    "I like this one because it's really lightweight. It will shield the hair from heat damage up to 450 degrees. It helps maintain the moisture balance and prevents breakage from styling tools. It leaves the hair feeling smooth without any sticky residue. I also like it because I don't feel like I'm inhaling it. It's a different kind of pump, not aerosolized. It just sprays directly onto the area where you're applying it without feeling like I'm inhaling it."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
