Thermal protection products are extremely important during daily hair care. Most of us reach for a straightener or curler just from time to time while we use a hairdryer nearly every day. A heat protectant spray protects from extreme temperatures as well as warm airstream from a dryer. That’s why I think we should have such a product in our hair care tool kit and use it whenever necessary. Check out TOP 3 heat protectants for hair and see which one proves the best choice.
What’s the job of heat protectants?
Heat protection products work by building an anti-heat shield leaving the hair more resistant to external factors and high temperatures. Thanks to them, the risk of breakage and damage is minimized.
That’s the most obvious and important thing they do, however, some of them also deliver smoothness, shine and defrizzing effects. It depends on the product you pick. I’ll focus on extra benefits while describing particular products.
TOP 3 Heat Protectants for Hair
ONE: Nanoil Heat Protectant Spray
Best of the best! I love and use Nanoil Heat Protectant Spray the most often. It’s extremely efficient. The 200-ml bottle has a spray so we can use an optimal amount of the product. Good news: it has a surprisingly low price! Let’s move on to the key thing, namely, its performance. The manufacturer promises protection against 430℉/220℃ so I apply it before blow-drying but also before flat-ironing or curling, and I can see my hair doesn’t get dry. I need to mention the most powerful ingredient in the formula – hydrolyzed silk proteins which repair the hair from within. This spray additionally boosts shine and smooths the hair, leaving it super soft and lovely smelling. I sometimes use Nanoil Heat Protectant when I curl my hair without heat. It definitely makes the curls stay lovely for longer. Without a doubt, Nanoil is the best out of the top products in my round-up.

TWO: Kerastase Chronologiste Thermique Regenerant
Kerastase offers a heat protection cream, not a spray, but it also performs very well. The way of using it is the only thing that makes it different: we need to rub it between the palms and spread it evenly across the lengths. Well, sprays win – they’re quicker to use and we keep our hands clean. When it comes to Kerastase Chronologiste Thermique Regenerant, it sinks in as quickly as spray-on products, plus a small amount is enough to evenly cover the hair. I warn you against applying too much because you may weigh your strands down easily. Let’s move on to the effects! Thanks to beneficial ingredients – hyaluronic acid or vitamin E – it protects against heat plus moisturizes the hair, adds shine and boosts volume. Despite its small size it lasts long, but the price could be lower…
THREE: Kevin Murphy Ever Smooth Spray
I’m sure I don’t need to introduce this brand to anyone. Kevin Murphy released a range of heat protectants. I’m sure you’ll find the right one. I chose this one because I wanted an extra hold. Apart from protecting from extreme temps, it tames frizz and helps the hair stay smooth for many hours. No matter what hairstyle you create, you don’t need an extra hairspray for hold (btw, it’s very bad for hair). I also noticed this spray leaves the hair fuller-looking and more glossy. Too bad 150-ml doesn’t last long. The product costs a lot but let’s remember it works as a heat protectant and hair spray.
The three products are the best heat protectants I’ve used so far. They’re heaven for my hairdo! Naturally, there’s one which excels, and it’s NANOIL.
Let me know if you use a heat protectant on your hair or is it something you’ve never heard of?
