Our Take

A heat protectant cream for curlies who diffuse or use direct heat tools. Shields the cuticle from thermal damage while adding a light hold that helps curls set in shape during diffusing. Apply evenly to damp hair before any heat exposure. If you diffuse regularly — and most UK curlies do, given the weather — a dedicated heat protectant is a non-negotiable step. Protein-free.
