I just received my order in Clear Shine. I didn't know you had to use a plastic cap and heat. Will it work without the heat?

If you don't have a plastic cap, just use plastic saran wrap from your kitchen :)

I have used it without the heat several times. If you have had any kind of treatment on your hair immediately before (such as a perm, relaxer, color treatment) the cellophane will still bond to your hair. If you haven't had anything done to your hair, it will still coat the hair shaft. The plastic cap should be worn as it generates some heat. But honestly without the heat it washes out in one or two shampoos.

I live in a humid area and the glaze has a tacky feel to it until it has cured completely, which can take several days. I think heat itself would not make it turn tacky, but contact with moisture like sweat or humidity definitely does. It also tends to yellow in the sun. If you need a non-tacky finish I would recommend a final coat of wood varnish, which dries smooth, or if you need something with dimension try UV resin.

Yes. no problem, but I don't use in plastic. I like more use Mother's Protectant 30 days of protection. Mike I love Mother's products. For exemple. I used Top Coat wonderful wax the supreme shine and protection.

I tried the sharpie dying a bit on it and that method does work but as far as heat you have to be careful.. It can take some heat but not much.. If you use too much you'll fry it.. I did to an end which I was trimming anyways :P

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.

Plastic gloves and disposable shower cap (the gloves and head cap that comes with the kit aren't great...). I used a plastic applicator brush for my hairline. (all of these things can be found at Sally's). Newspaper to lay down, making clean-up easier. Also I recommend a hair bonnet (I have the Curlformers SoftHood which I also bought on Amazon) -- makes the heating process a lot easier.

Yikes - pretty sure this would result in a melting pile of plastic/gel. You can keep them cool in the frig and then apply them. If you're looking for heat - use a different product....there's a microwavable or freezer product from Mother Love.

I didn't have any problem with this product. I used all its setting, works fine for me and makes my hair shiny. I will suggest to use heat protector mousse or spray before on your hair if you want to protect your hair from any heating products.

Don't use the applicator - Just squeeze the Goop onto the area and spread with Popsicle stick and replace the cap. Keep tube in cool dry place

I did not try to use any heat protectant. So, I cannot tell you if there will be any effect. The only thing I can tell you is that the instructions are clear about using the machine with dry hair.

Yes, it doesn't require high heat, but you should use extreme cautious due to the mixture of led depending what you are melting

I don't think the plastic head would take much heat. Therefore I would say don't keep it near flame or heat source.

For me, I found that NO cream was needed!!! I learned that the hard way. Cream tends to create a sticky goo that keeps the head from moving smoothly across my face & only clogs the lights. Actually, once your skin warms a little (which is almost instantaneous) , it glides very smoothly with nothing required!!! What I do to warm the head just a little is I turn it away from my face & then touch the side of the head with the tip of my finger. The lights come on which helps to warm the metal. I don't hold it like that for long as I don't want it hot...just warm.

This is for others out there who may be confused about using heat protectant with an electrical appliance. Obviously, it is manufactured for this specific purpose. T's hair makes it sound as if you'd electrocute yourself merely by having wet hair while using an electric appliance say a hair dryer for instance. With the reference to finger drying that would at least distribute the product better.This does use tourmaline infused technology so I'm not sure if using the heat protectant would interfere with the shine that's supposed to give you. But that would be my only worry.

Yes you can use this without a heating cap and an ordinary shower cap would work

Today at 3:44 PM It says in the instructions that it comes with NOT to use it for this purpose, because of possible scalding....shouldn't use on wet hair etc..but I did use it for deep conditioning. I made sure my hair was covered in plastic so that I didn't get any oils on the cap itself. I also did not heat it up as hot as I would for curling.hope this helps

YES,I used it both ways,but works fine with no heat tape.It stands up to exhaust heat with no peeling.
