I started using this Redken Smooth Down hair serum over a year ago, it was quite an impulsive purchase at the time but I really liked the idea of having a smoothing serum combined with heat protection... And I'm SO glad I decided to give Heat Glide ago because it really is the ultimate in frizz control!
You apply the thick serum containing macadamia oil and candelilla wax to towel dried hair, prior to using ceramic irons. I found that Heat Glide significantly reduces frizz, and also provides a barrier from the effects of humid/wet weather much better than other serums I have tried, such as John Frieda Frizz-Ease. According to Redken the effectiveness of Heat Glide is down to the “cationic refiners that attract to and neutralize the existing anionic charges of your hair”. Goodness knows what that jargon means, but you can take my word for it that this a great hair serum if your hair is thick, a bit dry and prone to extreme frizziness!
I was fed up of using a million and one different products on my hair (for smoothing, de-frizzing, protecting) which sometimes made it feel and look heavy. Heat Glide is great because I find just using it on wet hair, then blow-drying or straightening, and then applying a little bit more through the ends (for extra shine) gives great results.
As Heat Glide is such a thick, rich serum you only need a little amount or you’ll end up with greasy hair. Using such a small amount also makes this a good economical purchase, my bottle has lasted for ages! Heat Glide costs around £14 for a massive 150ml – really good when you consider Frizz-Ease is about £5.50 for 50ml.
