Kenra - Platinum Blow Dry Spray

I actually had a coupon for a free travel size bottle of this spray.  I had been looking at Kenra while in Cosmoprof for years and for some reason never made the leap to buy it.  But I had this great coupon and was excited to try it.  

The sales girl was a cheerleader for this product. I was waiting for her to whip out the pom-poms and cheer GIVE ME A K, GIVE ME A A, GIVE ME A N.... but it never happened.

She had went on about the scent, about how great it works, how you can spray and spray and you won't get greasy hair, how your hair looks great for a few days after...etc.  I was sold!  Well, I was sold anyways since it was free.  But I digress.

According to Kenra.com this product - 

• Dramatically decreases blow-dry time
• Provides intense heat protection from damage and breakage
• Lightweight formulation detangles, smoothes, and softens
• Eliminates frizz and resists humidity
• Provides long-lasting, healthy looking results

Their website also lists the Key Ingredients as -

• Evaporative Silicones: help the hair dry faster 
• Heat Protectants: give intense thermal defense
• Argan Oil: known to help soften, strengthen, and protect hair
• Jojoba Oil: provides conditioning and softening properties

Alright.  It did smell heavenly, as in I wanted to bathe in it and with those ingredients, I most likely could. 

I have used it sprayed sparingly, sprayed it all over and everywhere between.  Now, the Cosmoprof cheerleader was exaggerating a bit when she said you can spray however you want without being weighed down. But for me, the first day it looked great and didn't feel greasy, but the second day I got some heaviness and the third day I felt so greasy (normally day 4 is the nasty greasy day for me).  But when I sprayed a normal amount, I didn't have any issues.  

I wish the amazing scent stayed on my hair longer, as in forever, but you can't get everything you want.

I have no idea what I will be purchasing for my next Shampoo/Conditioner, but I want to try the Platinum Shampoo for Thin/Fine hair and the matching Conditioner. I am wary of shampoos and conditioners that promise thickening and volumizing as they always dry out and make my hair straw-like. But if the shampoo/conditioner is anything like the Blow Dry Spray, I will be a cheerleader myself! 

The Kenra line is HUGE, and there are so many products I want to try it is overwhelming.  Anyone tried any of them?
