I’ve rounded up the best natural and organic heat protectants for hair in 2024. A must in anyone’s hair arsenal, clean heat protectants will help prevent damage, tame frizz (they double as leave in conditioners!) and nourish strands with nutrient rich ingredients. If you’re looking to improve the health of your hair, toss out conventional hair products filled with useless filler ingredients, synthetics and harmful toxins. Those may be the real culprit behind lackluster, dull hair that’s constantly weighed down from product buildup. Instead, choose organic hair care brands that create high-performing hair styling products. So throw out your Kerastase and read on for the best natural heat protectants for hair!

EVOLVh Organic Haircare

Truly all-natural and organic hair care brand EVOLVh makes a number of heat protectants and has some of the most well-researched and formulated clean hair products in the market.

Their cult favorite Smartstart Leave In Conditioner Spray nourishes and strengthens strands with plant-powered ingredients while defending against damaging heat, pollution and UV rays. It features Rice Bran Extract, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Elaeis, Lecithin, Pumpkin Seed Oil and a grapefruit scent like the rest of the EVOLVh line.

Evolvh has a wide variety of natural hair styling products that double as heat protectants. If a spray isn’t your thing, then check out the EVOLVh Polishing Balm. It’s a weightless gel-serum that also protects your hair from heat while reducing frizz. There’s no feeling of residue, stickiness or being weighed down.

This is an incredibly creamy heat protectant that softens and detangles hair instantly. Rahua Hydration Detangler softens hair, smooths frizz, and prevents breakage and damage. It has some protection power through Morete oil which helps provide a UV defense barrier and contains Mango Sugars, Sacha Inchi and Rahua from the Amazon. You may either love or hate the particularly strong sweet fruity scent.

Ceremonia Guava Rescue Spray

Many of the organic heat protectants in this post can be costly, so I present to you a budget friendly clean hair care brand called Ceremonia. This new hair care brand that’s sold at Credo Beauty and Sephora is Latinx inspired and sources certain ingredients from Latin America (be sure to check out their hair oil too). While Guava Rescue Spray does contain Phenoxyethanol and is not the cleanest in this list, at $18 this spray still has a lot to offer for those looking for better options and affordability. Note, the scent is quite strong with “clean fragrance” not essential oils.

Ceremonia Guava Rescue Spray is a detangler and heat and UV protectant. Superfruit Guava protects against harmful UV, while Butterfly Ginger and Avocado act as a shield to blue light, pollution and heat styling tools. The Guava Rescue Spray protects hair from heat up to 450ᵒF / 232ᵒC .
