Howdy peeps! :-hI’dlike to apologize for being MIA this month and to let you know I am still withy'all, not going anywhere, it's just that I’m just having a few technical issues, d’oh! #-o and due to this I am having trouble uploading any of my own images right nowGrr! :-L On the bright side though, I have beenbusy, busy, busy :-*because the gorgeous Tammerly from Spoilt, asked me to join hertrial team and write reviews for her super, fantastic, Ah-mazing blog, of which I have been a loyal supporter now for a numberof years.I am, naturally, stoked \:D/especially as she said I could also publish my work, here on my own blogas well, which I will then link to the original’s featured on her blogas soon as they become available.Anyway,without further ado, here is my take on the Goldwell Style Sign Sleek Perfection Thermal Spray Serum :)
I don’t straighten my hair religiously (well, lets face it, my hair is practically as straight as an arrowanyway, without even the slightest kink :p ), however,considering it’s also baby fine, the pesky frizzies are a constant cause forconcern. :-S So, rather than strutting my stuff in public, lookinglike a bit of a clown who's just put my finger in a electrical socket, you know, sporting unruly,static flyaways, :O)whenever I wear my medium length hair down, Ineed to rely on the support of a heated hair styler.Implementing a straightening iron guarantees asuper sleek, smooth, polished look and assures me it will stay looking that wayfor the entire duration of the day/night.#:-S
A hot iron alone though, doesn’t seem to cut it when I’m outto achieve perfectly slick, straight hair and my mane reverts back to itsformer state within hours of styling.:-O Not to mention, over time, direct heat alsodamages the general condition of my hair.#-o Enter thermal protectant! ;)I consider this styling accessary a ‘must-have’ for using in conjunction withmy straightener, helping to preserve the finished results for long lasting, well-groomedtresses.In my case, not just any thermalprotectant will do, as I prefer additional product features, like support forcoloured hair (yes, I’m a self-confessedhair dye junkie too, LOL!:)) )and the ability to resist humidity (residingin the exceptionally humid, tropical FNQ humidity reeks havoc on my hair ~X( ), bothimportant factors.As I discovered, usinga straightening iron without a thermal protectant is a big ‘no-no’ [-Xcausing my mop to look dull and lifeless,so it’s imperative that while my hair is protected, a heat styling solution that additionally encouragesa lustrous sheen with a durable, flexible finish is vital.:)>-
Upon first glance, I noticed the Goldwell Style Sign Sleek Perfection Thermal Spray Serum, boasts all of my desired qualities and more!:x Presentedin a 100ml non-aerosol, pump-action, spray bottle, this serum is actually aweightless, fine mist, applied directly onto dry hair prior tostraightening.The waterless formula doesn’tproduce moisture as such, in lieu, two to three pumps sufficiently delivers anon-stick vapour-like substance that instantly softens and nurtures my hair, evokingmore-manageable locks in preparation for heat styling.Distributing the spritz evenly throughout my lengthsencourages an accelerated straightening process, therefore my hair onlyrequires a few quick strokes of the hot iron before…Presto!Desired effectspromptly achieved.I’ve always been fondof the prominent fragrance characterised in the Goldwell family of products and thisparticular spray, laced with a delightfully, fruity scent, envelopes my strandswith a decadent aroma, reminiscent of just stepping out of the salon.;;)Combining UVA/UVB filters and conditioning agents, the Goldwell Style Sign Sleek Perfection Thermal Spray Serum proffers the ultimate in protection,not only from the damage caused by heat styling, but also acts as a barrier todefend against external aggressors.It efficientlysmooths out any imperfections on a bad-hair-day, tames frizzy, flyawayemergencies and is even handy for unexpected touch-ups on the go.Transforming my mop in an instant, it yields lastingstyle that can survive through the hottest of days, resisting the vast humidityor other extreme weather conditions.Unlike previous thermal protectors I’ve tried, this spray doesn’t weighdown my tresses or contribute to product build-up, usually resulting in flat,limp and excessively oily locks. Instead,it boosts the color vibrancy, imparting an all-over brilliantly glossy, shine,for hair that feels healthy, silky soft and naturally moveable/touchable (as in not at all stiff).This is ideal weapon to target to my scragglymane, ensuring a sleek, smooth, pencil-straight, finish every time.=D>
I am so impressed with the Goldwell Style Sign Sleek Perfection Thermal Spray Serum and it’s remarkable results-orientatedperformance that I am awarding it with a honourable 5 star rating.(*) (*) (*) (*) (*) Based on my own experience, I would have tosay, it’s absolutely the most capable thermal protector I’ve personally used. Thecomplimentary lightweight, non-greasy formulation addresses my styling woes, enhancingmy straight tresses and coloured-treated hair whilst stamping out frizz to establisha beautifully straight style that promotes optimum hair heath.:D
