Kérastase
Discipline Heat Protecting Blow Dry Cream
Best for: All hair types
After smoother hair for longer, that’s just a vision of health? This is the one. Straight, wavy or bouncy curls and colour-friendly too, this milk-like cream is ready to smooth over your locks ahead of any heat-styling tools to protect against heat damage, tame frizz and strengthen from root to tip. Morpho-Keratin and Ceramides are at play to replenish hair fibres and put a stop to breakage and split ends, meanwhile the anti-humidity and anti-frizz complex holds onto those flyaways.
The hype: “I use this on a weekly basis and it’s so good. It is quite expensive, but definitely worth it. My hair is very soft and shiny after using this and you only need a small amount.” - Gill, customer review

Davines
MELU Hair Shield
Best for: Pre and post-styling
Not just a pretty face, Davines’ invisible mist works overtime, taming flyaways and protecting your delicate strands from heat-inflicted damage. Enriched with antioxidantRosemary extract, it nourishes as it shields, leaving your hair impeccably smooth, shiny and impervious to static and humidity-induced frizz.
The hype: “Applied to damp hair, we left it to soak in for five minutes or so, as recommended. On first use the spray is as effective as any heat protectant, but after a week of use we noticed a big difference in the strength of our hair. A little goes a long way – we recommend just applying this to the ends of your hair, as it leaves residue on hair closer to the scalp. If you have thicker locks, this is the product for you.” - Independent
