No, I don't use a product specifically designed to protect against heat when blow drying—that is a very good question and I should see what's out there.
I do use an Aveda leave-in conditioner called Damage Remedy, and an Aveda "smoothing fluid" in their Light Elements line. Sometimes for control I use the Light Elements "detailing wax" which is like hair spray without alcohol.
But no, none of these products is expressly for protection with blow drying or curling irons.
And I never see steam coming off my hair when I blow dry it, so maybe I need to get something to protect it against the hot air.
Thanks for writing!

Kim knows hair, so she'll be a great resource for you.
My question would be, if you are trying to straighten your hair, why you want to use a curling iron versus a flat iron?
