This heat protection spray is inspired by the crashing waves at some of sun bum's fav beaches. It's made to cut down on blow dry time and to help protect luscious locks from frizz and breakage often caused by humidity and thermal heat damage. This product is suitable for vegans. To use first things first make sure to use a hair towel to remove any excess water from your hair. Shake up the heat protector until clear and turquoise parts blend together, then mist directly onto hair evenly from roots to ends. Apply lightly near roots to limit extra buildup. Don't rinse. Style as usual. Sun bum is cruelty free. This means that their products and raw materials are not tested on animals. Period. They are also certified by peta and leaping bunny, third party companies that verify product testing practices as well as the processes of their suppliers.
