Kevin Murphy Heated Defense

The Heat Protectant That Delivers More Than Protection

Kevin Murphy Heated Defense is a lightweight heat protectant that does its job without loading your hair down with product. If you use a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron regularly and you are not using a heat protectant, you are aging your hair faster than you need to. Kevin Murphy Heated Defense sits between your hair and your heat tools and absorbs the impact so your hair does not have to.

Best For

• Anyone who heat-styles regularly with a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron
• Fine to normal hair that needs heat protection without added weight
• Color-treated hair that is especially vulnerable to heat damage
• Anyone who wants their heat-styled finish to look smoother and shinier

What It Helps With

Heat damage, dryness from frequent styling, dullness, and split ends caused by repeated heat exposure. Beyond protection, Kevin Murphy Heated Defense also adds a subtle smoothness and shine to the hair as you style, so your finished look is shinier and more polished than if you had styled without it.

How to Use

Spray or apply to damp or dry hair before any heat styling. Distribute evenly through mid-lengths and ends, focusing on the areas you style most. Then style as usual. No rinsing required.

Pro Tip From Our Stylists

A heat protectant only works if it is applied before the heat, not during. It needs to be distributed through the hair and given a moment to settle before you start styling. Take the extra 30 seconds to apply it evenly and you will see a real difference in your ends over time.
