Why Use a Lightweight Thermal Protection Spray for Color-Treated Hair?

"Heat styling can cause color fading and extreme dryness. Protect your strands from hot tools like blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons with a unique formula that guards against color fading and heat damage up to 450 degrees."

Color-treated hair is especially vulnerable to heat and environmental stressors. A quality thermal protection spray not only shields your hair from high temperatures but also helps lock in color, fight frizz, and add shine—all in a lightweight, non-sticky formula.
