Pro: It is not made with silicones.

Con #1 It is unbelievably sticky.

It doesn't matter if I spray a lot or a little this stuff is STICKY. During flat ironing this stuff builds up on my fingers and it looks like old gum you'd find underneath a school desk. When I'm done flat ironing my hair it is still sticky (yes I allow the spray to dry before I flat iron my hair). Sometimes white flakes are in my hair after using this. Since it makes hair stick together it causes tangles and knots.

Con #2 Silk? Really?

My hair is not silky after using this. My flat iron is very good and can make my hair silky as long as I don't use this thermal protectant.

Con #3 Too expensive

I have used cheaper products that worked WONDERFULLY for a third of the cost. I stopped using them because they were made with silicones that are difficult to wash out. I vote this spray the worst spray I've ever used.

Con #4 It is CHI

I have used other CHI products that were very good, so I had high expectations of this product. If you don't mind using silicones and would like to use a CHI thermal protectant, then I suggest you buy CHI Infra Treatment Thermal Protective Treatment.
