Your April Fresh Fix
Preserve Your Length & Keep Your Hair Extensions Healthy
A heat protectant is one of the most important—and most overlooked—tools in your hair care routine. It should be used before blow drying, heat styling, and even when you're out in the sun, regardless of the activity. Applying a heat protectant helps defend both your natural hair and your extensions from breakage and dryness that shorten the life of your style and your length.
Using a heat protectant is essential for keeping both your natural hair and extensions healthy between appointments. It helps prevent split ends and breakage caused by dryness and brittleness from high heat exposure. Applying it before blow drying or heat styling creates a protective barrier that minimizes cuticle damage.
When it comes to heat protectants, there are a few reasons to consider more than one. You want to consider a multi-use heat protectant such as a detangler that doubles as a leave-in conditioner to help gently remove tangles and shields your hair from heat. The other you should add to your routine is a dry heat styling spray to protect against heat damage and hold your style longer. Here are our faves and each one protects upto 450°:
Leave-In conditioners:
-
R+Co BLEU F-Layer Detangling Mist – Use on wet hair before brushing or blow-drying. Detangles, hydrates, and protects with ease. Great as a daily leave-in.
-
R+Co BLEU F-Layer Deep Conditioning Serum – Apply to towel-dried hair before heat styling. Acts as a leave-in, heat protectant, and repair serum—ideal for finer or dry hair.
-
Blow Dry Styling Aid:
-
R+Co BLEU Smooth & Seal Blow-Dry Mist – Use on wet hair before blow-drying. Smooths, strengthens, and seals the cuticle for sleek, polished results.
Dry Styling Heat Protectant:

Using a heat protectant consistently keeps your hair smoother, healthier, and looking freshly styled longer. Don’t skip it—your hair will thank you!
