Question

I would like to confirm the mixing steps for a cream formulation. Additionally, I want to know if heat protection sprays are effective in protecting hair from styling tools like curling irons and straighteners. How do these sprays work, and what are the recommended effective ingredients for them?

Answer

Regarding your revised cream formulation method:
The mixing steps you described are correct.

Regarding the heat protection spray for hair:
Yes, heat protection sprays do help protect hair from heat damage caused by styling tools like curling irons or straighteners.

How they work:
These sprays typically contain water and moisturizing ingredients. When heat is applied to the hair, these ingredients penetrate the hair shaft, helping to maintain moisture and prevent damage.

Effective ingredients for heat protection sprays include:

  • Protein group (e.g., Hydro Protein)
  • Moisturizers suitable for hair (e.g., Vitamin B5, MOIST72)
  • Pure Keratin

Ingredients that primarily coat the hair, such as silicone or WaterLock, are generally not effective for heat protection in this context.
