I've recently started getting into styling my hair, but I keep running into an issue of having the worst headaches/nausea caused by the fragrance in every heat protectant and styling product. And I feel like the scents often still cling to my hair even after washing it out.

I'm looking for recommendations for a good heat protectant and a styling product I can use for when I want to curl my hair, that doesn't weigh down my hair or make it feel crunchy/sticky (and ofc is fragrance free or the scent dissipates really fast/is extremely mild)

For reference: I have fine hair, that is drier at the ends and oilier at the root, so I'm looking for something that's light but will leave my hair feeling soft. Texture wise, I have a mix of straight to wavy hair, that generally doesn't like to hold anything (curl or straightening).

The tool I'm using is the Shark FlexFusion, and I live in Canada, so I'd prefer products that I'll be able to find here easily.

Thanks in advance, and lmk if I need to add anymore info

I've recently started working on styling it (I uaed to just air dry and brush then call it a day, so I have no idea what I'm doing lol). I know I need to use a heat protectant but the ones I've tried so far (ogx and k-18) have way too much fragrance, and I always end up nauseous with a major headache. And the same with other styling products, like mouses and hair sprays.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable heat protectant/styling products that are fragrance/perfume free? I would also like if they don't weigh my hair down/make it feel stiff or crunchy.

Also, any other general fine hair tips you have would be appreciated! Maintenance, styling etc. I recently bought the Shark FlexFusion so tips with using that would be nice too.

For context: I have fine, shoulder length hair. It's slightly wavy (not sure where it'd fall in terms of specific hair type/texture but it's an in between of my dad's Irish curls, and my mom's Asian straight hair)
