About

Restore Perfecting Spray is ideal for all hair types and safely formulated for colour and chemically treated hair.

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.”

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? Heat protectants are used to literally protect the hair from damage caused by any version of heat styling — This can range from blow-outs to silk pressing to the use of curling irons and flat irons,” Christin Brown, a celebrity hairstylist and curl specialist tells PEOPLE. “Using a heat protectant can truly give your hair a fighting chance when it comes to styling the hair with high-heat hot tools.” 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.

There are certain things you can do to help alleviate the effects of high heat when styling, though. This includes applying a heat protectant product formulated with specific ingredients designed to provide hair with a layer of protection and combat some of the drying effects of styling with high heat.

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.After 4 weeks of use, clinically proven actives were shown to significantly decrease dry scalp and flaking skin 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. 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. 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.
