Performance and Results
The heat-activated complex springs into action when exposed to hot tools, providing active protection exactly when needed. Hair emerges from styling smoother, shinier, and more resilient. Users report noticeably less frizz and fewer split ends.
Texture and Application
The spray has a fine mist that distributes evenly without soaking hair or leaving it wet and heavy. The consistency is lightweight and absorbs quickly, allowing you to proceed with styling almost immediately.
Formula and Ingredients
The formula contains Glycerin for moisture retention, Amodimethicone for smoothing, and a UV filter (Benzophenone-4) to protect against sun damage. Panthenol strengthens hair. Safe for color-treated hair.
Comparison with Competition
TRESemme Heat Defence offers excellent value compared to salon-priced heat protectants. The 450F protection level matches or exceeds many premium competitors. The UV filter inclusion sets it apart from basic heat protectants.
