review: Heat Protection

soo... i recntly bought a flat iron the one from Conair i recently ranted about here.

it's oookaaaay i guess. i dunno. i'm not the best judge b/c:

1.) it's my first flat iron.
2.) i can't make myself use the highest heat setting (140F) even though it's relatively low for a flat iron b/c i'm scared it's gonna damage my hair (most go up to 400F!!)
3.) i can't really tell if my hair is damaged or not. i'm really not the best judge.


but, i got the Got2B heat protectant spray from Walgreens (it was on sale! BOGO FREE, so i couldn't resist!) (*gasp! it's cheaper on amazon!! it was for $6.50 @ walgreens!! normal price)

but i don't know if that's the best out there, so i looked online @ BUZZILLIONS (i LOVE that place now that i've found it!! it has the MOST REVIEWS you can find ANYWHERE)

here is what i found:





the Nexxus Heat Protexx Styling Spray got a 4.7/5 (18 reviews)

$18 @ walgreens. ouch! i'mma go see if there's a coupon on nexxus.com. that is

**i KNOW that all the items above DO test on animals, and i'm sorry, but i feel, personally as a consumer, that 99.99% of all the major label products out there test on animals. but that doesn't get me down. i will start adding this list of companies that DO test on animals as a tribute, and to raise awareness. the list is in alphabetical order, and doesn't include all the companies that test on animals. CARING CONSUMER has provided the full list, from which i chose labels i knew, and i hope that you also know. for a full list, please go here. ***
