10 Best Heat Protectant Sprays That Will Save Your Dry, Damaged Hair

Does heat protectant actually work?

If you want to maintain hair health and length, then heat protectant should always be a "must" when using hot tools. Celebrity hairstylist, Clyde Haygood told me that it not only works, but is essential for hair health. He stresses that using heat protectant spray is THE most important thing you can do to keep hair at its healthiest when blow drying and using other hot styling tools.

Outside of maintaining length and minimizing damage, heat protectant is also very helpful in preserving dyed and colored hair! If you continue to use heat without protectant, then you will not only damage your hair quality but also the color! So, make sure to shop these well-loved picks, and start using them asap!

• It give my flat hair so much texture and volume.

Kenra Blow Dry Spray

I love a good dual-purpose product, and this one boasts over 20,000 reviews on Amazon, so I'd say it's definitely a top contender for me. It acts as a blow dry spray, which helps to hold your curls or your blowout more firmly, while also protecting your hair from heat or heated tools. It dries quickly, gives volumes, and protects your hair from heat. What else could you possibly need?!

Chi 44 Guard Heat Protectant

This is a great option if you're looking for something a little more on the affordable side of heat protectants. I've used this spray many times in the past couple years, and it's plenty thorough for its price point! It has a very strong thermal protection guard that will protect your hair from even the harshest heat!

ColorWow Dreamcoat Spray

I have this spray, and it has to be one of my favorites I've ever used. I've never had a product keep my curls in tact for so long, while also protecting my hair and giving immense volume. This is my secret weapon to get bouncy curls — I will be a ride or die Colorwow fan forever!

L'oreal Paris Heat Protectant

This heat protectant is only $7 —talk about a bargain! Not only is it affordable, but it also has over 73,000 reviews on Amazon, so it's a pretty popular product. I've used this product a couple times and honestly really liked it! I tend to go for products that give me a little more volume, but this one is great if you're looking for something for straighter hair or solely a heat protectant!

Redken Quick Blowout Spray

Looking for a lightweight spray that doesn't make your hair feel heavy, or like it has too much product in it? I've got just the thing! I love this one, because it protects from heat, but it's also fast-drying so you can immediately go in with styling. It also gives your hair a stunning shine while it's at it.

OGX Heat Protectant

This heat protectant will give you the silkiest, smoothest hair while also protecting it from heat. At $8, it's an incredible deal for a heat protectant spray. I love all of OGX's products, including their masks, so I'd highly recommend anything from this brand!

It's a 10 Thermal Spray

Did you know you could find a heat protectant that also works as a leave-in conditioner? This product does both! It works to protect your hair from hot tools, as well as being a leave in conditioner product when you blow dry your hair. I've been using this product since I first started using heat on my hair. It's been a favorite product of mine for years!

Ouai Leave In Conditioner Spray

Another multi-use product with a leave-in conditioner in it! Ouai is a really good brand to look into for hair health. I started with one of their oils, and immediately became obsessed. Now, I'm slowly making through their whole product list (I know, I have a problem). This spray is a 10/10 for me.

Gisou Spray

Gisou is one of my favorites best-kept secrets for the most shiny, healthy-looking hair. I use so many of their products, and have for years! This spray smells amazing, but also helps to: detangle, protect from heat, and give shine. It has honey, so it's great for moisturizing your hair in a natural way, too!
