Loooove this product! Seals the ends of my hair for blow drying and flat ironing like nothing else has before. I have wavy hair that doesn’t like to stay straight, but this has been a total game changer. My hair looks smoother and healthier and remains styled into the next day. I’m only deducting one star, because the spray bottle isn’t very sturdy. I broke the trigger on it after just maybe 2 or 3 uses and transferred the product into another spray bottle.

I really like this product, and I'm picky with my hair products. I have long/wavy hair and a lot of stuff makes my hair look heavy/oily. This is perfect and smells so good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.
Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally don’t use heat on my hair but I do for my daughter and I used this product and it was very effective in protecting the hair. I loved the scent and it isn’t too pricy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried a lot of hair products, and I was honestly surprised by how much I liked this one. It doesn’t leave your hair feeling greasy or heavy, it’s a very lightweight formula but my hair has been SO soft and doesn’t feel dried out or brittle after a blowout, so it must be providing some form of protection! I also love the spray nozzle, it’s really easy to work with, and distributes the product evenly rather than clumping it in one spot, overall really happy with this spray!
I have frizzy hair and when I use this the frizz goes away

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use a lot of heat on my hair and over the years it’s made my hair frizzy. When I used this product I used heat tools on my hair after my hair dried and it looked great! Don’t use a lot product though cause it made my hair also slightly stiff so one pump or even two is enough.
Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems like a good protectant. It indeed makes my hair softer and helps a bit with frizzy hair. I have thin fine hair and found that it did not make my hair greasy.
Not bad!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mainly blow dry my hair and it definitely protects the hair against heat! This leave-in has a milky conditioner consistency but still lightweight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smells amazing. Not too heavy on my hair and doesn't make it feel greasy at all. The only issue is that it seems like it makes it difficult for my hair to stay curled with this product in.
Good Overall Choice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the way that my hair feels after applying this to my hair when it is about 90% dry, and styling it. I would however mostly use this as a backup or in rotation to my other heat protectant sprays only because I tend to avoid some of the more “harsh” ingredients, however I do like the light scent of this spray and how well it protects my hair from the heat of styling tools!
It’s a good affordable heat protector

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I straightened my hair and it felt better than it usually does when I straighten it with no product so I think this product is nice. I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of it, so here’s a video after my dog found it and chewed it up.
Really good!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This leave in protector works very well for my hair. It successfully prevents heat damage while I am blow drying and leaves my hair with a nice sheen. I apply a liberal amount and it doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy or like there is any product in it. I received this product complementary for my honest review, but will be repurchasing once I run out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this. I didn’t expect it to be so smooth when spraying. A lot of my leave in conditioners are either too watery or too clumpy when coming out of the bottle and this has an amazing spray and feel.
