Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist — 4.6 oz Lightweight Thermal Defense up to 450°F, Frizz-Reducing

Drybar Hot Toddy is a lightweight heat protectant mist that shields hair from heated styling up to 450°F while smoothing strands and reducing frizz.

Designed for use before blow-drying, curling, or flat-ironing, this spray combines marula oil, heat-activated rice protein and Fire Tulip Extract to defend hair from high temperatures and environmental stressors. It also includes UV protectors and a subtle Blanc fragrance with coconut, amber and vanilla notes so strands look polished and smell pleasant after styling.

How does Hot Toddy protect hair during hot styling?

Hot Toddy creates a thermal barrier that helps minimize direct heat damage from hot tools. Its blend of ingredients conditions and strengthens strands so styling causes less drying and breakage over time.

• Thermal defense effective up to 450°F (232°C)
• Heat-activated rice protein strengthens when heated
• Marula oil coats strands to reduce surface friction and breakage
• Fire Tulip Extract helps protect against heat-related stress

Will this spray change my hair’s finish or weigh it down?

The formula is intentionally lightweight, created to leave a satin, frizz-reduced finish without heaviness. It smooths cuticles for a salon-like sheen rather than adding buildup or limpness.

• Light mist disperses evenly for fine to thick hair
• Leaves a satin, polished look rather than oily residue
• Suitable for layered or textured styling without flattening volume

Can Hot Toddy help preserve color and protect from sun exposure?

Yes. In addition to thermal protection, the formula contains UV filters to guard against UVA and UVB rays that can contribute to color fade and dryness. Regular use before heat styling helps maintain vibrancy and manageability.

• UV protectors reduce color-fade from sun exposure
• Protects hair surface from excessive heat stress
• Helps hair look healthier and more restored over time

How should I apply the heat protectant for best results?

Use Hot Toddy on dry hair before applying heat. Spray evenly from a distance, lightly comb through to distribute, then proceed with your usual blow-dry, curl or straighten routine for consistent coverage and protection.

• Apply to dry hair before heated styling
• Use a light, even mist and comb through for full coverage
• Works with blow dryers, curling irons, straighteners, and hot brushes

Who is this for: Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist is intended for anyone who styles hair with heated tools and wants a lightweight barrier that reduces frizz, enhances shine, and helps protect color and strength. It suits all hair types—from fine to coarse—and is ideal for salon lovers who want at-home results while minimizing the drying effects of frequent heat styling.
