A super common fragrance ingredient that can be found among others in lavender, ylang-ylang, bergamot or jasmine.

A mildly viscous, amber-colored liquid with fatty odor, made from Castor Oil and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The brand behind some of our favourite styling tools has a collection of styling products that shouldn’t be overlooked, including this gem. They mention that it leaves their hair silky smooth, perfect for frizzy hair and that it smells amazing. Heat protectants work by coating the hair with a protective layer of oils (like coconut oil and sunflower oil) and/or silicones (like dimethicone or cyclomethicone), says Bataille. If your hair is already working with some damage (like dehydration and breakage), get a spray that strengthens your hair to prevent any future issues.

Without, the high temperature will dehydrate the cuticle, weakening strands, leading to dry, dull, frizzy hair that’s more prone to breakage and fallout. On application, it seals the cuticle creating a protective layer around each strand that repels moisture from the air that causes it to pouf, as well as creating a protective shield for when heat is applied. From straightening to curling (and now we’re even crimping again) our hair has never had it better when it comes to easy at-home hairstyling. Not all heat protectants provide the same level of heat protection, so you want to check either the product label or online description for the exact degrees of protection a formula provides before you purchase.
