Most Helpful Positive Review Heat Protectant LOVE! I'll be buying more just to make sure I have backup because of course, once you find heaven in a bottle, it gets discontinued. I've always had frizzy hair and just gave up on it. Wearing my hair down is making an effort because anytime I do, frizz fest! But using this product makes me want to wear it down more. I used as instructed and after the blow dry I flat ironed my hair (Nano Titanium-worth every penny!). I also used a straightening product after blow dry,pre straightener and the end result was magic. My hair smelled like I just came from the salon, it looked so shiny like I just came from a salon! Professionalism right in my own bathroom with the right products. If you're hesitating on this product, don't. Just add to cart! Pics I added were: 1) half blow dry, half straight 2) half straight, half curled 3) finish with curls.
Most Helpful Critical Review Smells heavenly but results are loacking I so wanted to love this. It smells heavenly, it is drybar's original scent, and it lingers on the hair, smelling luscious all day. It is also easy to apply and doesn't get too sticky. But it also doesn't seem to do a whole lot for heat protecting, esp when compared to B&B, Living Proof, or Phyto similar products. It does seem to smooth down hair a bit. I do not have chemically processed hair so cannot speak for that, maybe it has more of an impact on that. Would I buy again? Maybe, but only because of its smell.

This product honestly smelled like an old man's bad breath to me, lol. Like a man's musty cologne, but stale. Thankfully the smell did not stay in my hair, but I cannot use a product that I don't love the smell. I also wasn't wowed by what it did for my fine, wavy hair when I used it before blow-drying.
Smells like cheap perfume 1
Hbskfmw from Boston, MA
I thought a previous reviewer was being dramatic about the smell but it does in face smell like cheap perfume. I am sensitive to smells so had to return. I prefer the hot toddy spray, smells so much better but can old be used on dry hair.
Love it! 5
SW from Colorado
This is a great product. It's lightweight, smells great and doesn't make your hair greasy. Plus, as much heat damage that I do, this works really well.
Absolutely Love 5
Les from Kentucku
Love, Love, Love this product. Agree that a little goes a long way. I use this every time I dry my hair and it leaves my hair feeling and looking smooth and healthy. I have to say those who commented this product left their hair feeling sticky or heavy must have used too much. The smell is also amazing...that classic DryBar smell.
This product is just okay 3
Dysteny from North Carolina
Product is kind of heavy and doesn't really help with frizz. Since it is just a heat protectant, I can't really complain about the frizz though. The smell, on the other hand, reminds me of perfume that has gone bad. It's really strong, too. I can smell it all day. Kinda gives me a headache.
Pretty disappointed with an expensive purchase 1
Andrea from California
I really wanted to like this product but it failed me. This product leaves your hair dry, kind of crunchy, and not smooth at all. The scent is really overwhelming and not in a good way either. I wish I had not spent so much money on this product, I had never tried a Dry Bar styling product before and was so excited to try one but was very let down.
I like this product very much 5
EM from WA
I love the smell of the product and how it protects my white hair.
Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Lotion 5
Yaide from Miami, FL
After reading so many reviews I decided to purchase Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Lotion. I have to say that I'm glad I did. This product can be used on all hair types whether it's fine medium or thick hair. After application of this it doesn't leave or feel like your hair is oily/greasy. This light weight lotion promises to protect from UVA/UVB exposure which helps with preventing damage and discoloration. This product is free of Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates and its also cruelty-free. Hot Toddy has a light scent to it, I picked up a notes of jasmine, sandalwood and Vanilla. It also promises to protect from heat up to 450 degrees. The lotion contains artichoke leaf extract to prevent dehydration and preserve the hair cuticle in high temperatures. As far as how much should you use, I feel a little bit goes along way on damp hair. Start mid-shaft and work your way down to the ends before blow-drying.
made my hair sticky 1
lexie from burbank, ca
I used this as instructed and I did not use more than a pinky nails worth on my long thick hair and my hair felt stiff and sticky! anytime I would brush my hand through my hair my hands would have this sticky residue on them which I couldn't stand. it also made It impossible to brush through my hair with a comb.
Love this stuff 5
L Snowy from Massachusetts
I love this stuff. A little goes along way. Makes my hair smooth and eliminates frizz.
It is pricey so I always try to buy with a coupon when the ones come out that are good on prestige brands.
I use lightly on the top of my hair focusing on mid shaft to ends.
i have purchased this product for over a year and I love it. 5
Emma from Washington State

I would buy this product again if it were on sale. 4
Nurse Kelly from GA
I have only used it once, but I was impressed with the way it detangled and calmed my curly hair!
Smells really good 3
J from Charlotte

Terrible 1
Just Jen from Houston, Tx
This stuff is horrible and way too heavy. Returning for a refund.
Not for those with allergies 2
hairgirl from Montgomeryville, PA
Not a good choice for anyone with scent sensitivity, especially florals. Had to return product.
Don't like this product 1
Syl from Fort Lauderdale, FL
I don't like this product at all. I regret that I had purchased it. It makes my hair very dry after blow-drying. Maybe it's the texture of my hair. I don't think it offers heat protection which was the reason why I had purchased it. I avoid using it now. It smells really bad too.
I Buy This Product Again and Again! 5
Cassie from Indiana
I love ALL Drybar products!
This one, especially, is a must have at all times! I've used Drybar products (hair products and tools) for years and they've helped my hair so much. It's a noticeable difference! My hair isn't as frizzy. It looks and feels healthier, behaves more, and there's way less breakage than there used to be. It's baby fine so it breaks easily and gets heat damaged easily. These products help to protect my precious hair!
I've included images to show my hair.

Healthy Hair 4
Cindy from Artesia, CA
My hair feels healthier after I blow dry. I use it on damp hair and apply in sections. I have thick, shoulder length hair, and a lot of it. Product is scented but I cannot smell it throughout the day.
Love it 5
CollegeGal from Baltimore, MD
I like this product, the bottle states to use it on damp hair and I find it works best that way; however, you can use it on dry hair. if you have dry hair like me, more product is needed when dry. I have long, thick curly hair and I use about a small (dollar coin size) amount and run through damp hair with my fingers before styling. I use it once or twice a week and it lasts me about two months. I waited until purchasing my second bottle before writing a review.

Smells great and helps reduce / eliminate breakage!
Great product, horrible smell 3
Cokes from Nashvile
Fantastic product but the smell is so bad I'm thinking about returning it. I had to add another product to tone the smell down and then a dry shampoo after drying my hair bc of the smell. I was thinking it might smell fresh and clean. But it smells so bad. Some people may be into the smell but since I'm so sensitive to smells, I couldn't take it. Please change the scent. It's serious so bad.

Love this it's expensive but it's great for my thin/fine slightly damaged hair, doesn't make it greasy and keeps it looking smooth. Expensive but for me worth it.
I would buy this product again 5
