Perfect protection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this kerastase protecting spray that sort of laminates the hair inorder to protect it from the heat of blow drying. It gives the hair smoother and glossy finish. I don't.style my.hair without applying it first to make sure my hair is safe from damage caused by frequent styling and blow drying.

Effective heat protectant that combats frizz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this spray was very effective at protecting my hair from heat — I blow dry my hair every night and I feel like this was a very effective product in insulating my hair from heat and damage. My hair was noticeably less frizzy after use. I’m not sure I’ve used it enough to gauge whether or not it’s been strengthening my hair, but overall I love the milky texture and subtle scent, and find the heat protectant capability very effective.

Smells like a professional salon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have curly hair, sometimes I blow dry but worry that it should not make it more dry. But kerastase heat protecting spray saves me. It spreads smoothly and smells like a professional salon. I use it on dried hair or even damp hair. I’m loving it.

Very nice product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this stuff only wash my hair once a week and I feel like this had a really helped my hair. The scent is nice and the texture is light so it doesn’t weigh down my hair. You don’t need alot so it will last you a long time so it’s definitely worth every penny. The packaging is study and easy to use! I highly recommend trying this out!

Leave In with Heat Protection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was totally surprised by this product! It clearly says on the bottle that it’s meant to be used as a heat protector for blow drying. I love the light scent and the fact that I can just spray it on as a leave-in conditioner without weighing my hair down. I’m definitely adding this to my hair collection because of how versatile it is! I use it as just a leave in sometimes to help retain my hair’s moisture

Solid heat protectant for wet hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to try this product a good amount of times before making my review. TLDR: this is a solid heat protectant.
Background: I have thick, long undyed hair. My scalp tends to be on the oilier side and I have to wash my hair 4x/week because of that and my workout schedule.
The good: this heat protectant is great when drying my hair when wet or damp. My hair comes out feeling light, bouncy, and shiny. The scent is not overwhelming
Where I noticed I don’t absolutely love the end product is when I’m styling my hair when it’s already dry. I feel like my oiliness is accentuated and even made a little worse and i have to end up using dry shampoo
So bottom line, if you have oily hair, this product is great when styling your hair from wet/damp, but you may want to look for another option if you often style your hair from dry.

Thank you so much for your thorough and insightful review! We're delighted to hear that our product serves as a solid heat protectant, making your hair feel light, bouncy, and shiny when styled from wet or damp.

Not so great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the smell and the bottle, absolutely obsessed with both. Having used Kerastase before I had great hopes this product would be as amazing as it seems. Unfortunately, I’ve seen better results for a fraction of the price. Yes it gets the job done and makes your hair smell amazing but It feels very dry, I can’t imagine how it would help already damaged hair being so drying, this being said, it absolutely does not help reduce frizz. I have thick long wavy hair and it just didn’t do what it was supposed to for me. Now it says it’s for damaged hair and my hair is very healthy but even then if it didn’t do it for me i don’t think it would help anyone’s actually damaged and brittle hair. Can’t say I’d reach for this in my hair routine, it’s just not giving the results it should and especially not for the price it’s selling for.

Better than my usual protectant
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My staple heat protectant isn’t in this type of spray, so I was very curious to try this product that was sent to me for review purposes. I frequently see this on TikTok, to make it short I am now adding a new staple product to my rotation. The price range is fine by me, I don’t mind spending on products that I think are worth it. This is worth it. I can actually tell a difference in heat protectant vs the other product I use. I’m seeing less damage on my tips. Usually when I use heat every single day for like a month, my tips(only the tips) feel a bit crunchy. Once I give them some love and rest, back to normal. I haven’t felt that same crunchiness since using this new product. Another plus..I am sensitive to smells, however this product smells delicious and actually covers up the smell of no wash days lol. I can understand the hype now. I’m glad I was able to try it before purchasing myself.

I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks now and so far so good. My hair is so easy to brush after spraying this on my hair before blow drying. It helps keep my little new growth crazy stubborn stray hairs down which is HARD for a product to get done! I recommend this product to anyone looking to help strengthen, smell good, dry damaged hair.

Stronger, Softer Hair That Survives the Heat!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Genesis Defense Thermique Heat Protecting Spray from Kérastase, and it has made a noticeable difference in my hair. The spray is really lightweight, so it doesn’t make my hair greasy or heavy. I usually apply it before blow-drying or straightening, and it gives my hair a smooth, silky finish with less frizz that actually lasts all day.
What I like most is that it protects my hair from heat styling while also keeping it nourished and shiny. My hair feels stronger, looks healthier, and I’ve noticed fewer split ends and less breakage when brushing. It also helps keep my hair conditioned and soft, which is a big plus since I style it often.
Overall, it’s an easy step in my routine that makes a big difference—especially if you want to keep your hair protected, smooth, and less prone to damage from daily styling.

