More About This Product

Why We Made This

Our Heat Protector is a lightweight formula specifically made to help shield hair from damaging heat styling and frizz-causing humidity, while dramatically decreased blow-drying time. This special blend also uses ingredients like Sea Kelp Extracts and Tahitian Noni, to help lock in moisture and shine, leaving hair soft and smooth.

Caution: Please make sure your hair is always dry before using heat styling tools. If you use our Heat Protector on dry hair, be sure to give it a quick blow dry or let it air dry for a bit before using heat styling tools such as a curling wand or flat iron.

How to Use

First things first: make sure to use a hair towel to remove any excess water from your hair. Shake up the heat protector until clear and turquoise parts blend together, then mist directly onto hair evenly from roots to ends. Apply lightly near roots to limit extra buildup. Don't rinse. Style as usual.

We've Got Answers

How Do You Improve Hair Texture?

Great texture starts with great care. Keep your hair hydrated (that means good products and plenty of water), go easy on the hot tools, and give your strands some TLC with nutrient-rich oils and treatments. It’s all about consistency. Stick to a solid routine, and over time you’ll notice smoother, stronger strands that feel as good as they look. Healthy hair, happy life.

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?

The golden rule: wash your hair when it needs it. If you’ve got fine hair or sweat it out at the gym daily, every other day might be your sweet spot. For thicker or curlier textures, stretching it to a few days—or even a week—can do the trick. Over-washing can strip your scalp of its natural oils, so find a balance that keeps your hair feeling fresh but still hydrated. Trust us, your hair will tell you what it wants.

Should I use this product before or after washing my hair?

Whatever floats your boat. We love that this oil works on both wet or dry hair. For wet hair, just put it on and go (great when you need a break from too much styling). For dry hair, smooth it through strands after a blowout to calm frizz. Or get funky with it and use oil as a hydrating overnight hair mask: Work it in, and rinse in the morning.
