Heat protectant?

Do you use a non-silicone heat protectant? Recommendations welcome!

SheaMoisture has a nonsilicone heat protectant in the Yucca and Plantain line. I found it too heavy for my fine hair, though.

My hair stylist recommends using the Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode as a heat protectant on dry hair (like if you're going to use heat tools to touch up your hair after it's dry).

Thanks Therese1 :hello2: I haven't liked any of the Shea Moisture products for the same reason you mention. Too heavy. I think I'll just try to avoid using my hair dryer with diffuser for too long or aimed at any one spot.

I just bought a low poo that has that coca- betaine (whatever) that is supposed to remove silicones but is sulfate free so maybe I'll give in once in a while and use a Tresseme heat tamer and hope the low poo removes the silicones. Groan - oh well, this should be my biggest problem in life!

I'm curious about Living Proof Restore Instant Protection, which is also silicone-free. My hair takes too long to air dry before work, so I'm reliant on my diffuser.

Hey La_Ninon, I'll be interested to hear how this works. I tried one of the Living Proof products a while back and it worked great - once! After that it dried out my hair something fierce. It was worse for me than using silicones and washing with a sulfate. If you get it, let us know what you think.
