Common questions
Do I need heat protectant for low-heat styling?
If you're using any heat (hair dryer, straightener, curling iron), yes. Damage accumulates over time even at low heat.
Heat protectant spray or oil?
Spray for light coverage, even distribution, works under styling products. Oil for thick/frizzy hair, higher heat shield, slight weight.
How far should I spray heat protectant from my hair?
15-20cm away, saturating mid-length to ends. Avoid roots (causes oiliness).
