L'Oreal Elnett Heat Protect Styling Hairspray, 170ml

Product Information

Always use the lowest heat setting possible on your hair, because those super-high heat settings likely aren’t necessary to get the job done. In reality, the highest settings are typically meant for in-salon treatments with a pro — not at-home use. In addition to being formulated to protect against heat up to 450-degrees, this hair cream helps increase hair strength and flexibility and protect against everyday damage. Apply a small amount of product onto clean, wet hair, working through from the roots to the ends. Leave in and style as usual. This leave-in spray is part of the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths family, formulated to nurture your tresses through your hair growth journey. It’s specially made to work with a flat iron to protect against heat up to 450-degrees while strengthening your hair. Spray it on evenly, holding the bottle six to eight inches away from clean, damp strands before heat-styling.

Depending on the formula, benefits can include "colour protection, plus defending against breakage", says Sarah.Repeatedly applying heat to the same section of hair will increase the chances of damaging your strands. The AAD recommends that when working with a curling iron or wand, you only leave your heat tool in place for a second or two. As for using a flat iron, straighten your hair in small sections, so you’ll only need to pass through each section once to get it straight. As well as prep, technique is key. "In addition to investing in a heat protecting spray, you can try using heat styling tools on a medium heat," suggests Sarah. Reduce Frizz and Hydrate: This sulfate free, paraben free, dye free heat protectant features an irresistibly sweet, floral, fruity scent and is specially formulated for long, straightened hair This heat protectant cream offers 450-degree heat protection, 48-hour frizz control and high-shine without product weigh-down. Made with rose extract, the sulfate- and paraben-free vegan formula keeps hair looking nourished. Squeeze it into your hands and run through partially, towel-dried hair before blow drying. The only concern you may need to have with heat protectant is that over time, it can cause buildup. This simply means you don’t want to apply a hair primer for days on end without washing. You need to give your hair a thorough clarifying session every week or two (amidst your regular washing schedule) to get rid of product buildup. This goes for any hairstyling product really, not just heat protectant.
