Heat Protector

Discover all heat-protecting products on keune.com. Do you regularly use a blow-dryer, flat iron, or curling iron? Then you want shine—without split ends. Many of our sprays, creams, leave-ins, and stylers protect your hair from high temperatures while keeping it smooth, strong, and frizz-free.

Heat protection is an invisible, heat-activated layer you apply to your hair before styling. It helps reduce moisture loss during blow-drying or heat styling and prevents breakage and split ends. It also helps minimize color fading while adding shine and reducing frizz. Always apply it before using a heat tool such as a blow-dryer, flat iron, or curling iron.

Yes, if you use heat tools, you want to shield your hair from damage. Without heat protection, hair quickly loses moisture and the cuticle becomes rough. The result: dull, frizzy hair that breaks more easily and fades faster.

Even if you don’t style often, opt for a lightweight leave-in to protect your hair from unexpected styling moments and exposure to UV or air pollution.

• Heat-protecting spray: lightweight and easy to distribute. Ideal for fine to normal hair and for use with flat irons or curling irons.

• Cream or lotion with heat protection: tames frizz and adds shine. Great for dry, frizzy, or thick hair

• Heat-protecting mousse: adds volume and protection. Perfect for blow-drying with a round brush.

• Heat-protecting leave-in: long-lasting hydration and detangling with built-in protection. Ideal for color-treated, curly, damaged, or frizzy hair.

• Heat-protecting serum: seals lengths and ends for shine and frizz control. Great for porous or split ends and as a finishing touch after styling.

Tip: use the filters at the top of the page to select your hair type and desired result.

The best heat protector depends on your hair type, your desired result, and the heat tool you use. When choosing a product, check the listed temperature protection, the promised results, and the ingredients.

1. Clear temperature claim: Make sure the product clearly states it offers heat protection, for example up to 200–230 °C (392–446 °F), depending on the tool you use.

2. Hair type match

   • Fine hair: Use a lightweight spray.

   • Thick/curly/frizzy hair: Choose a nourishing cream or lotion.

3. Desired result: are you looking for shine, volume, frizz control, or color protection?

4. Styling routine

   • Blow-dry often? Then use a mousse or nourishing leave-in.

   • Use a flat iron or curling iron regularly? Choose a spray that distributes evenly through the hair.

5. Protective ingredients: Look for film formers, protective silicones, (vegan) proteins/amino acids, panthenol/glycerin, and UV filters.
