Key Ingredient
Argan Oil
Used for centuries in skincare and haircare, argan oil is an extremely rich golden liquid with anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. Quickly absorbed, this transformative ingredient unleashes nutrients, fatty acids, and vitamin E, soothing and deeply hydrating the skin, and restoring shine to dull hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Apply Heat Protectant Spray to Wet or Dry Hair?
Heat protectant sprays should be your go-to product before any styling that requires heated tools. Hair straightening sprays or mists should be applied to damp, towel-dried hair prior to heat styling. If you want to style dry hair with straighteners or curling irons, always make sure that the hair straightening spray is clearly labelled for use on dry hair.
Do I Need To Let the Heat Protectant Spray Dry Before Using My Hot Tool?
Yes. After misting your towel-dried hair with the heat protectant spray, allow the product to dry fully — it only takes a couple of minutes — before reaching for your hot styling tool. This step is especially important if you use flat irons and curling wands in order to avoid sizzling and steam damage.
Should I Use a Heat Protectant Spray Every Single Time I Use Heat on My Hair?
Yes. In fact, any amount of heat styling requires protection. Using a heat protection spray every time you straighten or style your hair with heated tools can help to reduce breakage, frizz, and longer term damage. Think of it as a key step in your healthy hair routine, just as you would a conditioner.
If I Use Multiple Hot Tools, Do I Need To Reapply the Heat Protectant Spray?
If there's a time gap between using heated styling tools or your hair has cooled down, it is important to always reapply a light misting before picking up the next tool. However, if you're using styling tools back-to-back, one application of heat protectant spray may be enough, but always check the product’s instructions – better safe than sorry!
Do Heat Protectant Sprays Cause Buildup on Hair or Scalp?
Most heat protectants, especially lightweight formulas like Garnier Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector Straightening Mist, have been formulated to be non-greasy and to rinse out easily so as not to cause product buildup. However, if you use heat styling tools daily or apply multiple products as part of a layering routine (leave-ins, serums, etc.), consider using a clarifying shampoo weekly to deep cleanse hair, and remove buildup.
Is a Heat Protectant Spray Necessary for All Hair Types?
Whether your hair is straight, wavy, curly, or coily, all types of hair will thank you for using a hair straightening spray. Coarser hair textures need protection from heated styling tools to lock in all-important moisture, while fine hair benefits from heat protectant sprays to prevent breakage, and keep flyaways to a minimum. Customize your hair care routine based on your hair’s unique needs — sprays for fine hair, and creams, serums, and leave-ins for thick or curly hair.
Will Using a Heat Protectant Make My Hair Greasy or Weigh It Down?
No, when properly applied, i.e. a light misting of a flat iron spray from the mid-lengths to the ends prior to styling, should not make your hair feel greasy, limp or weighed down. If you have fine or oily-prone hair, opt for a lightweight, silicone-free option. All Garnier’s flat iron protectant sprays have been designed to be invisible and weightless.
Is Heat Protectant Safe To Use on Color-Treated or Damaged Hair?
Heat protection sprays are not only safe but are key when it comes to preserving and prolonging color vibrancy, and preventing further damage. Formulas infused with ingredients like vitamins, oils (e.g. argan oil), or ceramides help nourish and protect color-treated and/or damaged hair. In addition to protecting your hair with a flat iron protection spray, always turn down the temperature down as low as you can.
Does Using a Hair Straightening Spray or Heat Protectant Help Your Style Last Longer?
Yes, many heat protectant sprays feature light hold agents to enhance your style, and keep it looking good for longer. Flat iron hair protection sprays are formulated with a range of ingredients designed to help hair stay smoother, shinier, and frizz-free for longer, especially when humidity levels are high.
In What Order Should I Apply My Heat Protectant if I’m Also Using Other Styling Products?
We recommend using the heat protectant spray immediately after towel-drying your hair, and before applying your favorite styling mousse, serum, etc. If you’re layering with oils or leave-ins for extra TLC, it’s important to let the hair straightening mist fully absorb for a couple of minutes before applying other products.
Pro tip: Protect > Style > Finish.
Pro tip: Protect > Style > Finish.
What Heat Setting Should I Use on My Tools When I Have a Heat Protectant in My Hair?
Stylists recommend using tools below 400° F for most hair types, and 300–350° F for fine, color-treated, or damaged hair. While a heat protectant spray does a great job at protecting your hair, lower temps can also help reduce damage. Some flat iron hair protection sprays, like Garnier’s Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector Straightening Mist, offer heat protection up to 450° F.

My new must have product
13 years ago
I have naturally curly hair. I do love it because I have many options with my hair; however I live in a high humidity area. For any of you that understand my hair concerns, know that with any chance of rain my straight hair starts to curl and frizz. Not so pretty!! I have gotten so many compliments since using this spray. My friends have started using this since I told them all about it :) Make sure after you section your hair, spray each piece before you straighten instead of trying to shortcut by spraying the whole head. I have found the best results this way! Thanks Garnier

Awful Product will not buy again
12 years ago
Be aware the first ingredient is alcohol!! This product completely ruined my hair I don't know if it will ever be the same without cutting it off and starting over. Before it was in great condition as side from a few split ends now it is so dry and damaged it is breaking off left and right it looks and feels like straw! I was so happy that I found something to "protect" my hair and keep it straight for two days to avoid extra damage from the flat iron well we will just call this a complete disappointment I wouldn't recommended this to anyone

Flat Iron Perfector works very well on my wavy/curly hair. I have used it for several years and it is reasonably priced. I also like the smell which is good because it is one of the last products I use when doing my hair. Please keep making it.

Q: When I towel-dry my hair, it's still damp. This is when I use leave-in conditioner. So do you mean towel-dry as opposed to a hair dryer? And since I use leave-in conditioner first, can I then use the straightening mist when it's dry? Or don't use leave-in

For that heat treatment, definitely use only on dry hair. But, if you want to use when you blow dry the hair, yes, you can apply this to damp hair and use the dryer instead.4 years agoHelpful?
