FAQs:

did blockade get reformulated?  

• blockade's return has a lot to do with our stylist community: countless pros told us that they missed this salon-chair staple for its heavy-duty heat defense + glossy finish. the formula has undergone some minor updates for optimization, but don’t worry: you’ll find the same 450°F heat protection,* frizz control + shine you loved + missed in the original.
