Moroccanoil Perfect Defense

Product Information

A hair heat protectant is a specially formulated product designed to be used on hair before applying heat to it. Similar to the way sunscreen protects our skin from the sun, they form a protective barrier over the hair follicles to protect them from the damage that direct heat from styling tools can do to our hair. How to use: Just like your favorite hair oil or leave-in conditioner, these heat-protectant sprays are incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is spritz them through your damp or dry hair before you start heat styling. I’ll be honest: There is a lot of debate among hair professionals about heat protectants. Some stylists swear by their protection powers, while others can take them or leave them. The truth about heat protectants falls somewhere in the middle. “Heat protecting sprays minimize damage from heat—they don’t eliminate damage,” explains Brook. Having a dedicated heat protecting product is a set in stone way to ensure your hair is being protected, but more often than not, other styling products in your regimen will have a built-in heat shield.

How We Chose Having a heat protectant can provide a safeguard for hair by acting as a barrier between intense heat and fragile strands and shielding hair from temperatures up to 450 degrees. “If you’re heat styling, using a product is an absolute must—it creates a protective barrier between the hair and the iron,” celebrity hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein tells SELF. “I recommend using a conditioning product while hair is damp, such as a hair oil, leave-in conditioner, or cream, then using a heat protectant before using your hot tool of choice.” Mist evenly throughout mid-lengths and ends on towel-dried hair.

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: Lightly spritz evenly through your hair, avoiding the scalp. Be careful not to spray too much as this can weigh down hair. If using a cream or serum, squeeze a small amount into your hand and rub through all sections of hair.Application – heat products come in a range of different forms, from a heat protectant hair spray for easy, lightweight application to heat protectant serums and heat protectant creams which are great for curly hair.

Keratin – our hair is naturally made up of keratin so it makes sense to also put it into our hair products. It's made of amino acids which are essential for healthy hair growth, strength and shine. Look for a protectant with amino acids in it. When it comes to styling hair the best heat protectant should not be overlooked. Many of us enjoy the sleek end result achieved with a hair dryer or straightener or the springy curls and waves crafted with the twist of a curling iron, but the damage that heat inflicts over time from hair styling tools is often an afterthought. With heat tools having average temperatures of upwards of 300 degrees, even the most fortified strands are susceptible to dryness, weakening, and sometimes even long-term heat damage due to frequent styling.
