JVN Hair Complete Instant Recovery Serum

By now you've probably seen the videos illustrating just how well the Complete Instant Recovery Serum (£24) protects bread against the heat of a toaster and proving just how vital good heat protection is in your haircare regimen. Shielding your hair from temperatures of up to 230°C, it also works to reduce split ends thanks to repairing niacinamide and strengthening lemon protein.

Lucy says: Another brilliantly lightweight product that leaves my curls feeling nice and soft and works well when layered with other styling products like the Air Dry Cream (more on that one later). As I've been on it with my haircuts recently I can't comment on how well it repairs split ends, but it did leave my hair nice and soft. Being totally honest, the scent isn't my favourite, but I'm more than happy to ignore that fact in favour of good heat protection.

Tori says: Admittedly I wasn't sold on this product. Ultimately I didn't feel like it gave enough instant results to become a staple in my routine. I also prefer spray heat protector as I find it's easier to evenly distribute the product in my midlengths and ends. Basically, it comes down to me and my laziness.

Kara says: I rarely ever use heat on my hair so I can't give an in-depth review of this product. I do however like using it as a base to layer other curl-defining products on top. Although it's not a product I would reach for often, my curls did respond really well to the formulation and felt buttery soft.
