How to use it

  1. Spray onto damp hair before heat styling.
  2. Or spray onto dry hair before using a curling iron or flat iron.
  3. Style as usual.

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 .
