Save and Splurge: Heat Protector

Nicky Clarke Hair Raising

We’ve picked out a cheaper one, and one of the more expensive best-sellers, to trial and give and honest verdict about which will get you the best value for money.

Save: Schwarzkopf Got2b Guardian Angel Heat Protection Spray

The value for this product is fantastic, you get a really good size bottle for a tiny price and you don’t have to use loads each time so for value you really can’t beat it! I love the product because it smelled so nice and it was super easy to apply. There was zero fuss involved and it wasn’t sticky like some other heat protectors. When it came to drying my hair, it did tame the frizz and definitely softened my hair but it wasn’t a miracle worker and didn’t give me the shine I was after. Overall, for the price it’s definitely worth giving it a go and it does make your hair lovely and soft. Get yours from Superdrug now for the bargain price of £2.55!

Splurge: Nicky Clarke Hair Raising

I'm going to be honest; when I first got this product out and started spraying it into my hair I wasn’t so sure about it. It was quite sticky and I was certain it was going to leave my hair stiff as a brush; I couldn’t have been more wrong. As well as being a heat protector, this product also doubles as a styling product and that’s where it really comes into its own. Once I’d blow-dried my hair it was super bouncy, soft and frizz free and was incredibly easy to style afterwards. When using straighteners you can feel the protective coat on your hair when you glide the straighteners over it, I’m assuming some people wouldn’t like this but I felt assured that my hair was being protected from the heat so it really worked for me. If someone could combine the best elements from both of these products they would be a genius! Get your Nicky Clarke Hair Raising from nickyclarke.com for £16!