Leaves my hair soft and smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed using this heat protecting spray. I have naturally curly hair so it takes some heat abuse from time to time when I decide to straighten or blow-dry it. This spray is very easy to use and seems to evenly distribute a fine mist over my hair.
This spray has a nice scent that isn't too overpowering for me. It feels very lightweight, even when I feel like I've used a lot. After using my heat source, where it be my hairdryer or straightener, my hair is left soft and smooth with a bit of shine.
I'm really enjoying this product. This has quickly become my go-to spray to help protect my hair from harmful heat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m always looking for ways to help the health of my hair due to being a natural brunette and getting highlights to go lighter. This is such a great all in one product. It helps with frizz, but the main benefit is the heat protection, which leaves a soft shine that doesn’t make my hair look oily. I like the spray bottle because I can also spray it into my hands and then apply it to my hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I love hair protection products. So I’m glad I got to try this one I have heard so many good things about it. However, I have a little different take on it. Although it makes your hair soft and shiny the small of it is not pleasant. It smells like perm solution. I really do not like the scent. It’s a beautiful bottle and pretty pink liquid but I cannot get past the perm smell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, the packaging is beautiful, sturdy and effective — no clogged nozzle here. It smells great and the scent does linger on my hair for a while. It left my hair soft and very manageable. It combatted my moderate frizz for most of the day which is more than I can say for most products. There are a couple ingredients included in the formula that I would prefer not to see in products, but I do realize most people don’t analyze the ingredients in their topical products. It is also very pricey - something noteworthy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im loving this Genesis Defense Thermique Heat Protecting Spray! Im in perimenopause and my hair has gotten so fine and brittle but this product does seem to help prevent breakage. I have not noticed a huge difference but i have noticed a lot less shedding all over my bathroom floor and in my brushes. That means the world to me as i have been losing hair by the gobs! I will continue using this spray. It smells wonderful and is a light milky texture. The bottle sprays out a perfectly fine mist that seems to land everywhere on my head evenly. It is great! Im happy with this.

It’s nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a nice heat protectant but I am not finding anything special about it where I feel like I would NEED to repurchase. It’s not as thin as I would prefer for a product that had a spray nozzle, so I do spray it into my hands before distributing through my hair. You need to really make sure you work it through your as well, because you will be left with an almost greasy spot if you condense it too much. Would use again if gifted but prefer others to this particular product.

Light hydrating formula
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone with dry, damaged, color treated hair - and someone who uses hot tools on that hair daily - this product is clutch! It protects my hair and smooths it out nicely without making it feel greasy or weighed down.

Smells good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly, I love the smell!! It’s so good. It makes me feel like I just came from the salon and my hair is smooth and the perfect amount of shiny. The packaging is so cute and easy to use.

Smells great, works even better.
I use this before applying heat to my hair and it makes my hair soft and not greasy. It helps with the tangles and the frizz and makes my hair look smooth. It smells so good. Sometimes I sprayed it in the next day just for the smell

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with this heat protecting spray! Not only does it give me peace of mind when using my blow dryer or straightener, but it also leaves my hair feeling incredibly soft and smooth. It’s lightweight, doesn’t weigh my hair down, and makes styling so much easier. My hair feels healthier and more manageable after using it, with a nice touch of shine. Definitely a must-have in my routine now!

Smells Great and Controls Frizz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this product more than I thought I would mostly due to the scent. It also tamed the amount of frizz after usage which helps as someone with curly hair/ wavy hair in the summer. I would purchase this again.

It’s okay, but not Kerastase’ best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s okay, I’m a wavy/curly girl with fine hair that’s prone to frizz and poof. It helped to smooth my hair, but wasn’t greasy or heavy. The scent was extremely strong and smelled like cologne, and I wish it were just a bit heavier to really get my hair smooth.

Hello! Thanks for your detailed review of the Genesis Defense Thermique! It's great to hear it smoothed your wavy/curly, fine hair without greasiness. We've noted your feedback on the strong, cologne-like scent and your desire for a slightly heavier formula for even more smoothing. Your insights are very valuable!

Works but with a draw back
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keeps hair pretty smooth in the heat and humidity but it has a very strong scent that I wouldn’t expect from a salon worthy product. The only way to describe it was soapy, almost like a cheap bar of soap which was not my favorite. Other than that the product works and is worth it.

Simply The Best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so impressed with this Heat Protector Spray, it works very well on your hair. It keeps your hair very smooth, soft, frizz free, smells great, and doesn’t leave your hair greasy. I use hair straightener a lot and thanks to this heat protector spray. My hair looks much healthier, shinier, and way less breakage. Very high end product but worth the value.

Smooth Frizz Free Hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I routinely use heated tools to style my hair. For reference my hair is fine and straight. Many styling and heat protection products weigh down my hair and leave it looking frizzy. I find that this heat protecting spray helps to smooth my hair and drastically minimizes frizz which is a huge win. The product has a nice fresh salon scent. I spray a few pumps and comb from roots to ends. It doesn’t leave any residue or make my hair appear flat. It is still too soon to assess if I have less hair fall but will continue using because I love how smooth and shiny my hair looks when I use it.
I received this product from Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heat protectant spray has become a staple in my hair routine. I use heat tools on my hair almost daily, so having something to protect against damage is a must. The spray is lightweight and doesn’t leave my hair sticky or greasy, which is a huge plus.

