Excellent question!
It doesn't fully protect your hair of course, but it gives some level of protection.
Agree! Not a silly question at all.

I agree. Just like sun block lotion doesn't mean you are 100% protected from the sun.

Well, this is interesting!!! I noticed ( in my own little world) that when I used serum ( SMB) on pieces of hair - and then flat ironed... that piece of hair was terribly HOT - like OVER HEATED!!!!!
less serum, less burns on my finger.
I am perfecting my technique - but I think that some of these serums may OVER heat hair -over protecting it.
Who knows.

Maybe it gives a layer of protection of the hair's cuticle?
Remember that injured cuticles (hair scales lol) is the first step to damaged hair and the heat protectant may help keep the scales themselves from being damaged by the flatiron going down the hair surface, it may even help actually smooth the cuticle down).
Your question isn't silly at all but my response might be

Heat protectants put an extra layer of protection on the strands. Can they protect 100% no...do they help...yes.
A lot of times heat gets a bad rap. Things that must be looked at are the quality of the hair to begin with, quality of the tools, how many passes, technique, how was it dried...etc.
I use heat every week on me and my dd's hair and it's just fine.

LOL...I was typing as you were posting. Pretty much.
Also, things like cotton, raggedy fingernails etc tear up the strands and the heat gets blamed
