Product Information

We created the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval to help you find the very best products for your life. We use our unique methodology to test products in three labs across the country and with our network of home testers to determine their effectiveness, durability, ease of use, and so much more. Based on the results, we rate and recommend products so you can find the right one for your needs. Given how low-frills I like to be with my personal hair routine, I have to say I will definitely be repeating this style because it was such a small effort that went a long way, still looked natural, and I did it knowing my hair was protected all the while. Overall, I was impressed. It was long-lasting, and though I was generous with its application, I didn’t need to reapply in the days to follow. After 4 weeks of use, clinically proven actives were shown to significantly decrease dry scalp and flaking skin Water/Eau/Aqua, PEG/PPG-8/3 Laurate, Dicetyldimonium Chloride, Polyquaternium-37, Isopentyldiol, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Propylene Glycol, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, PPG-26-Buteth-26, Alaria Esculenta Extract, Propanediol, Gluconic Acid, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance/Parfum, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Citronellol, Citral

Made to repair dry, damaged hair. Jessie Quinn is a contributing commerce writer for PEOPLE and has written for publications such as Byrdie, InStyle, The Spruce, NYLON, and more. When covering the best heat protectant sprays, Jessie reviewed the PEOPLE Tested team’s real-world testing insights, carefully considering each experience and how they compared. She also asked haircare experts like celebrity hairstylist Christin Brown; Sharon Dorram, owner of Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger; and celebrity hairstylist and founder of the Beachwaver, Sarah Potempa for their insights on heat protectant sprays and what to look for when shopping for a heat protectant formula. In addition to targeting frizz, we also thought the gel-cream formula worked well at holding our hairstyle and resulted in bouncier and more voluminous strands once styled. The hydration benefits were also as long-lasting as the product claims and left hair with a vibrancy we wouldn’t otherwise notice without it.

Gutmar Exactly what it says on the box Easy to use spray. Helps to detangle my hair with ease and without pulling. Starz100 Perfecting spray I have shoulder length dry hair, that’s prone to frizz and it was still frizzy after I used this product. Tried it twice and put more on second time but it still didn’t work. Rubbish. When looking for the best heat protectant spray for your strands, Sarah Potempa, Celebrity Hairstylist and co-founder of The Beachwaver Co. says it’s important to find one with flexibility. “This means that the product will be buildable, workable, and still soft to the touch after use,” she explains. Since heat protectant is simply there to protect the hair from heat without interfering with the hair’s overall texture, you want to ensure the product doesn’t leave behind a stiff and crunchy feeling. With this in mind, Potempa says to look at the formula’s ingredient list for polymers that are designed to give strands that luscious movement vs. a starchy finish.

What intrigued me the most about the Instant Protection spray from Living Proof’s Restore line, is that it combats the heat from UV rays and it can be used both before and after heat exposure, and with or without heat exposure simply to enhance shine and shield the hair from static and frizz. It seemed like a great all-in-one product, so I was ready to give it a go. I tried this product with and without direct heat to see how it held up and also how it varied on wet and dry hair. The Feel and Scent: Extremely lightweight and fragrant 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? When it comes to application, some products ask that you apply on wet hair and some products are just as effective with dry application,” says celebrity stylist Christin Brown. No matter what the application process entails, she recommends always following the manufacturer’s instructions on the bottle for the best results, noting “It definitely matters.” Some heat protectant formulas also allow for both wet and dry application, making them more versatile depending on your styling needs.

inkedbabe The product long hair has been waiting for I’m not new to this brand, but only use two products from the brand, both incredible. This one really stood out for me, it does everything it claims, I used as directed; on washed damp hair. But I have also used it on day 3 hair and worked great on dry hair. I used it from root to tip of hair which made me nervous as all previous products I’ve tried made my roots heavy and feel/look yak. If you have very ling hair as I do then this is literally the product you’ve been waiting for your whole life! Can’t recommend it enough, a miracle for modern hair. After using this product, there was an instantaneous shift in how healthy and shiny my hair looked. Start with our deeply fortifying shampoo, designed to gently cleanse hair while healing damage, making it look and feel healthier. Follow up with the Restore Conditioner for an extra quench of moisture. Then, while the hair is still damp, spritz from root to tip with our best-selling Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray, a conditioning detangler that softens, smooths, and strengthens dry, damaged hair, whilst providing heat protection up to 232°C. Comb through, style as usual and revel in glossy hair that’s full of life. With heat protectants, there’s no need to use so many hairstyling products since many formulas have multi-purpose benefits. If you want to lower the number of products you use in your routine, Dorram says to look for formulas that do a bit more than just protect from high heat. “Some heat protectant sprays offer additional benefits, for example, some products may also provide detangling properties, frizz control, or added shine.”

Reverse damage.

Susan Harness I would buy again Excellent product that protects my hair during blow dry and straightening Whether you like a barely-there feel or have fine hair and need a heat-protecting formula that won’t weigh your strands down, we recommend the Olaplex Volumicing Blow Dry Mist. Formulated with Olaplex Bond Building Technology, this heat protectant spray helps nourish and repair damaged strands while promoting a softer texture and shine. While testing this out, one of our testers found that it worked particularly well on their fine hair and, although it didn’t give off a ton of bounce, it still provided some lightweight volume. As I’m going through perimenopause it has affected my hair badly, I’ve lost a lot of it already, every time I wash my hair it gets knotted up even after conditioner, I tried some pre drying sprays that promise to help to brush hair out without damaging or breakage unfortunately they didn’t work or made any difference to my hair. This one is excellent for my hair, I don’t even have to put conditioner on, once towel dried I spray from roots to ends and it brushes out smoothly, leaving my hair nice and …err ..yeah smooth:) When using this heat protectant as a styling product, we were particularly impressed by the way it decreased frizz and created an overall sleek and bouncy look. While we wish it promoted a little more volume for thin hair types, we thought that it worked well at protecting hair from high heat while also giving strands an extra styling boost.
