative to burning real hair

    Did u let it dry? I can’t tell if u did but if it’s still wet it’s going to burn, heat prot has to dry first before styling

    It is possible that there was residual product on the flat iron each time you tested a receipt? So the 3rd or 4th try will seem like it is protected more when it’s just more and more product.

    I really like color wow and it’s a 10 bc they are intended to fully wet the hair and not weigh it down. It’s heard good things about the L’Oréal one which is also ok to fully saturate the hair.

    I think its the products being used for our hair texture. Try more of the black owned brand products that make these products for our hair like mielle, shea moisture, mane choice, kaleidoscope, etc. Mielle works great

    maybe use regular paper towel or a cotton towel next time because the die (ink) will lie. My grandmother tested the pressing comb on a paper towel before doing my hair. Also the heat protector is absorbed into the cuticle and air or blow dried depending on product. ..that does not mean we can overload our hair with heat and ladies use our God given common sense and keep our hair safe. I do not recommend spraying a heat protector on your hair that is water based and then flat iron your hair right away. Please make sure the product dries first. There are non water based heat protectors that may be different but I recommend a low heat blow dry or air so hair can absorb any heat protection.

    Can u test it on plain paper? Because receipts have ink on it and when you press something there it will turn black because of the ink.

  • @kateotokhs

    The receipts are not turning black because of the ink but because they are thermal papers which react to heat.

    I see thanks. Then it will still be better to test it on normal paper? Since thermal paper reacts fast to heat. Just my opinion, for the next experiment so there is comparison 😂

    I need you to know that she used thermal paper a special paper used for this kind of testing not regular paper you may want to repeat this with thermal paper to get an accurate representation of each product's performance ❤❤

    Mine was thermal paper too babe. The majority if not all receipts are printed on thermal paper. You can easily test it and I made sure all of the my receipts fell under that category. Thanks for checking tho ❤️
