- Q
Up to what temperature does this protect the hair from? It's not listed anywhere which is weird for a product that's supposed to be a heat protectant.
- Asked by Eoness
- Official Answer By Paul MitchellThis product is made to work our Paul Mitchell tools and can withstand at least 450°F, as that’s the max temp of tools we manufacture. Please keep in mind that you should choose the appropriate temperature for your hair type while using thermal protection. For Fragile, Very Fine hair use between 250-290 degrees Fahrenheit. Fine hair uses between 290-300 degrees Fahrenheit, Medium-Textured 330-370 degrees Fahrenheit, Thick 370-410 degrees Fahrenheit and Coarse, Very Thick 410 degrees Fahrenheit.Was this answer helpful to you

Can this be used on damp hair as well? For example, before blowdrying or curling with the dyson airwrap?

- Q
I have several clients that are looking for a hair spray by Paul Mitchell or other companies that is truly alcohol free, paraban free, vegan and sulfate free and is not tested on animals. Will Paul Mitchell be coming out with an alcohol free version in the very near future in a workable flexible styling spray, and also an alcohol free version in a firm or extra firm finishing spray? Also many clients are searching for alcohol free styling mousse or gels.

Best Thermal Styling Product I've Tried So Far!!!
For quite some time, I've used another thermal spray prior to flat ironing my hair but never really fell in love with it because it always left my hair with a tacky feeling and flaky after using a flat iron. After reading some reviews, I decided to give this a try. This is a great product to protec...

I have loved this product for years. I went to Paul Mitchell the school. I am a fellow hairstylist. And I'm concerned because on the bottle it does not say that it protects up to 450°. It says do not expose to temperatures exceeding 120 Fahrenheit. As someone in the hair industry, all heat protectan...

Great Product!
Probably one of the best heat protectors I have used. It is hair spray like so it hardens when it tries, and dont put heat on it as soon as you apply or it will cause more damage.
Great for styling hair!
Hair Type Straight Hair
I have used the Paul Mitchell Thermal protection spray for 10+ years. I have fine, shoulder length hair with a few layers. I use this spray before curling with my Lange Le Duo curling/flat iron. I only need a light spray and the waves form nicely and I have waves for several days. Great product!!
Heat Protectant Hair Spray

I just got back into using heat on my hair after not for probably almost 10 years, so I asked my stylist for a recommendation on a heat protectant and this is what they sold me. I do think it works to protect my hair so I have no issues with that. I don't love that. It's really a hairspray that you spray in before styling your hair. I use this as I straighten my hair, but I don't really need the hold of a hairspray. It does definitely smell like hairspray too, which some people may like, but I'm not personally a fan of. I think it's a good product, but not quite what I was looking for with a heat protectant and just not the right fit for me. 
At least 10 Cans
Hair Type Straight Hair
This helps my very fine hair hold a curl. I've been through at least 10 cans of this stuff
A must have for those who use hot tools
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
If you're one to use flat irons, curling iron/wands, heated rollers then this is for you. Spray on each section after blow drying before using your iron. Gives protection and memory.