Good, but heavy for fine hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would say this spray is good, but not great. I have naturally straight, fine hair and sometimes throughout the day I’ll get a small amount of frizz within my layers. This spray helped with the frizz, but if I applied too much, it weighed my hair down and made it stringy. After a few weeks, I haven’t noticed much of a difference in terms of the strength of my hair, but I’ll continue using to see if that improves, I’ll just be careful not to apply too much. If you have thicker hair, this may work well for you!

Helps with tangling SO much
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A fantastic product! I have very long bleached hair, causing it to frizz and tangle constantly. I've been using the Genesis Defense mostly at night time. I shower, towel dry my hair, lather my hair, and let it air dry over night. I wake up with shiny, tamed, and healthy feeling hair every single time. Still a few tangles, but nothing close to what I was dealing with before. The scent reminds me of a spa, or high end hair salon.
I don't blow dry my hair often, but when I do I get the same instant results using this product.
I received this product free from I fluster for my honest review. It is a little on the pricier side, so I don't think it will be a staple for me. But if you're looking to splurge- this would be a treat!

Great smell, great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great smell, great product!
The spray itself is a lightweight milky consistency and I found only a little is needed for great results. I sprayed two pumps into my hand and worked it into my wet hair before blow drying my hair. After blowing out my hair I had noticeably less frizz and more shine. I typically use the amika heat protectant but think I’ll be switching to this for blow drying my hair when wet and reserving that for styling my dry hair as a protectant.
I haven’t tried this product yet as a leave in conditioner and letting my hair air dry but I imagine it was have similar results!
Overall a great product that I would recommend, but comes with a steep price tag.
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Makes hair look super shiny & healthy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heat protecting spray makes my hair incredibly shiny, lustrous, very smooth and well-conditioned. I didn't notice a significant difference in hair fall, but my hair isn't very damaged and I don't typically experience breakage from brushing. The scent is a clean, soapy floral.
The frizz control is excellent when combined with hair mousse and curl cream. I have 3A hair, which typically frizzes no matter what, especially after diffusing. I experienced only a minimal amount of frizz when I used the spray asking with other products. I even tested it under extreme conditions (two hours outside in high heat and humidity) and only a little frizz peeked out on the top of my head. But I did see more frizz when I used the product with just leave-in conditioner. However, the amount was no worse than what I normally experience when using just a leave-in.
Overall, this is not a product I would reach for if my sole goal was perfectly frizz-free hair. However, it is absolutely something I would (and will) use specifically for the incredible shine it provides, especially as part of a routine with other strong anti-frizz products. I imagine someone with straight or wavy hair that is less prone to frizz would love it even more.

Skeptical on effectiveness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m still a little skeptical about this spray and if it even does anything. I haven’t noticed any drastic results. I use it on my wet hair before blow drying. The spray comes out like a straight line, it doesn’t spritz. It smells pretty strong like a clean powder scent. It’s very pleasant. I have noticed my hair is a bit less frizzy when I use, but overall don’t know if it’s worth the extra step/ product.

Overall good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I think this is good. It’s a pump spray which seems to spray somewhat evenly. It does have a strong different smell to it. Just reminds me of the salon but not bad enough to not make me use it. I applied it after my redken one United this last time, just to the middle to ends of my hair and I thought it made it extra smooth, not as frizzy which is good because it’s been humid here in Ohio. I would recommend and does work well just by itself.

Strong smell, questionable efficacy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very strong, salon- like scent. I also found it odd that it is a "thermal defense" product, but on the back of the bottle it says it's highly flammable. Overall, I'm not sure I fully understand how the ingredients (lots of alcohols) are supposed to protect your hair from breakage, it seems like it would be drying over time. Quite expensive for a product with questionable efficacy.

But it woek great, I sprayed it on and used a hairdryer to diffuse my hair and it kept the curls without making it frizzy. It lasted well, and even after a few splashes at Tiana's ride curls held up. It also smells great which is a plus when you are sweating walking in the heat. I would definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciate Kerastace product quality and use several of their products. Thats why I expected a lot from its Genesis Defense Thermique Heat protecting Spray. I am a bit underwhelmed unfortunately. Scent is clean and fine. Hard to control the amount that comes out when sprayed and difficult to assess how much to use. Provides protection from heat styling but not sure it stands out from other high end products on the market ( Moroccanoil protect spray). A decent product but not sure it is worth the price tag.

Say goodbye to frizz and fly aways
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have very thick hair and need to apply heat to it when styling so damage is always a concern. This is the second Keratase product that I have tried that is a 10 out of 10. My hair which normally has breakaways after blow drying had none after using the spray. It didn’t feel too heavy when I sprayed on and the scent smells clean and fresh.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the packaging on this - the bottle is sleek and feels more expensive than it actually is. The sprayer is good too - no clogs or anything yet. Scent is light and plays well with other shampoos/etc you may have in your hair already. Did a pretty good job on flyaways but I really want to use it more when it’s not so crazy humid - I don’t think anything could combat this heat right now haha all in all, good product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An unbelievable change in my hair. I never have time to blow dry my hair these days as a mom of two, and my post partum hair is suffering.
