OOOUUUU. The fact I have natural hair and this still works with my hair is outstanding for me. Yes it is not a natural heat protectant (less silicones and proteins) its nonetheless an amazing product which leaves my hair silky and soft after my wash day routine. I apply it to soaking-wet hair and it allows to seal the hydration in!! The price might put you off....for a small bottle it is about 50bucks...but eeyy it actually does a good job
