Product Description
We’ve mastered the technology of turning heat into a hair- health asset rather than a liability. This is what makes FHI Heat products the ultimate objects of desire in the hair care industry, whether backstage at a fashion show, or at an editorial photo shoot for a magazine, prepping the celeb in the stretch limo en route to the red carpet, or keeping clients gorgeous in the salon. The most innovative way we use heat to keep hair healthy, glossy, supple and shiny: FHI HEAT HOT SAUCE. It’s our exclusive jojoba formula, which penetrates deeply into the hair follicle when used with thermal styling tools, deep-conditioning and repairing past damage.

If you could only see my hair. If you could feel it. If you had seen my hair without Hot Sauce.
Okay, the low-down: I have very curly (think ethnic, curly, dry, coarse hair) long hair (past shoulders, but not uberlong). My thyroid disease makes it like STRAW in places, nasty and frizzy and rough.
I’ve used some good products to try and give me silky control–Pantene anti-frizz is okay. BioSilk is lovely. And I thought I’d use BioSilk forever–love the scent, love the result.
Then I bought a flat-iron (12/07) from FHI and I bought Hot Sauce to go with it. I used it and though, “Oh, huge waste of money” on the product. It just didn’t do what BioSilk did.
Then I decided to do something: Use twice as much as I had used. (The directions say use a small amount, so I used about the size of a nickel in my palm, which is what I’d use of BioSilk.) I used about a quarter’s size or so. I was afraid it’d weigh my hair down and make it look oily or dirty.
TOTALLY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE.
I simply had not used the right amount for my very dry, very curly, very crazy hair. With a larger amount, I didn’t even NEED the flatiron. No kidding. No styling lotion (I used to use Paul Mitchell). No hair spray. I just use the Hot Sauce, my 3 inch ceramic-ionic styling brush, and my ionic blow-dryer (not even a high-end model, a cheapie import). And my hair is silk. Pure silk. It’s straight, except for a nice wave at the bottom part where there is some layering. It’s smooth. It moves. It shines. I can’t stop touching it.
And my hairstyle lasted five days without frizzing or recurling. I just added a bit of BioSilk to my hair to add some smoothness and that lovely scent a couple days in. A retouching.
I expect that come the humid months in Miami (it’s winter now), that I’ll need something for more control against the damages of summer moisture to curly hair, but for now, I can say this stuff rocks like nobody’s business.
My hair is BEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOTIFUL. And my husband loves how it feels. And I love how fast I can dry it without all the steps and styling products and flatironing it to get “silky”.
Big, big, thumbs up to FHI Hot Sauce. Worth the price tag.

HOT!!! Is what describes the FHI Hot Sauce. When my hair returned after chemotherapy I decided not to chemically relax the hair to straighten. I am Afro-American and my virgin hair returned very curly but I wanted to straighten without chemicals to change it up a bit. I went online and reviewed the FHI Hotsauce as an addition to the flat iron process. I purchased the product which came from Folica through [...] and I received it quickly. A little expensive but worth it for me. I put it on before I blow dry and a very small amount on each section I flat iron and my hair is left so soft and silky. In addition, I wrap my hair every night. Thanks FHI Hot Sauce, [...] and Folica

I have tried other products before but they left me hair filmy. Hot sauce doesnt do that and has protected my hair from the flat Iron.

This product makes my hair silkier and shinier when I use it. I bought a SuperStar hair straightener some time back and it came with a 4oz sample of the hot sauce. I tried it and loved the way it made my hair feel. Try it, you’ll love it.

I bought this with my FHI pro 2000 dryer. At the same time, I bought a 2oz. bottle of CHI silk infusion to comparison test. First of all, I love that FHI’s formula is based off of natural ingredients like jojoba, whereas CHI’s first ingredient is a silicone. I’m not a die-hard advocate of natural products, but if they perform similarly, I definitely prefer the natural version. So one point for FHI hot sauce.
Next, the consistency of FHI’s is like a hand lotion. It’s very lightweight, which is good if you’re afraid of appearing greasy. It’s hard to overuse FHI, whereas with CHI silk infusion you have to be extremely careful the amount you use. But I felt with CHI’s oil-like consistency, it was easier to spread all over my hair. So one point for CHI.
Now the most important aspect, the results. Both FHI and CHI made my hair noticeably silkier, protected my hair well from the flat iron, but didn’t seem to make my hair much shinier. At least, there was no gloss finish.
Lastly, the smell of FHI hot sauce was hands down better than CHI silk infusion. CHI gave me a migraine once when I used a tiny bit too much! So overall, I highly recommend FHI hot sauce. It is a little pricey, but an excellent product!
