Product Information

Formulas that protect the hair from heat damage while lending other benefits earn extra points in our book, and this is one of them. The lightweight, cream texture is meant to be applied to damp hair before heat-styling to protect strands from temperatures up to 450 degrees. The formula also contains the brand’s signature antioxidant complex, plant collagen, a blend of nourishing oils, and lemon peel extract to protect hair from oxidative stress, moisturize, help seal the cuticle, and add shine. Yep, we've rounded up the top-rated thermal hair protectors in the UK, from the likes of ghd's Body Guard Spray to Olaplex's Bonding Hair Oil. And it's not just protection against scorching temps, they also condition, nourish, tame frizz, protect hair colour, help detangle and repair thermal damage – clever, huh? Our Pro Tip: We found it works better if used on completely dry hair. If used straight after washing, make sure to towel-dry thoroughly and wait for a few minutes before using your hair dryer. Once you apply it, it feels totally weightless in the hair, and it won’t transfer onto your hands as you’re styling. It helps to tame a bit of frizz and add a nice amount of shine, making it a fitting option if you have dull strands. Though we do wish that it felt a bit more hydrating like other serums and creams, it remains a great choice for people with fine hair or those that don’t need an extra boost of moisture.

While our trusty hairstyling tools undoubtedly transform our hair, they can also do so in less than stellar ways. Heat styling can be seriously damaging, which is where heat protection sprays are your best allies. While not as rich or hydrating as a cream by nature of the spray formula, we did find that it provided a bit of moisture. Dry ends felt smoother and more hydrated after using this spray, but not in a way that altered the texture or finish of the hair—we appreciate that it doesn’t wilt or flatten coils. And lastly, we really like that it has a light, fruity-floral scent that’s pleasant but not overpowering.When using hot tools to style your hair, it’s critical to have the best heat protectant on hand, no matter your hair type. “I’d highly recommend a heat protectant to anyone who uses a blow dryer or hot tools directly on their hair, to eliminate as much heat damage as possible,” explains celebrity hairstylist Alexander Armand, who has an array of celebrity clients, from Marsai Martin to Serena Williams. Best Heat Protectants Heat-protectant creams can sometimes feel heavy in the hair, but this one truly doesn’t. It has a weightless, silky texture that’s easy to distribute, and we love that a little bit goes a long way. It doesn’t feel greasy or overly slippy when you apply it, making it a great option for a wide range of hair types. After applying it to damp hair and then blow drying, we noticed a significant increase in shine, a real improvement in smoothness, and a reduction in frizz. One of our testers was so impressed by the shine, she mentioned that she was even able to skip her usual hair oil application after drying, while another tester shared that it helped to speed up her drying time. However, typically for wet hair: "Lightly spritz the spray products or run creams through mid lengths to the tips on damp or towel dried hair, after washing and before applying heat." advises Sarah.

Something else to bear in mind is your hair type as there are a range of hair protector textures out there. "Spray formulas are better for fine hair, but a cream works best for coarser hair. A spray is more evenly distributed but, if you have a cream formula, section the hair for the best cover," adds Sarah.

Heat protectant sprays are really convenient and easy to apply, especially if you don’t like the feeling or hassle of applying hair products with your hands. Plus, spray formulas tend to be more lightweight than creams and serums.

The formula relies on peach and rosehip oils to hydrate and increase shine, as well as squalane to add moisture and prevent future damage. We loved how well it absorbed into damp hair and worked to smooth fried ends, reduce frizz, and enhance shine. Though the brand recommends using a dime-size to a quarter size-amount, we recommend starting with just a dime-size amount and slowly adding more if needed—the formula is lightweight and residue-free in the hair, that is, unless you over-apply. All-in-all, we’re really impressed with this heat protectant, and we recommend it to anyone who prefers cream formulas and needs to tame frizz—regardless of your hair type.

Depending on the formula, benefits can include "colour protection, plus defending against breakage", says Sarah. During our test, we were pleased by how smoothly it glided through the hair, making it easy to brush out. We also appreciated that after evenly distributing it through the hair, there was no smoke, sizzling, or other signs of burning when using hot tools. Despite being a cream formula, it felt incredibly lightweight and never made hair look greasy or weighed down, rather it added a noticeable shine and smoothness to styled hair. And if you like hair products that give your hair a light fragrance, this one contains the brand's iconic Côte d’Azur scent which lingers for a few hours.
