Contains denatured alcohol

What the gurus are saying

Fans keep coming back to the fine, diffuse mist and light tropical scent, which doesn't linger long, and to how well it guards hair on blow-dry days. However, the critics point to denatured alcohol in the formula, and anyone who avoids fragrance may want to skip it, since it contains perfume. Most of the praise comes from a handful of takes, one of them sponsored, so there is still a fair bit to learn.

"This is from Moroccanoil. They have this heat protectant spray. I'm thinking of getting some shampoo and conditioner from this line because I freaking love the smell. Back in the day when I had a relaxer, I loved Moroccanoil, so I might get [...] some shampoo and conditioner from them. But I like this heat protectant. It protects up to 450°F, or 230°C."
