Heat Protectants For Hair

Use quality heat protectants for hair to protect your hair from damage and achieve smoother, healthier tresses. With heat protectant at your disposal, you can create styles you love without compromising your hair’s integrity. 

Heat protectant is a hair care product that helps add moisture to your hair while at the same time forming a protective barrier to help reduce moisture loss and damage associated with heat styling. Heat protectant can also help make your hair more manageable, less frizzy, and easier to style. CVS carries a variety of the best drugstore heat protectants for you to choose from for all hair types including curly hair, wavy hair, and natural hair--even specific to color treated hair. Some popular options include products from brands like Redken.

What Does Heat Protectant Spray Do?

If you use heat styling tools like flat irons, blow dryers, curling wands and blow dry brushes, that heat can damage your delicate hair. Heat protectant is formulated for all hair types to protect the hair shafts so that you don't have to worry about frizz or other issues every time you blow dry or style your hair. Many of these products do more than just protect your hair - they also help to make styling your hair easier with just one product. They can also help to reduce split ends and breakage by keeping your hair conditioned and hydrated. GSQ by GLAMSQUAD Heat Protectant will smooth your hair and help keep fizziness to a minimum. When you use hot tools, heat protectants for hair help to ensure that your hairstyle and hair are healthy and beautiful.

Best Heat Protectant Sprays

The best heat protectants for hair help safeguard your strands against damage caused by heat-powered styling devices. When you use a hair dryer, curling iron or straightener, you can create incredible styles. But sometimes all the heat applied directly to your tresses can dry out hair and leave it feeling rough and brittle. 

The best protectants prevent damage by creating a barrier between your styling tool and your hair. At the same time, the ingredients in products such as Nexxus Weightless Smooth & Full Blow Dry Balm add moisture to hair. This can help smooth the cuticle, creating a sleek, frizz-free final look. 

How Heat Protection Spray Works

Your hair is more complex than it looks, and it needs a little TLC to be at its best. Heat protectants prevent flat irons and other hot tools from completely removing the water from your hair’s inner cortex. Heat protection hair sprays, creams and serums are brimming with ingredients, including humectants and amino acids, that increase moisture and strengthen hair strands. 

Even better, some protectants are multitaskers, adding benefits, such as deep conditioning or shine, into the mix. You can spritz or spread on a product before styling and come out with a coif that’s nourished, detoxed and ready to impress. 

How To Use Heat Protectant

You should apply a heat protectant to damp, conditioned hair after you've shampooed just before using a hot tool like a hair dryer, curling iron, or straightener. While damp, conditioned hair will absorb a heat protector most effectively, you can also use heat protection hair products on dry hair. There are even some heat protectants available that are specifically designed for use on dry hair. Most heat protectants come in spray form. Heat protection spray is very easy to apply. Simply spritz the product into your hair. You may want to use a wide tooth comb or run your fingers through your hair to ensure even distribution of the product. Once you’ve applied your heat protection spray, you can either wait a few minutes for your hair to partially air dry, or just jump right in and start blow drying and styling!

When to Put Heat Protectant on Hair

For optimal results, follow the application instructions printed on the packaging of the hair styling products you purchase. With heat protectants, you’ll likely apply the product to damp, towel-dried or even fully dried hair right before using hot tools, such as a blow-dryer. But directions could change depending on whether you opt for a spray or a serum and if you're using the product for initial styling or as a refresher before curling or straightening. Here are a few more tips to help you get the look you crave: 

  • Apply heat protectant section by section. 

  • Aim for a light layer of product that feels comprehensive but not so heavy that your hair is soaked or feels weighed down. 

  • Comb the product through your hair to ensure even distribution.

Yes, CVS sells a variety of Heat Protectants in stores and online.
