Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist — 4.6 oz Coconut Colada, Lightweight Heat Shield to 450°F, Adds Shine

Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist is a lightweight Drybar spray that shields hair from heat up to 450°F while smoothing and adding shine.

This leave-in mist is designed to be sprayed on dry hair before using hot tools, creating an invisible barrier that helps preserve moisture and reduce the drying effects of styling irons and blow dryers. Formulated with marula oil and heat-activated rice protein, the product aims to strengthen strands and deliver a satin finish with Drybar’s Coconut Colada fragrance.

How does this mist protect hair from heated tools?

The formula forms a thin, heat-resistant layer over each strand so styling temperatures transfer less directly to the hair fiber. Heat-activated rice protein helps reinforce the hair’s structure during thermal styling, while marula oil smooths the cuticle to reduce friction and frizz.

• Thermal protection rated up to 450°F (232°C)
• Heat-activated rice proteins to support strand strength
• Marula oil to smooth and add shine
• Leave-in mist for even, lightweight coverage

When and how should I apply the spray for best results?

Spray Hot Toddy onto dry hair just before using a flat iron, curling iron, or blow dryer brush. Hold the bottle several inches away for an even mist, comb through if needed, then style as usual—no rinsing required.

• Use on dry hair immediately before heat styling
• Spray 6–8 inches away for even distribution
• Comb or finger-detangle to coat strands uniformly
• Safe to reapply lightly when restyling or touching up

Will this leave my hair heavy, greasy, or sticky?

The lightweight formula is designed to avoid buildup and keep movement natural, leaving a satin rather than oily finish. Marula oil adds slip and polish without weighing hair down, making the spray suitable for fine to thick textures when used as directed.

• Lightweight, non-greasy spray texture
• Creates a smooth finish without heavy residue
• Works on fine to coarse hair when applied sparingly
• Helps reduce frizz without stiffness

Is this product free of common allergens and animal testing?

Drybar formulates Hot Toddy without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, nut oils, and honey, and the brand maintains a cruelty-free stance. The spray is plant-forward and vegan-friendly, but always patch-test if you have specific ingredient sensitivities.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• Made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, nuts/nut oil, or honey
• Contains fragrance (Coconut Colada) — patch-test recommended
• Suitable for a wide variety of hair types and textures

Who is this for: Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist is ideal for anyone who regularly uses heated styling tools and wants to reduce heat stress while keeping hair smooth and shiny. It suits people with all hair types—fine, medium, or coarse—who prefer a lightweight, rinse-free thermal protector with a tropical coconut scent and salon-style finish.
