We have all been there, time pressed and wanting to blow dry or straighten our hair quickly before rushing off to work. But there is one step you should never miss, and that is applying your hair heat protectant spray. After all, it only takes a few seconds.
What Is A Hair Heat Protectant Spray?
A hair heat protectant spray is a light weight, easy-to-use, thermal protection spray designed to create a barrier between your hair and the heat admitted from styling tools such as hair dryers, curling irons, and straighteners. By using a heat protection spray regularly, you will safeguard your hair against thermal damage, as well as minimising hair breakage, split ends, decreasing frizz, and moisture loss.
How Do I Use A Hair Heat Protectant Spray?
Hair heat protectant sprays such as RPR Protect My Hair are easy-to-use and can be applied on either damp or dry hair. Simply spray it all over your hair before blow-drying or just before using your straightener or curling iron. You can also use a wide tooth comb or your fingers to evenly distribute the product throughout the hair.
If you are restyling your hair or applying additional heat, remember to reapply the heat protectant spray to maintain ongoing protection.
How Does Heat Protectant For Hair Work?
Heat protectant products can come in many forms such as creams, oils, and sprays; with sprays the most popular, for there ease-of-use and lightweight formulas.
They work by:
– Forming a barrier on the surface of the hair and reducing the amount of heat that penetrates the hair shaft, minimising hair damage and breakage.
– Helping seal in moisture and keeping the hair hydrated during the heat styling process.
– Smoothing the hair cuticle, making hair feel stronger, softer, and healthier.
Can Hair Oil Be Used As Heat Protectant?
Hair oils such as RPR My Argan Plus Smart Oil can also be used to help shield hair against heat damage, while also offering the bonus of controlling frizz and fly aways.
Simply, apply a small amount onto damp or dry hair. Focusing on the mid-lengths to ends of your hair. Try to avoid the roots, to prevent weighing down your hair.
Hair oils can also help maintain hair elasticity and prevent dryness caused by heat styling. However, some hair oils may not be able to protect against extremely high temperatures as effectively as sprays such as RPR Protect My Hair, which will protect your hair up to 220 degrees.
How To Choose Your Heat Protectant
As there are many heat protectant sprays on the market, choosing the right one can be daunting. However, we have narrowed down our top picks for you:

RPR My Argan Plus Smart Oil – an oil-based heat protectant spray, that will help reduce frizz, as well as strengthen and smooth your hair. It is perfect for all hair types, Australian made, owned, and vegan friendly.
Look At The Ingredients
Make sure you look for professional quality heat protectants that contain copolymer, hydrolyzed wheat protein, and silicones which will help slow down heat conduction and distribute heat more evenly through your hair. Additionally, ingredients such as goji berry, argan oil, keratin, abyssinian oil, amaranth oil, can also provide additional benefits such as, moisture retention and strength.
Avoid cheap alternatively as many don’t form a sufficient heat barrier on your hair, and contain heavy silicones which can leave unwanted residue on your hair.
