11 best thermal hair protection products

Review of the best according to the editorial board. About selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Modern life has taught us to take care of the health of our hair, especially since the global beauty industry helps in this by creating innovative care products. Women buy expensive shampoos and balms, thinking that this is quite enough to maintain a healthy state and the external beauty of curls, and do not think at all about their protection from the effects of hair dryers and straighteners. But styling devices are perhaps the main enemies of our hair.

When exposed to high temperatures, protective properties are lost, the integrity of the hair is destroyed, it becomes thin, brittle, and begins to split. Dehydration leads to the breakdown of the protein keratin. The use of special products will help to avoid a more serious problem – hair loss.

Thermal protection products are rinse-off and leave-in. The first include shampoos, balms, masks, which include special components that prevent exposure to high temperatures. Leave-in products are the most effective, as they do not leave with the water, but remain until the next cleansing. Sprays, lotions, mousses, foams create an invisible barrier film that envelops the hair from root to tip, reliably protects the cuticle from overheating, and prevents protein breakdown.

After learning the opinion of experts and interviewing ordinary buyers, our experts have compiled a rating of the best thermal protective agents in different price categories, which will help you choose a really effective product for maintaining the health of curls.
