Toni & Guy Iron-it Heat Defence Spray Review

Toni&Guy Iron-It Heat Defence Spray

I am a big fan of curly and wavy hair. Think Julia Roberts. I can do anything to get hair like that.  Its definitely possible with a wig or something. But wigs creep me out big biggg time. Imagine wearing a gorgeous curly haired wig(totally inspired by Julia Roberts hair) to a wedding. And with all the sari and the jewellery and on top of everything this wig, I am sure to start feeling very very hot in a few short minutes. Then I would probably go stand in front of those gigantic fans. I love those fans btw( what a blast of air!!) and the wig goes flying off. That incident would probably top the long list of embarrassing incidents in my life. No thank you very much.

I tried very hard to get that gorgeous curly haired look. I tried to crunch up my wet hair..like they say in the magazines but it never works for meL. Do you have any suggestions to get celebrity like wavy/curly hair?

Anywoo I do what works for me best..try to straighten my unmanageable wavy hair. I LOVE!! the Philips straightening iron btw. It works very well and heats up very quickly. But I found that if I just straighten my hair without any kind of hair spray or something my hair gets wavy after a day. Also I straighten at least the front portion of my hair every time I wash my hair. The constant straightening was starting to dry my hair out. I spotted the Toni and Guy Heat Defense spray at Health and Glow a few months ago. I didn’t know any other such spray and decided to try it out.

Heres what I think about it.

Price? Approximately Rs 700 for 200ml

The Good?

It works really really good to give that salon straight hair look. I spritz  this heat defense spray on my hair section by section and then run the straightening iron over it. With just  one swipe I get super smooth and straight hair. The straightening effect last for atleast 2-3 days till the time I wash my hair. My hair doesn’t get dry and frizzy. And I have tried this in humid climates as well. It works just as well.

I use this regularly and this bottle will last me for a really long time.

The Not So Good?

I really wanted to love this product since it makes my hair so straight . The biggest drawback is that it makes my hair really greasy in a day. After 24 hours of using this hair spray I feel like desperately washing it off. Usually I like to give a break of 2 days between shampooing. But with this Ii have to wash my hair the very next day.

I absolutely hate the smell of this. This smells very chemically. And the worst part is that the smells lingers. So after this I like to put a nice smelling shine serum to take the smell off.

Makeup-Mantra Rating? 6/10

While I love that it does it works well, I really hate that it makes my hair greasy in a day. I don’t think I will repurchase this. I will try and search for a nice smelling one J. This works well for those one off party days when I don’t mind washing my hair the next day. This comes in a small 50ml can as well. If you are looking for a heat defense spray and  are unable to  find anything better I would suggest try the smaller size.
