How does Hot Toddy prevent heat damage when I straighten or curl?

Hot Toddy forms a lightweight protective film that reduces direct thermal stress from flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers. By defending hair up to 450°F, it helps lower the chance of dryness and visible damage while allowing you to style at higher temperatures when needed.

• Protects hair up to 450°F (232°C)
• Creates an invisible barrier against hot tool contact
• Helps preserve moisture and reduces heat-related dryness

What ingredients help strengthen and smooth my hair?

The formula combines heat-activated rice protein with marula oil to both reinforce and soften strands. Rice protein helps fortify hair when heated, while marula oil adds slip and a satin finish that reduces friction and frizz during styling.

• Heat-activated rice protein for temporary strengthening
• Marula oil for smoothness, shine, and frizz control
• Lightweight mist that won’t weigh hair down

When and how should I apply this travel-size mist for best results?

Spritz Hot Toddy onto dry hair before using hot tools for maximum protection; it’s designed as a leave-in product so you don’t need to rinse. Use a few even pulses through sections, comb or finger-distribute, then proceed to straighten, curl, or blow-dry as usual.

• Apply to dry hair before heat styling
• Spray 4–6 inches from hair and distribute evenly
• No rinse required—style immediately after application

Is this suitable for my hair type and travel needs?

Hot Toddy is formulated to work on all hair textures—fine, thick, straight, or curly—providing thermal defense without heaviness. The 1.5 oz bottle is TSA-compliant and convenient for touch-ups between workouts, meetings, or while traveling.

• Works on all hair types and textures
• 1.5 oz travel size fits carry-on and purses
• Cruelty-free and vegan; free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, nut oils, and honey
