Irrespective of whether you use heat styling tools daily or occasionally, it’s essential to use a heat protectant spray prior to styling your hair. The heat emitted from the tools can severely damage your hair and leave them looking dry and dull. Using a heat protectant spray will minimise the damage and keep your hair looking shiny and healthy. Need more reasons to give this product a try? We give you three.

Hair protectant sprays contain silicones, which helps form a layer of protection between the heat and the cuticles of your hair. I know what you’re thinking — aren’t silicones bad? Nope, not these. Silicones such as dimethicone copolyol and stearoxy dimethicone are water-soluble and do not have any adverse effects on your hair.

The protective layer formed by a heat protectant spray such as the TRESemme Heat Defence Styling Spray-Care & Protect also acts like a shield that prevents oxidative damage. It helps in fighting off free radicals as well as providing some protection against harmful UV rays of the sun.

 

03. Boosts and traps in moisture

03. Boosts and traps in moisture

Heat protectants act like really lightweight conditioners for your hair, and deliver it with a boost of moisture. This helps in minimizing the appearance of dry, brittle and frizzy ends, thereby making your hair appear a lot more conditioned, nourished and healthy.

They also help seal in the moisture received from serums and conditioners. Due to this, those products work at a deeper level and end up showing better results.
