Revlon produces lots of care and makeup products that are widely popular among professionals. Hairstylists all over the world use Revlon hair straighteners and curling irons, shampoos, conditioners, and thermal protectors. With that in mind, the UniqONE Professional Hair Treatment is a heat protectant spray that effectively works on every hair type. All heat protective sprays and serums contain ingredients that slow down conduction to form a barrier against heat. Silicones such as dimethicone are a common ingredient for this reason – they reduce the rate at which heat is conducted, and also smooth the outer cuticle of the hair to allow straighteners or tongs to pass over strands without snagging or pulling. Polymers and wheat protein are other ingredients that form a barrier against heat; wheat protein has the added benefit of strengthening the hair, too. Heat-protectant creams can sometimes feel heavy in the hair, but this one truly doesn’t. It has a weightless, silky texture that’s easy to distribute, and we love that a little bit goes a long way. It doesn’t feel greasy or overly slippy when you apply it, making it a great option for a wide range of hair types. After applying it to damp hair and then blow drying, we noticed a significant increase in shine, a real improvement in smoothness, and a reduction in frizz. One of our testers was so impressed by the shine, she mentioned that she was even able to skip her usual hair oil application after drying, while another tester shared that it helped to speed up her drying time. How to use: Just like your favorite hair oil or leave-in conditioner, these heat-protectant sprays are incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is spritz them through your damp or dry hair before you start heat styling. A heat protection spray or lotion provides a lightweight barrier between your hair and your styling tools, allowing the heat of your dryer, curling wand or straightener to do its work without causing damage and breakage. By helping the hair’s cuticle to stay sealed, heat protective products also keep hair smooth, shiny and frizz-free, while also helping your finished style to stay in place longer after styling.

The smell is strong but not overpowering. Normally when I dry my hair it is slightly frizzy before I straighten it, but after applying the Revlon UniqOne All in One Hair Treatment my hair already appeared less frizzy and smoother. When brushing your hair with the dryer, work in sections (especially if you've got a lot of hair), going over each section of hair in long, smooth motions. When you get to the end of a strand, you can curl this inwards to get a bouncy, salon-blow-dried appearance.In the same way that you wouldn't just sit under the hot sun without putting on sunscreen, you absolutely should not put a 400-degree hot tool on your hair without first using a heat protectant. These necessary hair-care products build a boundary between your hair and the heat, which staves off breakage, frizz, and all-around damage to the follicle. It really couldn't be easier to use a hair dryer brush. They're designed so that you can brush your hair with the dryer, just as you would a regular hair brush. The only difference is that they blow out hot air as you go, so your hair is styled and dried as you brush. Initially, I was a little thrown by the design of the Airflow curler. Rather than using auto-wrap technology – which curls your hair around the tong like a mini vacuum – in this case, you have to manually wind your hair around the barrel and hold it in place. To be fair though, this does mean you can keep a strong retention so that heat is evenly distributed. This spray is available in a large 250-ml bottle. It is a good choice for professional or for lasting home use. But note that you need to shake the bottom frequently during the application, which may be a bit hard when the bottle is still full.

There are four heat settings to choose from – including a ‘cool shot’ to secure a curl in place – which are accessible on the bottom of the styler. Unlike traditional tools, where your hair is placed onto a heated plate, the One-Step Multi-Styler uses hot air instead. While they’re more often thought of as a skincare ingredient, humectants—hydrating ingredients that attract moisture—can be super beneficial in hair care and are especially good to look for in a heat protectant, says Brown. After all, more moisturized hair equals healthier hair. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid are two good ones to look for. The Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray is a great option because it contains glycerin. Strengthening Ingredients We’ve all been there; sitting on your bedroom floor, fighting with a million different cords, aching arms and a sweaty upper lip, trying to create the work of a pro. It’s a stressful experience that has us (or me at least) grabbing the straighteners in defeat. If you have color-treated hair, then preventing even more damage to your strands and protecting your new hue from fading is probably a priority for you. This is the perfect heat protectant for colored hair because, in addition to protecting against heat and containing a blend of nourishing oils that condition the hair, it also contains UV filters.? Why does this matter? Because the sun can fade your color, so using a product that has UV protection can help you keep youryou hair in prime condition. ThermaShape can also be used on straight styles, but the added hold and humidity protection means it’s especially good for waves and curls. The spray helps reduce flyaways and frizziness, helping hair cope particularly well in humid conditions. So, if you find your curled styles tend to go a bit out of control after styling, this could be the product to keep your hair looking exactly as you styled it.I recently made a vow to myself that I would only apply heat to my hair once a week. (Trust me, with the amount of bleach it’s seen – and a questionable box dye – you'd understand my urgency). I introduced a heatless curler into my routine which completely changed my life, but on the days when I’m looking for a sleeker style, this is the tool I reach for. According to the brand, this means you’re exposed to 50% less heat, which is a mega bonus point for anyone who is looking for some serious damage control (a.k.a if your lengths are feeling a bit too crispy for comfort). But realistically where heat is involved, you’re going to get some sort of damage so be sure to generously apply heat protection spray too. My review of the Revlon One-Step Blow-Dry Multi-Styler It’s a little time-consuming, and clearly, my bicep curls need work as my arms started to ache, but in my opinion, the result is worth it. Once your hair leaves the wand, you’re left with a perfectly held, bouncy curl that looks like the work of a pro. With a little help from some hair spray, I was also impressed by the lasting power. My curls held their own for longer than expected, and I could even see a little wave the following day. Volumising Oval Brush Considering how well Olaplex does hair-strengthening products, we can’t say we’re surprised by well this nourishing and protecting serum performed during our test. After applying one pump to damp hair and then styling, we noticed how well it smoothed strands, helped tame frizz, and created shine. The ultra-lightweight serum consistency is easy to distribute evenly through the hair, it absorbs within seconds, and it leaves absolutely no residue behind. After heat styling, hair was left feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and not weighed down.
