Protects Hair!
I enjoyed using this protectant and liked that it didn't leave my hair feeling crunchy. For the temperatures that I use on my curling iron and straightener, my hair is protected. I dislike using the item on damp hair because I'm use to spraying my heat protectant on my everyday hair but it's fine. I...

Hair Type Wavy Hair
I have a mix of wavy and curly fine hair. This product can be used on damp hair or to refresh your curls, it works great, my curls love this leave in and doesn't weigh my hair down! This works better for me tha AG Recoil I'm shocked! Definitely buying again!
Really good for people who blow dry curly hair straight!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I have very curly hair that I wash and blow dry straight everyday. This protector works to straighten and protect while I blow dry. I use only a dime size and because I don't like the smell, I mix a dime size of my other blow dry spray that is lavender mint. The bonding protector also keeps my hair from frizzing and curling in very humid weather. Yes a good product.
Not for me.
Hair Type Wavy Hair
It didn't do anything for my hair. And I cannot stand the smell. I have to return it.

Not Your Mother's Tough Love Bonding Leave-In Protector is a solid choice for anyone looking for an affordable heat protectant that adds shine and fights frizz. It is especially great for those with normal to slightly damaged hair. I really enjoy the scent as it is a really nice clean powdery shampoo fragrance. If you have super dry or coarse hair, you might need a more robust conditioner alongside it. But for the price, it delivers on its core promises and is a worthy addition to your hair care.
Faulty bottle
Bottle does not spray. I had to put into a used bottle of another product. It is an ok spray.
