My Experience
I applied to my hair while it was still very wet but not soaking wet, working in small sections. Although the instructions recommend applying to damp hair, I found that the extra water helps distribute the product and leads to better blow dry results. The Smooth Intense Xtreme Straight Creme glides on easily and has a rich, silky feel. I was pleased to find that it helped with detangling and made combing/brushing easier. Some heat protectants can be difficult to distribute and can be a little tacky but I didn’t have that worry with this one.
After drying, my hair was soft and bouncy with no hint of build-up or residue. My hair was also straighter than it would have been without the cream which meant less flat ironing to get the look I wanted. As an added bonus, my hair smelled great! I love the fragrance which is strong but not overbearing.
In Summary
- L’Oreal Smooth Intense Xtreme Straight Creme left my hair soft, nourished and smelling great.
- Rich cream that aids in detangling and straightening.
- Retailing for $6.99 for 5.1 ounces, this heat protectant is a wonderful value and is available for purchase here or here.
Here’s to a great hair day! Thanks for reading.

My hair is a frizzy mess in winter, any product that helps tame it is good to have in my book!
So I have a very short military haircut. I never put anything on my hair, cause I don't have much. LOL..
I get keratin treatments to get rid of my natural curls. I have so much hair when it's curly that I would need a lot more than the recommended amount I think.
I absolutely use much more than the recommended amount of everything. I have a lot of hair too so I go through products really quickly.
I don't use a blow dryer or flat iron on my hair–but I do TRY to brush it straight. This just might help.

I need to tell my sister about this. She tries to straighten her hair with a flat iron often.
It sounds like a great product. I hate the sticky residue of some products, but this sounds like a great way to smooth out your hair.
I use a straightener on my hair all the time to curl it – so I think I need to save my hair:)
That looks like a really great product. I love that it protects your hair from heat.
