This versatile spray provides robust defense against temperatures up to 450°F, making it suitable for use with blow dryers, flat irons, and curling wands. The formula creates an effective barrier that minimizes heat damage while simultaneously enhancing hair's natural shine and smoothness.

The spray application allows for controlled product distribution, though careful application is recommended to avoid potential stickiness from overuse.

The formula incorporates advanced thermal protection technology that helps maintain hair integrity while delivering salon-quality results at home. Regular use contributes to reduced breakage and split ends, making it an essential component of any heat styling regimen.
