Our Take
A water-based heat and environmental protectant built on aloe vera and hyaluronic acid. Shields curls from diffuser and heat tool damage up to 230°C, reduces protein loss and breakage, and forms a light barrier against air pollutants. The Caesalpinia spinosa (tara) extract contributes natural hold and a subtle shine boost. It absorbs completely without residue — most heat protectants leave fine curls feeling coated, but this one doesn't interfere with your styling products. A sensible pre-diffuse step for any curl type. The scent comes from a blend of bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin, rosemary, patchouli, and palmarosa essential oils. Protein-free.
