Silicone free heat protector - any recommendations?

[NicsV]

HI, my hairdresser has just recommended i purchase a silicone free heat protector. Trying to grow my hair long but keep having to get the regrowth cut off!
As far as i can see, they ALL seem to have silicones in them. Does anyone know of heat protectant that doesn't?
Many thanks for your replies

Angel products but they are hard to get hold of as they are a French brand and not many people sell this brand X

There are different types of silicone based ingredients. Some types wash out easily with shampoo but others create a barrier that doesn't wash out and misleads you into thinking the hair indestructible, healthy and good condition, when in reality it's quite damaged. After too much heat/ straightening, it just breaks off.

Maybe you've seen a YouTube video where the hair breaks close to the scalp when using a straightening iron?

The other problem is that the coatings can have a detrimental affect when you bleach or colour the hair.

The washable silicones are fine. Usually, a good quality salon shampoo/conditioner should be ok. Stick with the better known brands such as Joico, Kerastase, Paul Mitchell if you're not sure.
