The Saturday Cosmetics Review - The best heat defence I have ever used?

Good evening everyone I hope  you have all had an amazing weekend,today I am going to be reviewing what is most probably the best heat defence I have ever used. I have curly, dyed, fragile hair and so protecting my hair is a major must when it comes to heat styling.
And the winner of current best heat defence goes to...

Photographs taken myself.
Yes, the coveted heat protector is 'Studio Silk & Gloss Hot Straight Spray' by L'Oreal Paris. It is my favourite and most effective heat defence, I have tested a number of defences in my day and so I think I am completely qualified to give my opinion!


The packaging is pretty standard, nice and pink, I do love how the bottle is slightly transparent which is perfect because I can see how much product is left - EXCELLENT!

The size of the bottle and the easiness of the spray bottle.

The spray bottle.
The solution is dispensed as a mist which is unusual because it comes out almost as a frooffy foam, a mist of silky bubbliness, it's hard to describe - it's not like any other heat defence. 

The product in just dispensed onto my hair.
 I like to smother my hair with defence spray, so it's almost dripping - maximum protection...
Product dried into the hair.
As you can see the product dries really nicely, this was after about 5 minutes, completely dry - much faster than any other defence I've tried.

I have used my GHD hair straighteners - not a single split end.

I have used my Toni and Guy jumbo curlers on my protected hair, only spotted one or two splits.

Packaging - 5/5 - You can see how much product you've used.
Product - 4.95/5 - Unique and usable, works very well even with curlers.
Dry time? - 4/5 - Up to 5-15 minutes depending on how drenched it is!!
Overall happiness - 5/5. My favorite heat protector so far :-).
SO overall this product is a misty magical wonder which protects your hair perfectly, the packaging is very efficient and the product dries quickly and effectively  And for a tiny weeny £3.55 ( and even cheaper on offer!;-) ) I cannot rave about this product any more, 5/5!:)  Buy this product...
Thanks for reading and I will see you all very soon! Love Annie :-) xx

What heat defence do you use?
