My Picks for Best Heat Protection for Hair


Blowdryer, curling iron, hot rollers and flat iron, whichever hot tool is the one you use the most, you should always have a heat protectant to protect your lovely locks. When choosing a heat protectant, look for ones that are lightweight, heat-activated, and packed with healthy ingredients. Many can be in serum, spray, lotion and gel. Below are my top fave heat protectant products that provided me with a smooth, radiant finish, accompanied by a nice scent.

Redken Smooth Down very handy while I vacationed under the South of Spain's sun this summer. I'll let Redken describe it since I can't phrase it any better, "Part of the Redken Smooth Down Collection (that promises hair up to 4X smoother!) this spray smoother will tame coarse, unruly strands in seconds. Infused with Redken's exclusive Interbond Conditioning System, it delivers a unique Ionic Smoothing Complex of Macadamia Oil, Candelilla Wax and Cationic Refiners that replenish oils, provide intense smoothing and create a long-lasting, humidity-resistant hairstyle."
Sold at most stores and hair salons - Retail value (depending on size) $14.95

BioSilk Silk Therapy is created from concentrated pure silk and fortified with botanical extracts and Vitamins E and B to help smooth and reconstruct the hair while strengthening it from the inside out, and add a high gloss shine. Sold at most stores and hair salons - Retail value (depending on size) $18.95.

CHI Silk Infusion Silk this alcohol free treatment promises silky softness, super manageability and unbeatable shine. Sold at most stores and hair salons - Retail value (depending on size) $26.95

Remember when using the serum, a little goes a long way to achieve that radiance like Mariah Carey's hair (which shines as brightly as that ring).

If anyone has tried or decides to try any of my picks, I'd love to hear your feedback. So please post.
