What are the directions on how to use this? Must you blow-dry and/or use a hot iron? Can use as a regular conditioner and let air dry?

it is not a real keratin treatment, but more of a deep conditioner. you do not have to blow dry or straighten, however you want to style after using is fine.

Hi, I've been using this product for over a year. I just wash my hair, rinse it, apply the Novex Brazilian Keratin on my hair and put a plastic cap on my head. If I'm not planning on going anywhere that day, I leave on my head and do whatever (i.e. housework, watch tv, read, etc.) for about an hour (longer if you want but it's up to you as to how much time you have) and then rinse it out of my hair. I either blow-dry my hair and flat-iron my hair and/or I twist my hair and let it air-dry. My hair is natural for the past 10 years and the texture has changed to the point that when I use this product, it makes my hair straighter than normal. I love this product. If you have any additional questions, feel free to email me at: motherofgradn04@yahoo.com. I hope that my comment has been helpful.

Hold the center while you blow dry it and stretch it, because if you start with the right or left side it'll wrinkle quick. Or you could cut the shape of it and then start in the center! That worked well for me on my secound try.

No. Your hair has to be dry. My hair is very curly and I use it after Blow dry or sometimes I let it air dry and then use it. Works great either way. Do not use on wet hair!

Hi Mercedes! I believe that's exactly what I used to use by Conair and it always dried out my hair. I'm no expert on blow dryers, but this Chi one seems pretty good. Alot more power to it. It seems to take a little longer to dry my hair but I use warm heat instead of hot. The hot is definitely that and too hot for me right now (maybe in the winter it won't burn me ;)). I would recommend something higher in quality than the ones we buy at Walmart or Target. Even check out what they have at a salon and then look for it on Amazon, you are sure to find the same product for a whole lot cheaper ;-)

Just dry hair, after blow drying to achieve perfect results. I haven't tried it with wet yet

It is not a blow dryer. You need to use it on dry hair since the manufacturer says clearly not to use on wet hair. It is still a great styling tool.

I don't recommended you try something like that. It doesn't work, unless you want fried crusty hair! Lol. My roots have been damp after a minimum blowdry and it worked Ok. Best Results are after a Good Blowdry

The temp settings are great. The blow force is a little powerful if your hair is short or if too dry when styling.Try using attachment to narrow down air stream, wetter hair, keep dryer further from your head. Start with brush then use your hand(s) to style and lift.

Check youtube but there is one thing you should know about this product before you use it. Your hair texture will be nice at first but after a couple of months it will change and be frizzier than ever. You are better off using the wrap method or getting a good flat iron, use the correct temperature for your hair. Don't blow dry your hair before you flat iron because you're blowing out the cuticle which defeats the whole purpose of flat ironing. Now to get my hair straighter I use the wrap method and pony tail method which works really good. When you flat iron makes it so much easier.

Hi! I have shoulder length hair. I dry my hair with a regular hair dryer until it's just damp. I finish it with the Conair Hot Air Brush. It is faster then blow drying it and then using a curl iron - and the results are better! (The hot air brush only works if your hair is long enough to wrap around the barrel!)

Yes it is great for heat styling.I use it to blow dry or spray in my hair after deep conditioning air day and then flat iron work great both ways.

Works with my hair fine. I get bouncy curls and at the last family gathering my cousins commented on how great my hair looked. The key is to have slightly damp hair and to put a little spray or mouse first. Work it in sections, one direction on one side, then turn the dryer to blow the opposite direction on the other side. Works great!

Check out my natural sistahs on YouTube quick and easy blowout for a demo. It works for my 4a 4c hair. I have low porosity hsir so most of my hair is dry before I ger to it. I make sure a comb slips through it with ease, wet or dry, heat protectant on top of whatever moisturizing system you have going on. Then I use this straighten my hair...more like stretch my hair. It's prep for flat iron if that's your next step. It's not bone straight. I don't want it to be. It gives a good tension blow dry or tension blow dry look.

Yes. You can use it just like a regular blow dryer if you take the brush off. There is also a round brush that comes along with it too to make curls.

My hair is not real thick either and I use this product before I flow dry and it works great for me. I blow dry and then use a flat iron and no more humidity hair for me! It works great for me.

Some sort of heating device is necessary. I used a crafting heating tool and it worked great, got much hotter than needed. Someone suggested a hair dryer would work but I did not try it.

I use it like a spray in- leave in conditioning mist. Basically spray /spritz into hair and then lightly scrunch hair to refresh your style. It works on either dry or slightly damp hair. I have really long hair so I usually lift and spritz on slightly damp hair and then I spray the ends of my hair a little more. Follow with a small amount of Wen styling gel on ends also to prevent flyaways as the hair dries. Smells great ...hair is soft and feels wonderful.
