KEVIN.MURPHY Heated.Defense Heat Protection Foam 150 mL — Weightless Shield, Smooths & Detangles

KEVIN.MURPHY HEATED.DEFENSE is a weightless, leave-in foam that protects hair from heat styling up to 232°C / 450°F while smoothing and detangling.

HEATED.DEFENSE is formulated as a lightweight foam to help shield strands from damage caused by hot tools and mechanical stress without adding weight or residue. Infused with jojoba seed oil and hydrolyzed quinoa, it aims to improve manageability and surface smoothness so styling goes faster and looks polished. The cruelty-free formula is free from sulphates and parabens and is designed to distribute easily through all hair types.

How does HEATED.DEFENSE protect hair during blow-drying or flat-ironing?

The foam forms a fine, even film around the hair fiber that helps buffer high temperatures from styling tools. While it won’t prevent all wear from frequent heat styling, it reduces moisture loss and surface roughening, aiding smoother styling and reduced frizz.

• Heat protection up to 232°C / 450°F
• Light foam texture for even, non-greasy coverage
• Helps minimize frizz and surface damage during styling

Will this product weigh my hair down or leave buildup?

No — HEATED.DEFENSE is designed to be weightless and rinse-free, providing protection without heavy residue. It disperses evenly so hair stays touchable and natural-feeling rather than stiff or coated.

• Leave-in foam avoids heavy oils and waxes
• Formulated for all hair types, from fine to coarse
• Sulphate- and paraben-free for cleaner-feeling results

What styling benefits can I expect besides heat protection?

Alongside thermal defence, the formula helps detangle, smooth cuticle roughness, and enhance manageability for quicker styling. Jojoba seed oil adds slip and shine while hydrolyzed quinoa supports strand strength and surface uniformity.

• Detangles to reduce breakage during brushing and styling
• Improves shine and reduces flyaways for sleeker finishes
• Helps tools run more smoothly through the hair

How should I apply the foam for best results?

Apply to towel-dried hair before heat styling, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Work the foam through evenly with your fingers or a comb, then proceed with blow-drying or hot tools as usual.

• Dispense a small amount into palm and emulsify
• Distribute from roots to ends, concentrating on damaged areas
• Style immediately with blow-dryer, straightener, or curling iron

Who is this for: KEVIN.MURPHY HEATED.DEFENSE suits anyone who uses heated tools and wants a lightweight, everyday protectant that smooths, detangles, and helps maintain polished results. It’s appropriate for fine to thick textures and for clients seeking cruelty-free, sulphate- and paraben-free styling support.
