Too sticky for my liking

I purchased this as a means of heat protection when I was looking for something to replace my non-cruelty-free heat protection cream. Unfortunately, I wasn't that enamored of the product. I applied it as instructed, before blowdrying my hair, and while it might have protected from the heat, the texture of my hair always ended up feeling thick and kind of sticky. I probably won't repurchase, considering the price, and the resulting texture.
