FAQs
How long does the frizz protection last?

Do I need to use heat styling tools for this spray to work?
Yes, the formula is heat-activated. For optimal results, apply the spray and then use your blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron.
Can I use this on wet hair?
It is best applied to dry or damp hair before heat styling. Applying to fully wet hair may dilute the product and reduce its effectiveness.

Can I layer this with other styling products?

What are the main ingredients responsible for anti-humidity?
The product utilizes a blend of polymers and conditioning agents that create a protective barrier against moisture when activated by heat.
Troubleshooting
Hair feels stiff or crunchy after use.
You may have used too much product. Try using a lighter mist next time, focusing on applying more evenly. Ensure you are holding the can at the recommended distance.
Product does not seem to be working against humidity.
Ensure the product was activated by heat styling. The formula works best when heat is applied after spraying. Also, verify the product is applied evenly and thoroughly.
Spray nozzle is clogged.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Gently clear any residue with a fine needle or pin. Rinse thoroughly and reattach. Always replace the cap after use.
Hair still appears frizzy.
For very coarse or extremely humid conditions, a second light application after heat styling might be necessary. Ensure all strands are covered.
