Olive Oil Thermalast 2-N-1 Shine Mist and Heat Defense

long-time repeat use

I love this spray been using it for years!

effective on 4c hair when straightening, adds shine

Amazing!! I typically don't put heat on my girls hair but decided to straighten it for the holidays... One of daughters is 4c and this spray straightened her hair and gave it just the right amount of shine! Smells good too!

works well but packaging leaked in transit

It's a wonderful product for all types of hair. I was disappointed that the product arrived and had leaked inside the plastic and into the box though.

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 8 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
