Product Information

Ingredients in heat protectants can come in many forms and have to do with personal lifestyle preference, says Graciano. “However, there is a rule to follow: [Look for] fatty ingredients that are able to shield the hair, like natural oils such as coconut or more of a polymeric compound like dimethicone,” she says. Formula Most heat protectants come in a spray, cream, or serum form, so you’ll want to choose a formula that best suits your hair type and texture. For curly hair types, Bataille recommends applying a cream-based heat protectant right out of the shower and then diffusing with a blow dryer for full and bouncy curls.

For maximum protection and even distribution, apply the heat protectant spray to damp hair. Damp hair allows the product to spread evenly and penetrate your hair cuticles, creating a reliable shield against heat damage. When it comes to key ingredients, Philippo is a fan of argan oil. “It protects the outside of the hair but also strengthens and moisturizes it as well,” he says.

And those with processed or dry textures risk damaging their hair cuticles, making it brittle. “A heat protectant protects the hair by enveloping the cuticles in a protective layer, while also reducing water evaporation by sealing in the hair’s natural moisture,” says Philippo. When Should You Use A Heat Protectant?Heat tools for hair — like straighteners, curling irons and hair dryers — are one of the biggest culprits of hair damage. Although there is no way to totally reverse the damage, you can minimize some negative effects by applying a thermal protecting leave-in styling product. In fact, two studies published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science ( 1998 and 2011) have shown that several ingredients (which include copolymers, hydrolyzed protein and cationic surfactants) can minimize hair breakage when applied before thermal exposure.
