20 Best Heat-Styling Creams, Mousses and Sprays
According to many pundits and Santa Claus, this holiday season will see a preponderance of utilitarian and practical gifts. We have heard that many stockings will be stuffed with blow-dryers and flatirons.
As a note of caution, hair gurus and Mrs. Claus recommend applying one of these products before using a blow-dryer or flatiron. If you are stuffing a stocking with a practical gift, why don't you add a gel, spray or cream that prevents damage.

Try these gels, sprays and creams that beauty bloggers and Total Beauty readers say keep their hair healthy despite blow-dryer and flatiron addictions. (One of our faves and best on the list is Aveda, but it's not No. 1.)
