CHI 44 Iron Guard is a professional-grade cationic polymer-based shield. The ethanol content facilitates rapid drying, while hydrolyzed silk and keratin provide a structural buffer against mechanical stress during high-heat styling. It provides a weightless finish suitable for fine or oily hair types.
The formula utilizes Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate, a heat-stable polymer that creates a film around the hair shaft to dissipate thermal energy. This is augmented by the CHI 44 Ceramic Compound and Hydrolyzed Silk. The silk proteins assist in reinforcing hydrogen bonds during the styling process.
Sections should be misted and combed through before heat application. Because the formulation may influence moisture levels in high-porosity hair, pairing this with a moisture-locking leave-in treatment is recommended to maintain internal hydration.
