CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray

This spray has become a must-have in my hair routine. I have fine, wavy hair that tends to get frizzy, and this makes a noticeable difference whenever I use heat tools. My hair feels protected, smoother, and much easier to manage after styling. It’s very lightweight, doesn’t weigh my hair down, and doesn’t leave any residue or greasy feeling. I also love that it helps control frizz while keeping my waves soft and natural. It’s easy to use, smells great, and truly helps keep my hair healthier when using heat. Highly recommend if you style your hair regularly.

This spray does a good job protecting my hair from heat while styling. It’s lightweight, doesn’t feel sticky, and helps reduce frizz without weighing my hair down. I like the smaller 2 oz size for travel or trying it out before committing to a bigger bottle. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering. Overall, it works well for daily heat styling.

I absolutely love the CHI 44 Iron Guard. I use it every time I flat iron or curl my hair, and it makes a noticeable difference in preventing damage. It's super lightweight and doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy or stiff, which is a huge plus. It also has a pleasant, subtle scent. Great product and excellent value for the 8-ounce bottle!

Got this product second time. It's working. It doesn't smell bad.

This heat protectant sprays evenly and doesn’t leave my hair feeling sticky or stiff. It’s lightweight and easy to distribute before using hot tools. After regular use, my hair looks smoother and feels less dry when styling. It also helps reduce frizz and adds a bit of shine. A reliable heat protectant that works well for everyday styling.

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.

Bought this while it was on sale and it’s become my new favorite thermal protectant. Has a very nice smell, protects well and the bottles lasts quite a while. Doesn’t make hair greasy while still adding a bit of shine, not too heavy of a spray and is easy to use.

I have been using it for a while and it is my first thermal protection hair spray yet. So far it has done its job, I believe there has been less breakage and hair loss during my hot air blowout after wash. However it could be that it is not bonding well with the hair oil I’m using because when I spray them in tandem my hair often gets sticky all together.

Me deja brilloso mi cabello, no lo apelmaza y lo proteje bien. Actualización 23/08/24 Me extraña que he pedido el producto varias veces aquí mismo y todo perfecto pero hace unos dias me llego el nuevo y no sé si lo reformularon o algo porque viene muy líquido tipo como si estuviera rebajado con agua, no tiene la misma consistencia ni olor y tampoco deja el mismo brillo, tendré que comprarlo en tienda para ver si es cosa de un lote o en general le disminuyeron la calidad.

I thought my package was lost but the seller was really sweet and helpful in helping me figure things out. The product is also good. Highly recommend:)

Other than the strong chemically smell of the product, it does a great job as a protectant. I always use it before a blow dry or an event under the sun. A small request to the brand to do something about the smell.

The size is too small!

Sehr gutes Hitzeschutz-Spray, bei dem die Frisur den ganzen Tag hält.
