Good product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this before blow drying my hair and it did not disappoint, nor did it make my hair heavy. Smells nice and pretty bottle also! It’s a little thicker coming out of the bottle when you spray it but it’s not weighing my hair down after the blow drying.

Decent but you can do better for the $$$

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this was fine but given how expensive this brand is, I feel customers can do better at cheaper prices. I only used this prior to blow drying and then flat ironing and this pic is the result (plus a serum on the ends). I normally use a cheaper spray from L’ange and I much prefer that over this.

Amazing hair treatment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product! It gets its job done and makes my hair smooth, soft, and less frizzy, detangles and protects hair from heat! I have thick, long hair and wash it every 2 days and I use ~4 sprays, so you don't need that much product to already see a great result. I also lovvve the smell! I highly recommend it!

My fine hair loves it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product has a subtle, high-end scent reminiscent of one of the green Gucci Flora fragrances. I catch pleasant whiffs of it throughout the day, adding a touch of luxury to my haircare routine. This product performs exceptionally well for my fine, wavy, and frizz-prone hair. After applying it to wet hair and blow-drying, it kept my hair sleek and straight until the next wash, even through humid conditions. It doesn’t weigh down my fine hair or leave it greasy. Instead, my hair feels well-conditioned, elastic, and has a healthy weight without looking like stiff icicles.

Really enjoyed using this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is great let’s get that out of the way. I have thick curly hair with a mixture of thick and thin strands. It’s definitely a moisturizing heat protectant, it leaves hair soft and manageable after use. However! The spray mechanism is dreadful! Because of the consistency of the product, the manufacturers should have opted for a different sprayer all together. It’s hard to get the product out or the bottle to spray the product out evenly/ consistently. It’s hard to even press the spray pump, with one hand while trying to move it around. The product is also very heavily scented, I didn’t mind the scent but might be too heavy for sensitive noses. Lastly, the product itself is heavy and may not be best for people with thinner strands.

Smells delicious and protects weakened hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the early 2000s when flat irons and other heat styling tools were used practically every day my hair was in embarrassingly poor condition. That kept me away from any heat styling tools until very recent years, when products to protect hair from the effects of this type of tool came into vogue. Not all of them that I have tried are great, but this one really impressed me.. Firstly, it’s non-sticky. Also, I love the scent. But most importantly it’s made specifically for hair that is weakened, such as my highlighted tresses. It works very well and I will continue to buy it. Now I’m not afraid to blow dry, so I have more styling options beyond just letting my hair air dry.

A good heat protector for damaged hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always look for the next best. Being a bleach blonde, I need a good heat protector. This is it! It's light weight but very effective. Hair feels smooth after use. Light scent. I don't have to use as much as others to get the same coverage. It doesn't weight my hair down either. The packaging is nice and gives just enough amount. Highly recommend!

Heat Protection Without Heavy Product Feel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not usually one to bother with heat protectants and that always made me feel guilty. Most heat protectants feel heavy, sticky, or make my hair fall flat. This one is different. It’s super lightweight and somehow hydrates my hair and still leaves it bouncy. I LOVE the smell, and after a blowout my hair looks smoother with a nice, natural shine. It’s not cheap, but it actually does what I’ve always wanted a heat protectant to do. You get the best of the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In typical Kérastase style, this is a win. I have fine blonde hair that is quite fragile and this is amazing for blow drying. It smells fresh without being overpowering and a little goes a long way. I use it with the Genesis conditioner as well.

This product is essential for anyone wanting to st

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kérastase Genesis Défense Thermique is a fantastic heat protectant that makes my hair soft and smooth. Its lightweight texture keeps my fine hair feeling free and never weighed down. The fresh, luxurious scent reminds me of a high-end salon. Since using it, I've noticed less hair breakage and fewer strands falling out when brushing. It simplifies blow-drying and adds brilliant shine while protecting against heat up to 220°C. My ends look healthier and less frizzy. It absorbs quickly without any greasy residue, and there's no rinse step required. This product is essential for anyone wanting to strengthen fragile hair.

Oops, They Did it again!

Kérastase has done it again with the Genesis Défense Thermique Heat Protecting Spray—a must-have in any haircare routine, especially for those who style regularly with heat tools. From the first use, I noticed a difference in the way my hair felt and looked. The spray is lightweight, non-greasy, and has a soft, luxurious scent that lingers without being overpowering. It applies evenly and doesn’t leave any sticky residue or buildup. Most importantly, it offers exceptional heat protection up to 450°F, which gives me peace of mind when blow drying, straightening, or curling. What sets this product apart is its dual-action formula: it not only protects against heat damage but also strengthens hair that’s prone to breakage and fallout. Enriched with ginger root and edelweiss native cells, it nourishes the hair fiber and helps reduce breakage, making it perfect for weakened, thinning, or stressed hair. After several weeks of use, my hair feels softer, stronger, and more resilient. I’ve noticed less shedding when brushing and a smoother finish after heat styling. It has quickly become a staple in my haircare regimen. Pros: Excellent heat protection (up to 450°F) Lightweight and non-sticky Strengthens and reduces breakage Smells incredible Adds smoothness and shine Cons: Slightly pricey, but worth it for the quality and performance Overall, if you’re looking for a high-performance, salon-quality heat protectant that also strengthens and beautifies your hair, Kérastase Genesis Défense Thermique is well worth the investment.

Soft weightless heat protection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smell is great and the I like how for the mist is. It lasts a long time and only a little product is needed. I’m not sure how well it worked to be honest, but I have faith in the brand that it does what says it’s going to do and protects my hair. I’ve already ordered a new bottle.
