        abstract = {By causing moisture loss, cuticle disruption, and protein degradation, excessive use of heat styling products damages hair. This study attempts to solve this issue. This study focuses on the development and testing of a herbal hair heat protectant spray that blends plant-based compounds with thermal shielding, antioxidant, and conditioning qualities in response to the growing need for safe and natural hair care products. Since they have been demonstrated to fortify hair strands, nourish the scalp, and guard against heat stress, herbal substances such as aloe vera, hibiscus extract, onion oil, and shea butter were used into the formulation of the spray. For the hair spray formulation, several physicochemical characteristics were evaluated, including pH, viscosity, heat stability, and spray ability. The spray's structural integrity, which had a light purple color and a nice odor, was inspected under a microscope to assess its efficacy after it was applied to hair strands prior to heat exposure. The findings demonstrated that the herbal spray significantly decreased heat-induced damage while maintaining hair hydration and texture. This study shows how effectively herbal ingredients may be combined to produce a safe and sustainable alternative to conventional heat protectant treatments.},
