Can you use olive oil as a heat protecter?

Olive oil can provide some level of heat protection due to its relatively high smoke point, which ranges from about 375°F to 405°F (190°C to 207°C). However, it is not specifically formulated for heat protection like dedicated heat protectant sprays, and its effectiveness may vary depending on the cooking method and temperature. For optimal results, consider using products designed for heat protection when styling hair or cooking at high temperatures.
