HBL Hair Care Thermal Styling System Review and Giveaway

Hair FRIZZ: the number one enemy for women of all ages.
"Why can't my hair be tamed?"

Frizzy, dull hair has plagued me since junior high. Women often think that my straight hair is easy to manage. What they don't realize is my hair has been quite unmanageable due to heat damage from styling tools. 

My hair will experience frizz, dullness, and tangling throughout the day as I'm constantly on the go. The frizzier my hair gets, the more I use my flat iron to try and fix it. I'm always on the lookout for products that target frizz and flyaways.

If you've seen my previous posts, you'll see how much I strongly support sulfate free and paraben free products.

 I had the opportunity to try natural hair care products aimed at targeting frizz, dullness, and overall hair improvement courtesy of HBL and Purely Visual.

HBL is a professional hair care line developed with high quality ingredients and formulated without sulfates, parabens, and other harsh chemicals generally found in other hair care products. 

The HBL Thermal Styling System came with 3 products - Shine & Seal, Thermal Spray, and the Leave-in Conditioner. 

Shine & Seal: 
Locks in moisture
Provides hair with a high-gloss finish
Contains Argan Oil, Vitamin E, fatty acids
100 ml ($30.95)

To use Shine & Seal: 
I placed a quarter sized amount into the palm of my hands and rubbed the formula as the directions stated. I then applied it sparingly to my hair and instantly my hair had a natural sheen and high-gloss look. It also smoothed out my frizzies. 


Thermal Spray:
Protects hair when using hair dryers, flat or curling irons, or hot rollers
No-sugar formula; won't stick to heated tools such as curling irons
Provides volume and movement to hair (did not make my hair "crunchy" like hair sprays or mousse)
6ml ($7.95), 30ml ($33.95)

To use Thermal Spray:
After applying a dab of Shine & Seal, spray your hair 3-4 times before flat ironing or curling. 
After using your thermal tools, spray a few times to set and finish your hairstyle.


Leave-in Conditioner:
Contains Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
Has antibacterial properties
Panthenol and silk protein moisturizes and smoothes hair cuticles
6ml ($7.95), 30ml ($33.95)

To use Leave-in Conditioner:
Shampoo and conditioner as usual. Emulsify the HBL conditioner by rubbing the product in your hands. Apply to towel-dry hair and use a comb.


3 easy steps to more manageable hair.

HBL hair care products are pH-balanced and contains no sulfates or parabens. Compare the ingredients list of any of these three products to the ones you see in stores or even at home. 

Sulfate free and paraben free products such as HBL may cost a bit more pricewise, but those products you often see in stores could cost you your health in the long run. 

My philosophy is, when I spend my hard-earned money on personal care products, I'm going to spend it on healthier beauty products with long-lasting results.


The thermal spray helped my curls stay soft and free-flowing throughout a day's worth of running errands, household chores, and even my daily 15 minute walk.





HBL is kindly offering their Thermal styling system ($98 value) to one lucky winner. Enter via Rafflecopter below.

Sweepstakes is open from Jan. 16, 2012 - Jan. 25, 2012.
