Thermal Spray Low Hold

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was selected by BzzAgent and Redken to receive a free sample of the Redken Low Hold thermal spray in exchange for my honest opinion. I have thin and fine hair and it is super important for me to use a thermal heat protectant spray to keep my hair from becoming damaged from using a flat iron daily on my hair. This heat protectant spray protects your hair up to 450 degrees and gives your hair a little added styling aid by offering a low hold agent in the formula. I did not give this five stars because the spray nozzle kept getting clogged easily. Although it was easy to unclog, it was frustrating to have to continue to do so while using it. The product smells amazing and it sprays a very light mist which is amazing for people with thin hair. The product worked great to protect my hair and my hair looked very healthy and natural when using the spray. I love that the formula was so light on my hair and did not weigh it down. Overall, this was a great product and I would definitely buy and use this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Redken protection. I wash my hair at n night to save time and morning. I apply the heat protectant before I blow dry or blow dry my hair and it's just so soft and it tamed the flyaways and gives great protection for heat. I wake up the next morning and don't have to do anything to my hair. Great protection with our being greasy or sticky like others product I have tried

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sooo I love the way it smells, nothing like hairspray. So that's always a plus. I live in the south so we have humidity and I can say this hairspray did calm the frizz a lot. Also I loved that I can spray my hair and style it down and it actually stays styled. I recommend this hair spray to anyone wanting help with keeping your style without having your hair stiff

This NOT a replacement for Spray starch. It’s NOT EVEN CLOSE to their Spray Starch. Iron shape says it’s light hold...so maybe if you have easy to style hair that easily holds already or frizz free hair...but Spray Starch was extreme hold. My frizzy hair doesn’t respond well to this, it’s better than using no product, and it look ok right after styling, but soon after my hair does not look very good. THE HOLD DOESN'T LAST. With Spray Starch, my curls or waves would last FOR DAYS, with no frizz. Even in humidity. With this it barely lasts until I get out of the bathroom door. Plus it doesn’t smell nearly as good as Spray Starch. So if you are looking for a Spray Starch replacement look elsewhere.

I have been using Redken products for years and was so happy I finally found a line of products that work well for my hair and keeps it healthy. At some point over the Summer 2017, Redken changed the formula for the Iron Shape 11, and I am SO DISAPPOINTED! Not only is the fragrance too strong and floral (a personal dislike), but the feel of the product has totally changed. It is now a white, milky substance, where the old formula was clear and glossy. Once on my dry hair (before I straighten it), the product gets very heavy and almost greasy. I now have to find a completely different line of products to use on my hair, all because this once perfect thermal protecting spray has changed for the worse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this spray because it can be used in wet or dry hair. It gives a lovely shine and light hold when used before blow drying. When you use it on dry hair before curling, your hair comes out very shiny and with way less frizz. It's not hard and crusty like a hard hold hair spray. The only thing is that if you over use it and spray a ton on your hair, it may get kind of a gross greasy/dirty feel to it. I found that I like it best if I spray it in my hand, rub my hands together and disperse it in my hair that way. I end up using way less product that way and don't over use it.

I have fine, thin color-treated hair and have been using IronShape 11 for a little over six months. Up until recently it was GREAT for my hair. In addition to heat protection, it gave my hair some volume/control without weighing it down. When I went to re-purchase a few weeks ago, I found that they had reformulated and the new version is TERRIBLE for my hair type. It weighs it down and almost makes it feel dirty. I was able to return it to the store and find a few bottles of the old stuff, but as soon as I run out, I'll be looking for a new product. (NOTE: if you're looking for the old formula, it had a MUCH SHORTER ingredient list and was $2 cheaper. There must be a few bottles still out there somewhere!)
