Sliced Bread - Series 5: Conditioners and Heat Protection Products

About this episode

<p>After the Sliced Bread episode on shampoo, a number of listeners got in touch to request a follow-up episode on conditioners. So of course, we obliged. </p><p>Listener Katie wanted to know what they actually do to our hair, if they can deliver on promises for shinier, smoother, or stronger locks – and whether leave-in treatments could be more effective than conditioners you wash off in the shower? </p><p>Listener Franziska also got in touch, as she wondered if we could also have a look at heat protection products. She wanted to know what’s in them, can they offer our hair any protection while styling, and is there a difference between the effectiveness of sprays or creams? </p><p>Greg Foot rinses out the claims on both, speaking once again to the experts from Shampoo – also available on BBC Sounds. </p><p>This series, we’re testing and investigating your suggested wonder-products. If you’ve seen an ad, trend or fad, and wonder if there’s any evidence to back up a claim, drop us an email to <a href="mailto:sliced.bread@bbc.co.uk">sliced.bread@bbc.co.uk</a> or you can send us a voice note to our WhatsApp number: 07543 306807.</p><p>Presenter: Greg Foot Producer: Kate Holdsworth</p>
