 🌟My Weekly Pick: Redken One United All-In-One Heat Protectant

I use my flat iron & curling wand a lot! But my hair was really looking unhealthy. 😬 So I went on the hunt for a heat protectant that I could use even on dry hair, especially on days I didn’t feel like washing it.

This Redken One United All-In-One Heat Protectant is a lightweight spray that protects against heat damage, tames frizz, adds shine, & even works as a detangler. Bonus: it smells so good and won’t weigh your hair down.

I spray it on right before I style, and it’s made a HUGE difference — WAY less broken hairs, smoother ends, & a glossier look.
