Here’s a story for you.
A couple of years ago, I went to Berlin with my sister. It was a quick trip and made for some excellent sister bonding time. One of the things that we love to do when we’re together is eat, and have really nice dining experiences. So we decided to try some Michelin-starred restaurants because they have some in Berlin. It was so fun.
But the first day, we were on our way to one of these restaurants, and it was in a beautiful courtyard. Before we entered the courtyard, there was a tiny little salon in the building right outside. The other thing my sister and I love is getting our hair done, so I we both popped into the salon to check it out and see if they could fit us in after our lunch. They couldn’t, and it was a tiny 2 chair salon, but they had this exclusive line of products called La Biosthétique that I decided to try because I felt bad that I had spent about 15 minutes in the salon just looking around and asking about the products. I told them that I wanted something for helping me blow-dry my hair, and they suggested this Heat Protector.
I used the heat protector the next day when I blow-dried my hair at the hotel. The Heat Protector smells absolutely amazing. It’s got kind of a botanical scent that reminds me of Aveda products, and I really love it. In fact, I loved how it smells so much that I decided to save this heat protector for special occasions.
Well guess what?
The special occasion never came, and so I didn’t really go back to this special occasion heat protector. And it was expensive too because I paid in euros. And then I wasn’t really even motivated to blog about it because you couldn’t get La Biosthetique in Canada anyway.
But now you can. And because I’ve been on quarantine, I’ve had time to try all different products and see how they work.
I liked the Biosthetique Heat Protector for blow-drying or heat styling my hair. It’s super light and makes my hair soft and moisturized. I loved that it also made my hair shiny and that it didn’t weigh my hair down.
But it provides almost no frizz-reduction and no protection from humidity. There’s almost no hold like there is with some blow-drying sprays.
I wouldn’t rebuy this, but I would definitely try more products from the brand, because I felt that this was a high-end product that made my hair feel good.
You can get it online for $32.
You can see a bit of the gel coming out of the tube in the image above. It is a glycerine-based gel so it feels slightly moisturizing on your skin and it really sticks.
