KEVIN.MURPHY Heated.Defense heat protection spray — 150 mL leave-in foam, shields to 232°C, lightweight detangling finish

KEVIN.MURPHY HEATED.DEFENSE is a lightweight leave-in foam that shields hair from heat up to 232°C/450°F while smoothing and detangling for all hair types.

KEVIN.MURPHY HEATED.DEFENSE combines heat-blocking technology with nourishing botanicals to protect hair from styling tools without weighing it down. The airy foam texture spreads evenly through damp or dry hair, adding slip for easier combing and a softer finish. Formulated with jojoba seed oil and hydrolyzed quinoa, it targets heat-related stress and mechanical damage while remaining free from sulfates and parabens. The product is cruelty-free and designed to integrate into salon routines or everyday at-home styling.

How does HEATED.DEFENSE protect hair from heat tools?

The formula creates a lightweight barrier around each strand that helps reduce moisture loss and surface damage when hair is exposed to high temperatures. It’s engineered to work with blow dryers, flat irons, and curling tools without leaving sticky residue.

• Heat protection up to 232°C / 450°F
• Leave-in foam that spreads uniformly for full coverage
• Reduces friction from mechanical styling
• Non-greasy finish suitable for fine to thick hair

Will it make hair feel heavy or alter my style?

No—HEATED.DEFENSE was developed to be weightless, so it preserves volume and movement while still offering protective benefits. The foam formulation dissipates quickly and adds slip rather than stiffness, helping styles set naturally.

• Airy foam texture avoids flattening roots
• Enhances manageability for easier styling
• Works on both damp and dry hair without build-up
• Leaves a soft, touchable finish

What nourishing ingredients are included and what do they do?

Key actives like jojoba seed oil and hydrolyzed quinoa deliver targeted benefits: jojoba helps condition and add shine, while hydrolyzed quinoa supports surface resilience and texture. Together they help maintain hair integrity under heat exposure.

• Jojoba seed oil for lightweight conditioning and moisture balance
• Hydrolyzed quinoa to strengthen and smooth the hair cuticle
• Sulfate- and paraben-free formulation for gentler care
• Cruelty-free standards aligned with salon and consumer ethics

How do I use this foam for the best results?

Dispense a small amount into your palm and emulsify before applying evenly through damp or dry hair, concentrating on mid-lengths and ends. Comb or brush to distribute and proceed with your preferred heat styling routine.

• Apply 1–2 pumps to short hair, more for longer or thicker hair
• Use before blow-drying, straightening, or curling
• Can be layered with styling products as needed
• Doesn’t require rinsing — leave in to protect while styling

Who is this for: HEATED.DEFENSE is a practical choice for anyone who uses heat tools and wants reliable protection without extra weight — from fine, delicate hair that needs slip and detangling to thicker textures requiring smoothing and heat defense. It’s also suited to stylists looking for a fast-absorbing, salon-grade foam that integrates easily into professional styling workflows.
