Just like your favorite hair oil or leave-in conditioner, these heat-protectant sprays are incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is spritz them through your damp or dry hair before you start styling. Heat-protection sprays also lock in moisture, which can help improve the effectiveness of your hot tools, thanks to their frizz-reducing, shine-boosting, and split end-sealing capabilities. If you regularly skip using one before thermal styling, your cuticles will eventually become dry, brittle, dull, and break off. The damage is noticeably bad if you have color-treated hair, since your perfectly highlighted or dyed mane will fade quickly.
This thermal-treatment spray designed by CHI will keep your hair protected against every straightening and curling session. Spritz here and there from root to tip for significantly stronger strands that defy heat damage.
