The TRESemme Thermal Creations Curl Activator Spray is a product that is specifically formulated for heat styling and maintaining curls. It is basically a hair spray with heat protectant property. The smell and texture of the product is similar to most hair spray in the market. Though this product is made for heat styling, it is still advisable to use Heat Tamer Spray or any heat protectant product in order to have extra protection against the heat.
In order for this product to work best for the hair, it is best to follow the instructions in the package and do some extra steps. Here is how I use this product:
1. Spray Heat Tamer on the hair and brush the hair to distribute product, let it sit for a minute. 2. Next, mist Curl Activator Spray evenly on the hair 3. Blow dry for around a minute and brush the hair - blow drying removes the tackiness that the Curl Activator Spray leaves 4. Curl the hair using a flat iron/curling iron/curling wand
That's it! This will hold your curls/waves for a long time even without spritzing on additional hairspray at the end of heat styling.
I have actually thought at first that this would be like a regular heat protectant spray and without reading the instructions, I went and curled my hair without blow drying. It was not a total disaster and the results was not bad either but after trying it out again with blow drying prior to curling, the curls are much easier to style and it holds much better too. The curls which before, lasted long enough, was a little limp. But with the additional process of blow drying, the curls were bouncy and had lasted for three days. The hold it has on the hair is flexible but firm. It doesn't get flaky or leaves any residue.
It is a great product and I highly recommend it. Nicer looking curls and waves and additional hair protection too! :)
