HSI Professional Thermal Protector 450 is intended for use when using hot styling tools such as flat irons, curling irons, hot smoothing brushes and hairdryers. Hot styling tools can create beautiful, long-lasting hairstyles but they can wreck havoc with your hair. To date, I hadn’t found a thermal protector that I felt left my hair softer and was not too sticky, and was good for my hair. I was excited to try HSI Professional Thermal Protector because it contains several good-for-hair ingredients and is sulfate-free.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT HSI PROFESSIONAL THERMAL PROTECTOR 450?
HSI Professional Thermal Protector contains Argan Oil, which is associated with increased hair growth when used on the scalp and roots of the hair. It is also a conditioning agent for the body of the hair itself and provides a protective layer on the fragile, delicate ends of hair. While nothing can repair a split-end, Argan Oil can smooth the end and remove some of the brittleness. Paired with the Argan Oil is an infusion of Vitamins including a,b,c and d.
Vitamin A is useful to promote scalp health and aids in the absorption of the Argan Oil. Vitamin B applied to hair can result in increased thickness, strength, and makes hair more pliable. Vitamin C is a useful anti-oxidant, which on hair helps hair detox from environmental pollutants and serves to protect the hair. The topical application of Vitamin D is necessary for hair to prevent UV damage which can cause oxidation and fading, and in the case of colored hair, it can result in brassiness. Topical Vitamin D has also been found to decrease hair loss in lab studies.
USE: FEATURES OF HSI PROFESSIONAL THERMAL PROTECTOR 450
CONSISTENCY: The spray is very light, not sticky or oily. Thicker than water but not as thick as an oil or hairspray. When dry I could not feel the product in my hair; it was easy to brush and to run my fingers through it. As a test of this, I sprayed some on my hands, let it dry, it did not leave a sticky or flaky residue.
APPLICATION: I tried it on both wet and dry hair, not too much is needed to saturate hair enough for styling purposes. It does not excessively extend drying time, there was a slight “sizzle” when I used my hot brush and hot iron, the sizzle was the moisture, not my hair.
SCENT: There is a very light scent of Argan Oil; it dissipates quickly when sprayed onto the hair, and I could not detect any scent after the hot styling tools were used and my hair was dry again.
THE TEST: MOM’S HAIR
Mom’s hair has always been thick, curly, and wiry. She has tried all sorts of straightening products which can’t seem to keep the hair straight, and most thermal protectants don’t last the afternoon before her hair starts to curl again. Today, with the extra humidity, it was especially frizzy, and she just let it dry naturally with no styling product.
A few spritzes of the HSI Treatment before a quick brush through with a hot brush and her hair was left smooth and feeling very soft in under three minutes. In under five minutes, all of her hair was done and could be styled in a smooth flip-up or flip-under lob style. The style stayed in for two days!! A smooth and soft look with no frizz. Smooth, soft, no sticky feel and easy to run her fingers or brush through her hair. Her hair was left shiny, not dull from the product. She is also thrilled that a thermal protectant not only helps her tame her mane but protects and nourishes it. She plans on switching from her current thermal protectant to HSI Professional Thermal Protector.
CONCLUSION: HSI Professional Thermal Protector 450 is a leave-in styling treatment that not only protects hair from potentially damaging heat styling tools such as irons, curlers, and dryers but it encourages hair growth. HSI Professional Thermal Protective leaves hair feeling soft, shiny, smooth and thick. Impressively, it does with without the use of Sulfate based ingredients. The holding power of a hair styling agent without feeling sticky or gooey, I love being able to run my finger through my hair easily and to have hair that shines instead of having a dull residue from the protective agents.
