What Is It?

KEVIN MURPHY Curl Definition and Heat Protection Duo is a two-product styling combination designed to solve an important challenge for curly and wavy hair:

How do you define your natural texture while protecting it from the heat used to style it?

The answer is a combination of protection and definition.

HEATED.DEFENSE provides the protective step, helping shield the hair from temperatures up to 232°C or 450°F while remaining lightweight and invisible.

MOTION.LOTION provides the styling step, enhancing curls and texture while controlling frizz and creating flexible hold with natural-looking shine.

Together, the duo creates:

Protect → Define → Control → Shine

KEVIN MURPHY HEATED.DEFENSE 150ml

A lightweight leave-in heat protection foam designed to protect the hair against damage caused by heated and mechanical styling tools.

HEATED.DEFENSE provides protection up to 232°C or 450°F, making it particularly relevant when using:

Hair dryers

Diffusers

Straighteners

Curling irons

Other heated styling tools

Unlike heavier heat protectants, the foam is designed to distribute easily through the hair and disappear into all hair types, creating an invisible protective shield.

Its formula combines Hydrolysed Quinoa, Jojoba Seed Oil and protective Copolymers to help protect while supporting softness, strength and manageability.

KEVIN MURPHY MOTION.LOTION 150ml

A lightweight, highly absorbent curl-enhancing styling lotion designed to define natural texture while controlling frizz.

MOTION.LOTION provides flexible hold and natural-looking shine, making it particularly useful when you want curls to remain soft and movable rather than stiff or crunchy.

The formula features Sesame Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin and Bergamot Fruit Oil to nourish, smooth and support shine while the styling formula enhances curls and texture.

Sesame Seed Oil helps nourish and hydrate while improving manageability.

Vegetable Glycerin attracts moisture to help reduce dryness and improve softness.

The result is more controlled, defined and naturally luminous-looking texture.

Together, the two products provide:

Heat Protection → Frizz Control → Curl Definition → Flexible Hold
