QUESTION: Heat Protectant?

I'm well aware that heat protectant is a great tool and almost necessary when naturals(or non-naturals for that matter) use direct heat such as blow drying and/or flat ironing.

My question is:
Is a heat protectant needed when doing rods sets, curlers, or curlformers and sitting under a hooded dryer? If so, what type of heat protectants do you suggest? I always viewed hooded dryers as non-direct heat...but maybe my tresses still need some protection anyway??? Don't want to use cones if it isn't necessary...

Let me know what you think!


Thanks in advance!

Good question.

In all curling videos (rollersets, flexi-rod sets, etc) I have watched I always hear them say "I'm going to use this heat protectant just in case I get under the dryer", so I would probably go a head and use one. Hopefully someone else can chime in!

I love your avatar by the way!! Your beautiful and so is your hair!

Awwww....*blushing* Thank you so much!

Thanks for your response! Sounds like it's better safe than sorry! Hope some others chime in too! I want to know opinions of what the best heat protectant to purchase would be as well!
