Cantu Thermal Shield Heat Protectant with Shea Butter was created with the purpose of caring for every strand of hair, particularly while using heated styling tools like flat irons and curling irons. Nourishing shea butter functions as a moisturizing and protective barrier in this pre-treatment, helping to prevent against damage from temperatures as high as 425°F / 220°C. It helps to keep your hair healthy while also allowing you to achieve the greatest styling results imaginable. It's also a fantastic finishing touch for smoothing difficult flyaways and adding a mild grip to your style.
