HeatBounce Conditioning Heat Protectant - Balsamo Termoprotettore

Wanted to love it but did not work for me

Context: Thick, coarse, wavy 2B hair (Indian) and I use the K18 shampoos, conditioner, mask, and oil as my go-to hair products. I use the Dyson Airwrap to style my hair with most washes (1-2x a week). I had high hopes and really wanted to love this product because I've been a big fan of every other K18 product I've tried. This product somehow managed to make my roots feel so heavy, greasy and sticky while also making the ends of my hair dry, dull, and frizzy. It looked so bad. I gave it 4 tries with different hair washing methods to see if there was user error, or if there were better methods/variations but it just didn't work for me. I'd hoped it would work seamlessly since I use the K18 shampoo and conditioner anyway. I'm back to using the Bumble & Bumble Invisible Oil Heat Protectant, K18 oil, with the Kerastase elixir to finish, and my hair is back to its shiny, smooth, and frizz-free look. I also couldn't find any non-sponsored reviews when I purchased this so that should've been a clue that it doesn't work that well.

No matter how little I used it made my hair greasy and weighed down. My hair is thick and 3c and it made my hair look like I hadn’t washed it for weeks. Just so nasty-I’ll be returning

Didnt love it

I tried to love it but it left a film on my hair almost making it feel sticky or like a greasy feeling:/

AMAZING this is not only a heat protector but a detangles and reparative conditioner! Really super a must have for me.

Not really worth it

This product did make my type 4 hair soft, but it didn’t make my hair more straight considering that I turned up the heat on my straightener to the highest setting compared to my Redken Gloss Heat Protectant that made my hair more straight from a blow dryer and less heat.

Good but has a bad odour.

It is good it makes my hair feel soft after I straighten it. I am giving it 3 stars because it smells like bum. When I spray it on my hair it has a foul smell. But after I do my hair the smell goes away.

Nope

I’m so confused by the reviews for this product. I tested this out for 2 weeks and every time I used it my hair felt dry and crunchy. It felt like I sprayed hairspray instead of a conditioner. I’ve enjoyed all the other K18 products I’ve tried but unfortunately this one is a dud.

Mitigé

Très bon soin protecteur mais vu le prix j'hésite à le racheter. J'en ai d'autres moins cher aussi bon.

Must have.

I love it, it makes my hair moisturized and also a bit thick as I have thin hair. I overall love it and wish it never gets discontinued.

Not for all hair types

My Stylist used this product line when coloring my hair, so I figured I'd try to use this in between my appointment, however this product left "MY" hair dry looking after I curled it.

I used this on already dry hair, so I can't say how it would be if I sprayed it on damp hair. I used a round brush blow dryer and it came out shiny and smooth. I also love the smell and could still smell it later in the day.

So good! Leaves my curly oily hair super shiny sleek and soft after a blow dry and silk press I apply it after shampoo and conditioner while my hair is towel dried and damp I love this!
