        We want to be on top of our hairstyling game at talk times and yet, there are so many hairstyles to choose from. However, what we do with our hair necessitates the use of combination of hair products, substances, and tools, which have the potential to damage our hair over time. Heat protectants are an essential part of our hair routine because they serve as a buffer and protector between our hair and heat from the hot tools. While there are many items on the market that can aid in the protection of our hair, here are four of the top heating products to have on hand for your hair essentials. 

 

  1. Pantene Pro-V Nutrient Boost Heat Primer Thermal Heat Protection ($5)

    Now, if you want a heat protector that does the job yet helps you stay on budget. Pantene’s heat protector is your go-to. This heat protector’s mist creates a pre-styling feature that helps style your hair easily. It also contains a protective polymer to protect your hair from the high temperature of certain tools. It also has an amazing fragrance and does not feel heavy on the hair, letting your hair feel clean after the application.
