What it does

Why Style Protector.

  1. 01

    Heat-activated release

    Styling heat triggers the spheres to release phenyl trimethicone right when tools meet hair.

  2. 02

    Humidity defense

    Seals the cuticle to help control frizz and hold style in challenging conditions.

  3. 03

    Heat protection and shine

    Helps reduce dullness from heat styling for a sleek, silky, radiant finish.

  4. 04

    Tested style retention

    Shown to improve style retention by over 24%.

How it works · SalSphere®

Deposited where it works. Released over time.

Liquid lipid-core microspheres with a hydrophilic shell that deposit active ingredients on skin and hair and release them gradually.

  1. DepositedStyle Protector is carried in SalSphere® microspheres that deposit on skin and hair, on the surface or into deeper layers of the stratum corneum.
  2. RetainedThe hydrophilic shell helps the microspheres adhere, so more of the active ingredient stays where it was applied.
  3. Released over timeThe lipid core releases the active ingredient gradually: the full dose, a little at a time, with less irritation.
