All about PROTECT

There’s a universal truth when it comes to hair care: hair always needs protection — from sun, heat, styling and chemical treatments. And while that fact will never change, what has changed is how you go about protecting it. Protective products have evolved away from heavy, sticky formulas into light, airy and nearly invisible treatments with HEATED.DEFENSE leading the charge.

Protecting your hair—and your hairstyle—is non-negotiable. You can skip wash day with dry shampoo or manage flyaways without hairspray, but when it comes to heat damage, there’s no quick fix. It’s cumulative and shows its effects fast.

Heat styling — the use of blow dryers, curling irons or flat irons — is one of the most common causes of damage across all hair types, which is exactly why you need hair products for protection. Excessive heat styling without protection can cause dull colour, frizz, flyaways, split ends and damaged hair. For this reason, a heat protectant is essential every time you style your hair.

HEATED.DEFENSE is your insurance policy against hair damage. With the ability to instantly add protection to any hairstyle, this lightweight foam works wonders on all hair types. The secret to its effectiveness is the nearly invisible foam formula that forms a protective shield around your hair and creates extreme heat protection up to 232˚C / 450˚F.

Going one step further, HEATED.DEFENSE doubles down as a leave-in treatment. From reducing damage to softening and detangling, this treatment + hair protector is formulated with sulphate, paraben, and cruelty-free ingredients making it a must-have for your routine.

The best part? HEATED.DEFENSE can seamlessly be integrated into your current routine. For best results, after shampooing and conditioning your hair simply add a layer of HEATED.DEFENSE before proceeding with your normal care routine. With this easy-to-apply layer, you can create a voluminous blow dry, cascading curls, or undulating waves without having to worry about impacting your style or damaging your hair in the process.
