LOreal Paris Pre Iron Protection Straightened Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "This is a must have product in your bathroom if you are using any heat products on your hair."
• "The spray worked wonderfully and protected my hair making it easier to style afterwards."
• "It's so much smoother, less frizzy, and even looks shiny."
• "This product may be cheap, but it packs a punch against heat."
• "This product controls frizz but doesn't make my hair look oily."
• "This product worked miracles on my hair immediately. I washed and styled it four days ago and still just gently run a brush through it and it falls right into place."
• "I love this spray. My hair is soft and dries so straight when I use this. I could get away without using a flat iron."

Cons:

• "The spray is sticky so that when you use a hot tool on it, you cannot slide this tool on your hair."
• "I tried this spray thinking that it would protect it from the heat.. and maybe it did but unfortunately whatever chemicals are in this, it made my hair drier and unhealthy."
• "It left my hair feeling dry, unmanageable, brittle and zero shine to it."
• "To the garbage can it went because it costs a lot more to get my hair back to its normal silky smooth texture than to replace this with a much better product."
• "The product was sticky and made my hair feel crunchy."
• "It turned my hair a different color when the heat from the straightener hit my hair as I was straightening it."
• "It didn't really seem to provide any protection from my straightening iron, and it didn't keep any frizz from forming."

Scent

Pros:

• "Smells nice, goes on somewhat thick though, I would have preferred more of a mist."
• "It smells really good, and my hair looks smooth and is REALLY soft and has a nice shine."
• "The scent is light and becomes even lighter after product dries."
• "The scent is pleasant and your hair has less frizz after using it."
• "Light scent so not conflicting with other scents or perfume, when ironed it turns hair to a smooth texture, and a bit of shine."
• "This product smells amazing! It leaves my hair feeling soft after using heat on it, whether it’s a curler or a wand."
• "It smells amazing. After using it smells like I walked out of a salon."

Cons:

• "Smelled good (but not as great as other reviews said I just thought it was ok) but would not recommend. Any overspray that falls to the floor causes a scary slippery patch that lasts for weeks."
• "The fragrance made my scalp itchy. It made my hair look dull. I put this only on my bangs so only my bangs looked mattified. Would not recommend."
• "I’m not a huge fan of the scent. It does linger a bit afterwards."
• "Also feel like the scent is too strong. Would not buy again."
• "This however, has a strong smell of sunscreen. Not very flattering."
• "The scent is overpowering. It leaves your hair smelling like you’ve just been clubbing."
• "it smells like toast with butter on it and the sent is hard to cover they should of put something in it to smell better because it smells very bad."

Texture and Application

Pros:

• "The spray is light and almost has a leave-in conditioner type formula that didn’t weigh down her hair."
• "This product is for protection from heat but it is a great conditioner too."
• "The spray is a fine mist and it smooths the cuticle of the hair without build up or visible residue."
• "It was lightweight and did what it was supposed to."
• "It's a great detangler too. Easy to apply even for 11yo girls."
• "Not sticky like hair spray at all. But it holds my curl great."
• "This stuff is amazing! It smells so good and my hair feels so soft!"

Cons:

• "It does feel slightly sticky on my hair."
• "It goes on wet which is Ok since I’m blow drying. But I can’t say it did anything."
• "Instructions say to apply while hair is damp, then finish drying with a blow dryer. It seems this type of application doesn't provide much protection from the heat of a straightener."
• "This did everything it said it would. Frizz free, even on the third day."
• "I have a head full of fine hair. I wanted a product that I could spray before drying with my styling wand. This was not it. I lightly sprayed the product, combed it through and dried as usual. This left behind a sticky, greasy looking film on my hair."
• "This is just sticky oily spray that gas no other benefits. Use, if you want to have to wash your hair right after using it."
• "A little bit goes a long way. But even if you use a small amount, it will make your hair greasy if you are not careful."

Value and Packaging

Pros:

• "Affordable too."
• "Love the price point and packaging too."
• "It is much more affordable than others I have used."
• "Great price, better quality than many salon brands I have used."
• "This product is a great price for an average sized bottle."
• "Salon quality heat protectant for a fraction of the price."
• "For the price, this is one of the best heat protectors for hair on the market! I have thick, wavy hair, and it gets frizzy on the ends very easily—but not with this! I am amazed at how healthy and frizz-free my hair is!"

Cons:

• "I ordered this along with a 4 in 1 hot air brush (that I absolutely love) and another L'Oréal heat protector, so I was supposed to have 3 items in my shipment but only received two! Very disappointed that I didn’t get this!"
• "The pump on the bottle does not work. The liquid just kept leaking from the top. When I tried to return the item and get a replacement I was notified that the item was non returnable."
• "The only downfalls are that A trigger spray would be easier for application and That it came in a bigger bottle."
• "I guess the bottle leaked (a lot lol) in transit. It froze too since it was cold last night. A lot of the product is gone, which I'm really sad about."
• "I feel like this product was watered down, it seemed like water, no scent, or anything."
• "I guess for $6.97 you can't really beat it, but I would not buy this again."
• "Sadly I’ve wasted money when I could have save up and got Glass from L’ange."
