Do I need a heat protector?

If you use a dryer, curling iron, flat iron or any heated tool, the answer is YES! Heat protectors not only protect from damage caused by these appliances, they often add shine, reduce frizz and make the hair look and feel healthier.

Heat protectors work by creating a barrier around your strands to protect from heat damage and to prevent moisture loss. The result is less breakage, split ends and dryness.

Some of our customer faves to use before you dry your hair are Moroccanoil Perfect Defence, KMS Freeshape Quick Blow Dry Spray, Goldwell Everyday Blowdry Spray and Kerasilk Repairing Spray.

As for heat protectors to reduce damage from straighteners, AG Firewall Argan Shine & Flat Iron Spray has always been a favourite and customers also love Amika’s Blockade Heat Defence Serum. For hot tool curls, some customers like to get hold with their heat protector when using a curling iron. In these cases, Redken’s Thermal Spray 11 Low Hold and their Thermal Spray 22 High Hold are popular choices.
