What is the function of a spray-on thermal protector?

To protect hair from heat damage
To lighten the hair colour
To increase oil production
To freeze hair in place

The correct answer is: To protect hair from heat damage

A spray-on thermal protector is specifically designed to protect hair from heat damage caused by styling tools such as hair dryers, flat irons, and curling irons. This product forms a barrier between the hair and the heat source, reducing the amount of damage and breakage that can occur. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not relate to the function of a spray-on thermal protector. Lightening hair colour, increasing oil production, or freezing hair in place are not the intended purposes of this product and would not effectively protect hair from heat damage. A thermal protector is a specialized product and it is important to use it for its designated purpose to achieve the desired result.
