This one really stood out for me, it does everything it claims, I used as directed; on washed damp hair. But I have also used it on day 3 hair and worked great on dry hair. I used it from root to tip of hair which made me nervous as all previous products I’ve tried made my roots heavy and feel/look yak. If you have very ling hair as I do then this is literally the product you’ve been waiting for your whole life! Can’t recommend it enough, a miracle for modern hair. If frizz is a concern, you can use a heat protectant spray such as the Briogeo Blow Dry Perfection & Heat Protectant Crème which is specifically formulated to not only protect hair from high heat but also decrease frizz by 80 percent — and it really works. Enhanced by rosehip oil, which is rich in fatty acids for frizz control and deep hydration, along with moisturizing coconut oil and strengthening argan oil, this heat protectant cream distributes easily and evenly on the strands to provide protection from high heat up to 450°F. While testing this heat protectant product out, we were most impressed by how well it targets frizz and softens strands but also found its lightweight consistency and absorbency factor supremely impressive. Even when running our fingers through wet hair, the product was undetectable, though you could absolutely tell a difference in the overall finish and health of hair once dried.

But we don’t stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we’ve awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square. When using this heat protectant as a styling product, we were particularly impressed by the way it decreased frizz and created an overall sleek and bouncy look. While we wish it promoted a little more volume for thin hair types, we thought that it worked well at protecting hair from high heat while also giving strands an extra styling boost. After using this product, there was an instantaneous shift in how healthy and shiny my hair looked. Living Proof Restore is the ultimate collection for restoring damaged hair.

What intrigued me the most about the Instant Protection spray from Living Proof’s Restore line, is that it combats the heat from UV rays and it can be used both before and after heat exposure, and with or without heat exposure simply to enhance shine and shield the hair from static and frizz. It seemed like a great all-in-one product, so I was ready to give it a go. I tried this product with and without direct heat to see how it held up and also how it varied on wet and dry hair. The Feel and Scent: Extremely lightweight and fragrant Whether you blow-dry, curl, or wave your strands, it’s nearly impossible to avoid the heat required to set the style and get that salon-worthy ‘do when using these styling tools (they are called hot tools, after all). There are certain things you can do to help alleviate the effects of high heat when styling, though. This includes applying a heat protectant product formulated with specific ingredients designed to provide hair with a layer of protection and combat some of the drying effects of styling with high heat. Jessie Quinn is a contributing commerce writer for PEOPLE and has written for publications such as Byrdie, InStyle, The Spruce, NYLON, and more. When covering the best heat protectant sprays, Jessie reviewed the PEOPLE Tested team’s real-world testing insights, carefully considering each experience and how they compared. She also asked haircare experts like celebrity hairstylist Christin Brown; Sharon Dorram, owner of Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger; and celebrity hairstylist and founder of the Beachwaver, Sarah Potempa for their insights on heat protectant sprays and what to look for when shopping for a heat protectant formula. As I’m going through perimenopause it has affected my hair badly, I’ve lost a lot of it already, every time I wash my hair it gets knotted up even after conditioner, I tried some pre drying sprays that promise to help to brush hair out without damaging or breakage unfortunately they didn’t work or made any difference to my hair. This one is excellent for my hair, I don’t even have to put conditioner on, once towel dried I spray from roots to ends and it brushes out smoothly, leaving my hair nice and …err ..yeah smooth:)Given how low-frills I like to be with my personal hair routine, I have to say I will definitely be repeating this style because it was such a small effort that went a long way, still looked natural, and I did it knowing my hair was protected all the while. Overall, I was impressed. It was long-lasting, and though I was generous with its application, I didn’t need to reapply in the days to follow. With heat protectants, there’s no need to use so many hairstyling products since many formulas have multi-purpose benefits. If you want to lower the number of products you use in your routine, Dorram says to look for formulas that do a bit more than just protect from high heat. “Some heat protectant sprays offer additional benefits, for example, some products may also provide detangling properties, frizz control, or added shine.” When looking for the best heat protectant spray for your strands, Sarah Potempa, Celebrity Hairstylist and co-founder of The Beachwaver Co. says it’s important to find one with flexibility. “This means that the product will be buildable, workable, and still soft to the touch after use,” she explains. Since heat protectant is simply there to protect the hair from heat without interfering with the hair’s overall texture, you want to ensure the product doesn’t leave behind a stiff and crunchy feeling. With this in mind, Potempa says to look at the formula’s ingredient list for polymers that are designed to give strands that luscious movement vs. a starchy finish. Reverse tell tale signs of over-styling, colouring and heat damage with the Living Proof Restore collection for brittle, dry and damaged hair.

The purpose of heat protectant formulas is to provide effective heat protection. “Look for a spray that clearly states its ability to protect hair against high temperatures,” says Sharon Dorram, owner of Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger. “It should have a high heat protection rating such as 450°F to protect your hair from the heat of various styling tools.” Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray is a featherweight conditioning de-tangler that delivers more than just an instant boost of hydration for dry, damaged hair to look and feel healthier.
