Your hair goes through a series of treatments to get that flawless look. You cut it, color it, curl it, straighten it and a lot more to make it presentable. However, little do you realize that your hair undergoes a lot of damage which it might show eventually. This calls for heat protectant sprays that act as a savior when you treat your hair with heat.

Hair is made up of keratin, which is essentially a protein. When heat is applied to hair in the form of blow dry, straightening or curling, it makes the hair brittle and damaged. Heat protectant spray can come to your rescue by preventing the moisture loss and adding moisture to your hair. It forms a protective barrier over the cuticle of the hair stand and resist the heat to penetrate deep into the shaft, thus preventing heat damage. It also enables the hair to keep its natural shine.

Choosing a protectant spray that contains important ingredients such as argon nut oil, obliphica Berry, coconut or olive oil is a good choice. These oils have nourishing properties that leave the hair smooth, protect it and condition it, without being too heavy. They also help in making your hair dry faster and retain its softness. The right product should be sprayed just before blow drying or any heat treatment such as curling or flat iron. Also, you can use cooler temperature to blow dry your hair instead of high heat temperatures. It might take longer to dry, but it causes the cuticle o close and makes your hair appear shinier.
