TOP 7 Thermal Protection Products for Hair that I Highly Recommend
I’m sure nobody needs to be told that hair must be protected while heat styling. It’s obvious!
There’s a question, though. What to use for shielding the hair against damage?
I’m happy to share 7 best thermal protection products I’ve used and highly recommend to all those worrying about their heat-styled hair.
Do you blow-dry/curl/flat-iron? Use these heat protectants and stop worrying about damage. I guarantee they’ll fulfil their roles.
TOP 7 HEAT PROTECTANTS FOR HAIR
#1 Nanoil Heat Protectant Spray
Nanoil’s spray is the best for protecting the hair against high temperatures. I got it by accident and loved it from the first use because – apart from ensuring protection – it smooths my hair and leaves it easier to manage. It’s a life-saver if your hair tends to get frizzy.
Nanoil Heat Protectant Spray is a combo of light protective substances against 430 degrees and repairing ingredients like silk-derived proteins. Such a combination guarantees hair health and beauty.
I love this spray for its light texture, convenient spray-on form, lovely scent, non-overburdening effect, full protection and nourishment. If it’s caught your eye, then you can buy it through www.nanoil.us – buy straight from the manufacturer to avoid fakes!
#2 Kerastase Discipline Keratine Thermique
Kerastase Discipline Keratine Thermique is a really cool heat protectant which combines hydrophobic polymers with keratin complex and ingredients which repair and protect the hair against heat.
This product is designed for smoothing and taming frizzy hair which tends to get static or coarse. It is also a heat protectant which prevents damage while heat styling or a simple blow-drying routine. You just need to apply it after washing.
I don’t like the thick texture and the way of applying the product – we need to spread the cream all over the hair evenly. Anti-heat sprays are definitely more convenient.
#3 Balmain Paris Thermal Protection Spray
Parisian-style heat protectant? That’s what you get if you choose Balmain. It’s one of the most noteworthy products – elegant, minimalist and effective.
I used it for some time and it was okay. It definitely stopped my hair from getting dry because of regular blow-drying. Beyond that, it has a moisturising and softening effect, plus heightens shine in healthy, strong hair.
Balmain Paris Thermal Protection Spray is enriched with silk proteins and pro-vitamin B5 – popular ingredients in hair products. Thanks to the combo, this lightweight product really improves the hair while we style it, not just protects it.
#4 Philip B. Thermal Protection Spray
I like cosmetic products which come in nice packaging. That’s what Philip B. Thermal Protection Spray is like. The black bottle and golden elements look really nice. Of course the effect is more important.
It’s a typical thermo spray which shields the hair against high temperatures while heat styling. It also has a delicate, beautiful scent and doesn’t overload the hair. Used on dry or wet hair before styling, it ensures hydration, nourishment, enhancement, protection and volume boost.
Philip B. Thermal Protection Spray abounds in natural substances such as mongongo oil, vitamin E, almond oil, safflower extract, and amino acids. Too bad it’s very costly and small.
#5 Moroccanoil Color Complete Protect & Prevent Spray
Among the top seven heat protectants, there’s one for colored-treated hair. It’s Moroccanoil Color Complete Protect & Prevent Spray. I didn’t try it myself because I don’t dye my hair but I read positive reviews.
This light-textured spray envelopes the hair with an aromatic mist. Unsurprisingly, it’s based on argan oil like all products from Moroccanoil. It’s also rich in sunflower seed extract and a long list of ingredients which ensure thermal protection, prevent fading colour and soften the hair.
Negative – the high price. Positive – two size versions; you can pick the smaller one if you don’t heat-style often. If you’ve got colored hair then this might be a good choice.
#6 Kevin Murphy Ever Smooth
Here’s another worth-checking thermal spray. How is Kevin Murphy Ever Smooth different?
The thing that makes it stand out is being heat activated. In other words, it uses high temperature to tweak the effect of our hair styling routine and cut its time in half so the hair is exposed to heat less time. Kevin Murphy Ever Smooth has an extra smoothing effect.
Thanks to innovative components, the spray controls frizz, delivers hold and smooths the hair. It contains tree bark extract and ingredients that are activated by a heated device.
#7 L’Oréal Paris Elseve Dream Long Defeat The Heat Iron Spray
I guess it’s impossible to memorise this long name! The spray from L’Oréal comes in an orange-and-pink bottle, and has a very attractive price.
What can you bargain for if you get yourself this budget-friendly thermo spray? Naturally, it’s heat protection, but, to be honest, it’s not the most effective guardian and doesn’t handle really high temps. L’Oréal Paris Elseve Dream Long Defeat The Heat Iron Spray leaves the hair smoother, very soft and shiny. It’s a cool effect and, given the price, we shouldn’t expect more, I guess.
The formula contains castor oil, proteins from wheat, corn and soy, plus vitamins. It also has lots of silicones and ingredients that I wish hadn’t been added.
