Desert Essence Coconut Hair Defrizzer & Heat Protector 8 fl oz - Gluten Free, Vegan, Cruelty Free - Coconut Oil & Jojoba Seed Extract - Protects Hair from Heat & Styling Damage

I have been looking for a product to put on dry hair to keep frizz down, and up until this point, I have not been able to find anything that really worked without weighing it down or looking oily. But, Desert Essence does a fantastic job! It's lightweight, doesn't look oily and keeps frizz at a minimum. It has a soft pleasing scent as well. I would recommend this product.

Loving the results

I have oily, limp, fine hair with little natural shine. My skin is extremely sensitive to irritants, mostly man-made chemicals. I actually found this after I has a severe negative reaction to another product (think, steroids to get rid of the rash), and I've had no problem using it for the past 4 months. I spray this on the ends after a shower, then run my hands through my hair to distribute it. Usually, this and a volumizing root spray are all I need, no heat required. Disclaimer: my hair is already really straight. My hair has way less flyaways, a little more shine and it becomes very soft looking and feeling. I am not using heat on my hair regularly because I am trying to grow it out, but when I do this works fine. Please note that, while this product does not have a lot of the harsh irritants I have to avoid, it is made of natural ingredients, so beware of food allergies. Always read your ingredients.

Ingredients:I’ve been looking for a new heat protectant product that contained natural ingredients. Most heat protecting products contain cancer causing chemicals (carcinogens), ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate or parfum (fragrances) where the ingredients are not made available to the consumer, which means the product could contain harmful chemicals. Desert Essence doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals, and they certify that their frangrances are safe to the consumer. I have included pictures of the ingredients.Performance:I used this product to straighten my hair today, and was satisfied with the end result. For reference I have thick, course, naturally wavy hair, and live in Texas (so hot & humid). While the scent is a bit overwhelming when initially sprayed on my hair, after straightening, I felt the strong coconut aroma dissipated. While I don’t think the product made my hair feel softer, I do think it was less frizzy, and it gave my hair a nice shine. Long term wise I’m not sure how well this product would protect my hair from heat styling products, while I didn’t notice any new breakage after straightening, my ends felt dry. Realistically I will be using this product in combination with a hair serum in the future, so hopefully the combination will help protect my hair. The pictures included are the originals, and have not been enhanced.Conclusion:Overall I would highly recommend this product. While i have used heat protectants that leave the hair softer, and offer better protection, I feel the potential healthy risks associated with the chemicals used is not worth the end result. This product provides good results, using natural, safe, ingredients.

This is the best product for dry or frizzy hair. Does not leave any oily residue. The sprayer is easy to push. Has a very pleasant coconut smell. Leaves hair soft and manageable. Works right away. My hair was breaking off at the roots before using this hair defrizzer and heat protection. It took about 20 days to show some results for me. No more brittle hair due to using this product. I used this Defrizzing spray in combination with "Desert Essence Coconut Shine & Refine Hair Lotion". Works better than some more expensive products. Great value. I would give it higher than a 5-star if I could.

i havent noticed a big difference using this

I only use like 3-4 sprays in my wet hair and when I wake up in the morning my hair is super soft and shiny. I also only use it on the length so it doesn't make my roots oily. I think it smells pretty good - like coconuts and natural oils. The scent doesn't really last on my hair though. I also like that this protects against heat damage. I straighten my hair 5/7 days per week, so this is huge for me. It's also vegan which is a must. Overall I really like it!

the only thing this product has going for it, is that Desert Essence is a good company, it is organic and cruelty free.however, as a hair product it sucks. I am better off having nothing in my hair than this spray. I tried it 3 times: on wet, freshly washed hair with blow dryer, on air-dried hair with straightening iron, and on dry unwashed hair with straightening iron. in ALL of these cases, the product made my hair STICKY, causing additional tangles, it didn't help with frizz and left my hair feeling like straw. of ...and it has a terrible smell too. I am truly disappointed with the product, and disappointed with the seller for not allowing me to return it. boo
