Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist for Hair — Coconut Colada 4.6 oz, protects to 450°F & lightweight shine

Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist is a lightweight, leave-in spray that shields hair from heat up to 450°F while smoothing, strengthening, and scenting strands with Coconut Colada.

Use Hot Toddy before any hot tool to create an invisible barrier that helps guard hair against the drying effects of high temperatures. The formula blends heat-activated rice protein and marula oil to support strength and shine without weighing hair down. It sprays on dry hair easily, dries fast, and leaves a satin finish so styling looks polished and professional at home.

How does Hot Toddy protect hair during heat styling?

The mist forms a light, protective film across the hair shaft that helps reduce moisture loss and cuticle roughness when exposed to hot tools. Heat-activated rice protein temporarily fortifies strands so they resist breakage under thermal stress. Marula oil smooths and seals the surface, improving slip for easier tool movement and minimizing frizz.

• Thermal protection up to 450°F (232°C)
• Heat-activated rice proteins to support strand strength
• Marula oil smooths and reduces surface friction
• Fast-drying, lightweight mist that won’t weigh hair down

Will this work on my hair type and texture?

Hot Toddy is formulated to be versatile: its lightweight base layers protection without adding heavy oils or buildup, making it suitable for fine to coarse hair. It helps control frizz and improves shine across straight, wavy, curly, and coily textures when used before heat styling. For very fine hair, apply sparingly at mid-lengths to ends; thicker hair may benefit from a slightly heavier mist application for full coverage.

• Suitable for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair
• Use sparingly on fine hair to avoid weight
• Apply generously on thicker or coarser hair for complete protection
• Designed for use on dry hair prior to hot tools

How do I use Hot Toddy for the best results?

Simplify your styling routine by misting Hot Toddy onto dry hair before any direct heat—flat irons, curling wands, or blow-dry brushes. Section hair for even coverage and comb through if needed to distribute the product. Style as usual; the spray dries quickly and won’t interfere with your tool’s grip on the hair.

• Mist onto dry hair from 6–8 inches away
• Work in sections for uniform protection
• Comb through to spread product evenly when necessary
• Style immediately with your preferred hot tool

What else is notable about this Drybar formula?

Beyond thermal defense, Hot Toddy leaves hair with a satin finish and a subtle Coconut Colada fragrance—notes of coconut water and muguet—so styling feels luxurious. The formula is vegan and cruelty-free and excludes parabens, sulfates, phthalates, nuts/nut oils, and honey, appealing to those avoiding those ingredients. It’s created to deliver salon-style results at home without heavy residue.

• Coconut Colada scent with coconut water and muguet notes
• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• Free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, nuts/nut oils, and honey

It’s especially helpful for people seeking an easy pre-styling step that protects against high temperatures while adding shine and a pleasant scent. Whether you’re styling daily or on occasion, this 4.6 oz mist fits neatly into a routine that prioritizes protection and salon-quality results at home.
