What’s the point in going straight if a) it’s hard to do, b) it’s hard to maintain, c) you’re left with sticky residue and d) you can’t justify the ouchie to your wallet? Sheesh.
Well, that’s one four-part life question I can answer with TRESemmé Heat Tamer, a protective spray that guards against heat-styling damage as it eases the straightening process. Yeah, baby, it’s a multi-tasker.
When I straighten my thick, wavy hair, I usually have to soak my hair, blot excess moisture away, apply straightening cream and anti-damage serum, do a basic blowdry with my super-hot blow dryer and a paddle brush, smooth with a round boar-bristle brush and the dryer, then finish with a few passes of a pro flatiron. Whew! But TRESemmé Heat Tamer spray cuts the first four steps to one: I can dampen my hair, add straightening product and protect from heat all in a generous misting. Post blowdry, for extra straight-styling help and heat protection, I can lightly spritz each section again just before I run it through the flatiron.
The result? All-day Katie Holmes sleekness that feels light and clean as though there isn’t a lick of product in it. As for the wallet ouchie, there isn’t one: 236 mL, $6.99.
I’ll be going straight more often.
TRESemmé Heat Tamer is available at drugstores and mass retailers.

I’ve used this product on my extremely curly and thick hair - it’s great. As an alternative, when I want more bounce to my curls, they have an curl enhancer that I apply before using my curling iron. It gives me great “Shirley Temple” curls and the hold is amazing. Again only $6.99 and a new look!

Thanks for the feedback, Yvonne! I haven’t tried the curl enhancer yet (the Curl Activator Spray, right?), but I’ve seen it in action and the results were impressive. Now I REALLY have to try it!

Such a timely topic! This morning, I fought the frizz and the frizz won. :(
I was looking for some new weapons to help me win the battle next time.
Thanks!
