Key selling points: A fine-mist formula that gets the most rave reviews for its signature Moroccanoil scent, which some reviewers say has replaced their perfume.
What customers say: “I rarely straighten my hair these days, but when I do, I make sure my hair is heat-protected. I’ve been using the same product for years but wanted to try something different. Too bad I didn’t do this years ago because the Moroccanoil Perfect Defense is a lot better. One day this week, I wanted the hair at the base of my head to lay flat for an updo, but my kinky-coily hair was not cooperating, so I decided to just flatiron two little spots on the back of my head. I would have to say, this was the best heat protectant I’ve ever used. First of all, let’s talk about the scent. It’s the traditional Moroccanoil smell, which, to me, is heavenly. I don’t typically go for heavy scents such as this, but I just love this one! Second, it’s easier to spray. Usually my other heat protectant made my hair hard and crunchy. When I flatironed those two little spots, my hair was still soft and pliable, but just straighter. It dries pretty quickly, so you can get into your hair and get out.” —Comtesse Gigi, Amazon
