CHI44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray, Nourishing Formula Helps Resist Heat Damage to Hair & Tame Frizz, Clear, 8 Oz

A must-have before using any hot tools! It protects my hair from heat damage and adds a bit of shine. Lightweight and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. Also leaves my hair smelling fresh. Great quality product, and easy to apply.

I am 50+ years old with ethnically mixed hair. I use this ChI 44, almost exclusively on my bang. No matter how else I am wearing my hair, I am always stuck with the bang my brother "helped" me cut, when I was 5 years old.And with my hair texture, frizz, just frizz. It used to just either be puffy BIG BANG frizzy, or tight and drawn up frizz. SO, now that I found this, if I go out of the house I use it. It protects my hair from the heat & definitely helps it, to straighten in one flat iron pass . I have also, since I began using this about 6-7 years ago, been able to turn way down both my flat iron, and curling wand temperature.I spray some on my bang, comb through, hit it with some heat to detangle; then after it is straight i put a bit more CHI 44, in my hands(this is why the pump was helpful) & lightly apply to my bang. I pull my wand or flat iron through again, this time I curl it under, like a Bob, and I then turn it under; and immediately unplug the device, hold it curled, for however long my arthritic shoulder will let me, then toss it into a large open roller. Lastly, if possible, and as quickly as I can I blast it with cool air (usually the car A/C because I am usually doing this on the way to the doctors, or wherever I am going). Then I leave the curler in till I get where I am going, but 10 minutes usually does the trick.Even as i am typing this, i can't believe after all these years of hair struggles, I have what can be called a system or a routine. I have medical limitations, so I don't do my hair to leave the house every day. So, routing doesn't quite fit.This works better than anything ever has. When I am able to do steps using the CHI 44 guard, heat, and a curler, my bang drops from the curler & it is "fresh blowout bouncy".I am also sure it helps fight humidity etc. So, I am giving it 5 stars. With me health, and medications, I am always hot and humid and eventually my hair does frizz.But with age, I have come to realize, that for me, I care far more about my appearance upon my entrance then my departure. I do not think people pay as much attention to my flaws, as I worry about. And if they do, it's probably within the first few minutes of seeing me. So having a good bang entrance has really pleased me. Now I like i can throw the rest of the birds nest I call hair into a ponytail and get to enjoying a day out of the house.Lastly the smell, i am very sensitive to smells. This smells like "heat protection" it has the smell a good thermal protection shampoo or conditioner has. Not pleasant, but not sickening. Also, it does not linger. If it stayed I would not recommend it, but it fades quickly. My husband however did comment a few times in the closed car. I usually spray it before I leave the house, then heat straighten it, in the car etc.So, it is when I go to spray the tiny bit on my hands, before curling it under, that it bothers him. That is why I got a pump to try. It seems to work as well as the aerosol version, with the added benefit, that one quick pump into my hand doesn't fill the car with the scent the way aerosolizing it does/.I like having both pump and can. Recently, I started using a few spritzes from the hairline back a few inches into my pulled back hair. I hadn't tried this, in all the years since i found it, because i have neck problems, I am hesitant to use any kind of holding products for fear of having difficulty washing them out. This has not been a problem, leaves no flaking residue behind. And it does keep my ponytail neat.The can is quicker for this, but the pump works the same.I have used the iron guard with assistance, to help when straightening my whole head after shampoo. It was great. But, I have not tried this with the pump. I will update if I do.This product has helped me so much, I will keep eye out for any questions about it, that i can answer. Good luck if you are trying it for the first time.

It smells good. Spray effectiveness . It’s small bottle

This heat protection work extremely wellll.It’s very easy to work with. It doesn’t have any weird smell. And most importantly it’s very effective. I 100% recommend this heat protection spray because it’s definitely getting the job done.

Works fine. Smells nice. I do suggest using it when stiffness is needed for a hair style bc it does tend to make your hair feel more stiff.

I have tried countless heat protectors over my lifetime and none have beat this one. I have tried others and they can’t compete with this one. Easy to spray on and brush through your hair. It will take a few seconds to dry and is very sticky to the touch, but makes my hair feel better after styling in a way that no other product does. I don’t get a bunch of buildup on my styling tools, nor on my hair. I heat style my hair on a semi-regular basis and have limited damage from it. My stylist told me that I was doing a good job taking care of my hair and this is part of the reason why. It does burn my nose hairs a bit when I spray it but I just turn on the fan and I have no issues once it dries.

If you're using heat tools regularly, a good thermal protection spray is like a bodyguard for your hair — and this one delivers! After putting it to the test with flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers, I’m impressed by how well it shields strands while keeping hair touchable and vibrant.✅ What stands out:- Heat Defense: Offers reliable protection up to high temperatures (usually around 450°F), helping prevent split ends and dryness.- Lightweight Formula: Doesn’t weigh hair down or leave a sticky residue — perfect for layering with other styling products.- Smoothing Power: Adds a subtle gloss and smoothness, making styling easier and enhancing overall finish.- Pleasant Scent: Clean and subtle fragrance that doesn’t compete with your perfume
