Moroccanoil Perfect Defense

Product Information

The goal of any heat protectant is to reduce the damage done by applied heat. "When we use heat styling tools, they strip the hair of its natural oils and proteins by breaking down the hydrogen bonds," explains Friese. Heat protectants act as a barrier that coats the surface of the hair shaft to give it an added layer of protection, allowing the heat to penetrate slowly instead of all at once.

Application – heat products come in a range of different forms, from a heat protectant hair spray for easy, lightweight application to heat protectant serums and heat protectant creams which are great for curly hair.To help strengthen your hair, look for ingredients, like keratin found in the John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray. If your strands feel dry, opt for moisturizers, such as hyaluronic acid, fruit and nut butters, like shea and mango, coconut oil, glycerin, vitamin B-5, aloe vera, and honey. How We Chose
