Heat Protectant Sprays: Our Top Picks

Explore some of our top picks for heat protectant sprays, we have something for all hair types!

Don’t we all love both straight sleek looks and even those fun bouncy curls that come from heating styling your hair? While you might spend quite some money on that fancy straightener, make sure not to overlook the essentials that keep your hair in peak condition. The damage that frequent heat styling inflicts upon your hair is a common problem. With the heat level going up to around 220 degrees, even the most strengthened strands of hair are susceptible to becoming brittle & breaking. Excessive use of heat can strip off the natural moisture from the hair.  Heat can be especially damaging for bleached and coloured hair causing split ends and breakage.

A heat protectant is what acts as a barrier between your hair and the potential hair damage caused by heat styling. To safeguard your hair from heat up to 220 degrees and irreversible damage, a hair protectant is a must have. Not to forget, heat protectants have also proven to enhance the performance of heat styling tools.

A heat protectant suited to your hair type with the perfect blend of natural moisturising & protecting ingredients is a good choice before reaching out for your straightener or curling tongs.
