Moroccanoil Perfect Defense

Product Information

Soften and easily detangle hair with this milky formula that also strengthens hair with beta carotene-filled Roucou oil. They sure do! A thermal protector works by coating hair strands with a thin film that acts as a shield between your hair and direct heat. This shield distributes the heat more evenly so that your hair heats up gently, rather than all at once, which lessens the risk of damage. Here are some of the major benefits: Use your hair styling tool on a low setting and don't spend too much time on one section to avoid damage. Friese notes, "Different hair textures require various temperatures to achieve a desired look." Certain oils—like coconut oil or avocado oil, which you may already have in your pantry at home—can effectively be used in a DIY formula to guard strands from applied heat, but the biggest caution to take note of is each oil's smoke point. "Each oil has a different smoking point (the temperature in which the oil burns)," says Friese. If this smoke point is exceeded and your DIY protectant formula is used with a hot tool at too high a temperature, the oil will start to burn, and you could end up with extremely damaged, fried hair.

Spray throughout clean, damp hair. Comb to distribute evenly and blow-dry in sections to activate. Follow with a flat iron for enhanced anti-frizz benefits. CHI’s heat-protection spray is incredible for the price. It contains several vitamins and proteins to rehydrate my strands without causing gross product buildup. I also love that 44 Iron Guard works with all hair types — my friends with straight and wavy hair love it, and I find it works well on my natural hair,” says Saunders. Protect and plump curls with this spray that boasts crambe abyssinica seed oil, sunflower oil, and jojoba oil to nourish before you begin heat styling.

Care: High-performing ingredients coat the hair fiber, providing optimal care to help strengthen and enhance manageability for frizz-resistant hair. Secondly, it can fade the colour from hair and leave it dull and without a sheen. Thirdly, regular heating of hair will weaken it over time and cause little holes to develop in the protective outer layer of the strand (known as the cuticle) which leads to uneven texture and, you guessed it – more breakage! The key to keeping frizz under control is to hydrate and nourish strands. IGK 4-in-1 Prep Spray not only adds softness and shine with spirulina protein and coconut oil, but it gives the hair slip for an easy, tangle-free blowout.

You can safely crank up the temperature with Paul Mitchell's heat-protection spray. This one works best on dry hair before heat-styling with a curling iron or straightener. It provides flexible hold to both protect and keep your style intact. A heat protectant product should be applied right before you dry or style your hair for best results and maximum protection. Typically, the product will last around 4 hours and after that, you'll need to re-apply if you plan on styling your hair again to avoid potentially damaging the strands. Style: Heat-activated cross-linking reaction tightly envelops strands, instantly smoothing the hair fiber and helping to set bonds in place for a frizz-free finish.
