From flat irons and curling wands, to blow dryers and diffusers – there’s a lot we subject our hair to. Whilst air drying is a great solution to keep your locks from getting fried, we understand that there are days when you need perfectly sleek strands or a curled ‘do. However, if you are using heat you must use a protectant so that your tresses don’t get damaged. Ahead are 5 of our favourites.

1. Matrix Biolage Thermal Active Setting Spray

This non-aerosol spray is quite the multitasker. Apart from shielding your hair from the heat, it also adds volume and body.
