This heat protectant focuses on aesthetics and scent through a water-based delivery system. It is designed to prevent "grease-weight" on fine hair while providing reliable thermal shielding for temperatures up to 450°F. The composition is sulfateless and dye-free, prioritizing a clean-label profile.
Formulation Analysis
The formula relies on VP/VA Copolymer for heat shielding, creating a thin, flexible film over the hair shaft to maintain moisture levels. Cocos Nucifera Oil and Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil function as smoothing agents and lipid-replenishers for the hair surface.
Attributes and Observations
- Non-Greasy: Optimized for fine or thin hair types.
- Thermal Shield: Effective for daily heat styling up to 450°F.
- Formula Profile: Free from sulfates and synthetic dyes.
- Considerations: Contains Alcohol Denat. and Limonene, which may be drying for some hair types.
To maintain the hair cuticle, it is recommended to prep with a lipid-rich rinse before applying this polymer-based shield.
