For second-day hair, Gutterman stresses that you’ll need to use another heat protectant if you’re adding any kind of heat to your style. “This is lightweight, so it won’t even feel like you’re adding additional product,” says Gutterman of Living Proof’s Restore Perfecting Spray, which she shares is what she gives her model clients to protect their hair on set. Though it was formulated to serve as a conditioning detangler on wet hair, it’s light enough to mist through dry hair, too, where it’ll provide heat protection against temps up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Instead of silicones, this spray uses plant extracts like beetroot and artichoke leaf to protect the hair against heat and UV exposure, which Gutterman explains can also dry out the hair.

About The Author

There was a slight residue on my hands after I ran them through my hair, but that was more me than the product. I might have applied too much of it on my lengths and could have gotten away with using half a pump instead.) When I was getting ready to flat iron my hair, I applied one more pump to my ends. It was a reflex—I knew I didn’t need any additional product, but my ends are so dry that it's become a reflex to apply more product to it. Relevant Review: “This product is great if you want to get that really nice shine without leaving hair greasy. I love how shiny my hair looks after I apply only 1-2 drops on my hands and then apply to hair. It works great before I style with curling iron or by itself.”

Relevant Review: “This hair product is great at making your hair blow out looking healthy, soft and smooth. I have curly, fine, dry hair, so I also need to use a little Kerastase treatment oil after blow-drying, and then my hair is good to go. [...] I have tried countless products over the years, but find that Kerastase products are the best. Pricey, but the products are great and last a long time, so they are worth the expense.” Marissa DeSantis has worked as a beauty writer and editor for nearly 10 years. Her pieces can be found across print and digital publications like Bustle, Evening Standard, Teen Vogue, and InStyle. The bottom line is, if you’re using any kind of heat on your hair, you should be using a protectant. “Sometimes we don’t think about it because we aren’t flat ironing or round brushing every day, but even if you’re diffusing, that can cause damage,” says Gutterman. When diffusing, that means applying a heat protectant that’s suitable for use on wet hair, and when using a styling tool, you’ll want something that can be applied when your hair is dry. What Does A Heat Protectant Do?What stood out during this experiment was my hair and rough ends felt more hydrated and smooth throughout the week after using this product, than it has after I used other heat-styling products. With other heat protectants, my hair usually feels crunchy after two or three days, and I’d have to put in a lot of work to flatten my ends. Based on these two things alone, Elixir Ultime really impressed me. Best Heat Protectant Serum For Fine Curls: Design Essentials Agave & Lavender Weightless Thermal Protectant Serum

Similar to my twist outs, second day hair is always better than first day hair. The residue I mentioned having on my hands above disappeared when I ran my fingers through it, but the shine remained. I kept my hair straight for a little over a week to make the most of it and used half a pea-sized amount of the Elixir Ultime a few more times to add shine. Having a couple of layers of oil on my hair still didn’t make it feel weighed down. Toward the end of the week, I didn’t have as much movement in my hair as I did the first half, which was to be expected. In between workouts, showers, and not putting any additional heat on my hair, I knew it wasn’t going to look and feel like it did the first day I styled it. Relevant Review: “I blow out my hair so that it’s more manageable and wavy instead of curly/frizzy. This spray makes a huge difference in combing out my hair while it’s still damp and prepping it for the blowout. I use maybe five spritzes on each side of my hair, in addition to an oil treatment on my ends, and my hair is definitely much softer after blow drying versus when I skip the spray.”For finer curls, this Design Essentials Agave & Lavender Weightless Thermal Protectant Serum is as lightweight as they come. Ideal for using prior to straightening curls, the serum uses a combination of several silicones to leave hair with a glossy sheen. However, because this was formulated to be applied on dry hair, if you’re planning to blow dry your curls, you’ll still need another heat protectant that can be applied to wet hair. Relevant Review: “It’s very hard to find a heat protectant that is designed for use on dry hair. I needed a good one to use on my hair just prior to flat iron use. This one is by far the best I’ve tried. Gives good protection and shine.”
