FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which heat protectant is best for fine or thin hair?
ghd makes a dedicated Bodyguard formula specifically for fine and thin hair, lighter than the original spray so it protects without weighing hair down or leaving it limp. Fine hair burns and dries out faster than thicker hair at the same styling temperature, so a lighter protective layer matters more here than on coarser textures. Using the standard formula isn't harmful, but the fine-hair version is built to avoid the flat, greasy look that heavier protectants can cause on finer strands.
What order should I apply heat protectant and other styling products in?
Heat protectant goes on first, right after washing or before you pick up a hot tool, since its job is creating a barrier before any heat touches your hair. Repair or nourishing treatments from the rehab line are typically applied as a pre-styling step on clean, towel-dried hair, before the protectant. Finishing products like smoothing serum or volumizing foam come after styling is done, since they're shaping or polishing the final look rather than protecting hair during it.
Does heat protectant spray help with frizz, or do I need a separate smoothing product?
Heat protectant spray's job is shielding hair from heat damage, not controlling frizz, so pairing it with a dedicated smoothing product gets better results than relying on the protectant alone. ghd's Straight & Smooth spray and Smooth & Finish serum are built specifically to seal the hair cuticle and block humidity, which is what actually prevents frizz. Apply heat protectant first for the damage barrier, then layer a smoothing product either before or after styling depending on the formula, since each one is solving a different problem.
How do I apply heat protectant spray for the best results?
Spritz it evenly through damp or dry hair and comb it through so every section gets coated, not just the ends. Let it fully air dry, or blast it in with a hair dryer, before picking up a flat iron, curling tool, or hot brush, since styling over wet product can cause uneven results. This works the same whether you're prepping for a blow dry, a straightened style, or curls, which is why one spray can sit at the start of almost any styling routine.
What's the difference between a heat protectant spray and a damage repair treatment?
A heat protectant works before styling to shield hair from heat going forward, while a repair treatment works on hair
that's already damaged, dry, or brittle from past heat exposure or color processing. ghd's Bodyguard spray is the preventive layer, used every time before a hot tool touches your hair. The newer ghd rehab line, including the damaged hair repairer spray and split end sealer, is built to restore hair that's already compromised, so the two aren't interchangeable even though they get used in the same routine.
