Every time I’m about to blow-dry or flat-iron my hair I reach for the Mielle Mongongo Oil Thermal & Heat Protectant Spray. That’s because using a heat protectant when I use heat on my hair has become a nonnegotiable step in my relaxed hair routine. Here’s what it does for me:
✔️ Offers intense heat defense so my strands aren’t getting fried every time I style
✔️ Helps eliminate frizz and adds shine
✔️ Speeds up dry time so my hair dries faster but still feels moisturized
✔️ Keeps me frizz-free even in humidity How I use it: 1. After washing, I start with a water-based leave-in conditioner 2. Then I spray the Mielle heat protectant from roots to ends 3. Proceed with blow-drying or flat-ironing in sections A few things to note: * The bottle is only 4 oz, so it can go fast (especially for longer or thicker hair) * It has a pleasant, slightly perfumed scent but is not overpowering in my experience * It does include hydrolyzed wheat protein, which is pretty far down the ingredients list. Personally, I manage by balancing my other products with low/no protein Even with its small size and those small caveats, this spray has totally transformed the way my relaxed hair handles heat styling. It’s soft, smoother, doesn’t frizz, and styling feels safer. I’ve linked it here in my LTK. Why not try it yourself and see the difference? Let me know how your hair feels afterward. hairproducts relaxedhaircare LTKBeauty LTKStyleTip
