How to use it

  1. After shampooing, apply to clean, wet hair.
  2. Comb gently through from roots to ends.
  3. Go on with heat styling.

Put it on before heat, in the order its label gives. A leave-in or a styler isn’t a heat protectant unless its maker says so. Air-dry or diffuse: what changes .
