I tried this at the mall and my hair smelled like it had been burned....looked great but smelled weird and through a couple washings....will that always happen?

My hair has never burned. Did you use a special heat protective spray before you used the flat iron? You have to protect your locks with flat iron spray of some sort or else it will burn your hair and most likely smell bad. I have had my flat iron for over a year and it has never had any weird smell. I love it.

Only when I first got it was there a strange smell. Like something burning. I've been using it every day for months and a very satisfied

I never had that problem with mine unless you got some hair caught in it and that may leave a burning smell.

I use a little bit with my normal shampoo every time I wash my hair, which is every other day if I can help it. I have had a friend say that it dried her hair out, so make sure to properly condition (I'm not a hair stylist or anything, but that's what I would do!)

I have an original one of these, 100% wool and I put it in the washer constantly on gentle cycle, cool water! hang to dry. I got rid of the "oily" smell in one wash. I wash ALL my woolens, even my cashmere, in an appropriate soap for woolens. They come out beautifully! Dry cleaner fluid damages wool. Wool is from sheep, they stand out all day in the rain...the only thing you should not do with wool is heat or high agitation, which will felt the wool. BTW, my seller told me there was no order as well, they must not have a nose on their faces, the odor is overwhelming right out of the box!

This definitely was drying for me. My hair looked good the one day I used it but it felt like straw.

I guess you mean "burn".....I have not had a problem....assuming you use it properly & follow directions, it shouldn't burn or damage hair. I like it.

Yes, it is an artificial fragrance that stays on your hair ALL DAY. I personally love the product but the stench is so gross to me and kind of headache inducing that I am on Amazon today to try to find a less stinky alternative. Make sure you smell it in person before buying and realize your head will retain that smell till your next wash. :-/

when mine was brand new, it smelled a little til it got broken in, as do many appliances that involve heat, like toasters too. Now if any hair gets sucked in the back it will burn the hair and smell funny, but this newer model has such a fine screen on it that it's pretty rare.

I am natural, so my hair has little if any damage, and I found this stuff to be EXTREMELY harsh and drying. I would suggest trying the As I Am Cleansing Pudding, which is really the Co-Wash in the line, in my opinion.

I've been using this product for years and while it has a strong scent, I haven't found it acidic and it always dissipates when I rinse it out of my hair. Maybe you have a defective batch? I would contact the seller.

No! I've had the treatment in the salon and it was better and lasted longer than this one. This one only lasted a few weeks and my hair seemed to be drier after all was said and done.

Honestly it was too much heat to apply to my real hair. I only used it on my weave when I had a sew in. It can get really hot & I couldn't risk damaging my hair.

yes, but there were problems. First, the shampoo leaked. Second, I don't think it works as well as what I got from the hairdresser. My hair faded and I lost hair. They gave me a full refund.

Although I cannot say with complete certainty I can say after having my hair straightened with f450 products 2x that it doesn't have the horrible smell like keratin does which is caused by famaldehyde. It is a completely heat based product. I use this in addition to the shampoo and conditioner. The treatment itself sells on amazon and eBay for under $100 but very time consuming. Have to wash hair, blow, put in treatment, straighten and then wash it out and blow and straighten again. Over 2 hrs but I have very thick Brillo course hair and this stuff lasted me over 5 months. I advise using the whole product not just the hot iron part.

Lately mine has been clumpy. To me, it smells citrus and fruity. You should mix it with water. It's concentrated. You have to find what works for you... I suggest trying this for two weeks and if you don't like it or you don't like the change in your hair, try another product like Lush or the Honest Company.
