Learn the correct order to use Livingproof Heat Styling Spray and Wash Duo for maximum heat protection and lasting healthy hair.
Quick answer
Start with the Wash Duo to clean and hydrate your hair, then apply Heat Styling Spray before any heat tool for protection that lasts up to 48 hours.
Why the order matters
Using the Wash Duo first removes buildup and adds lasting hydration, so the Heat Styling Spray can work evenly on clean hair. Applying the spray on dirty or product-laden hair reduces its ability to shield strands from heat damage.
Step-by-step routine
- Wash with the Perfect hair Day™ Wash Duo: Apply the shampoo to wet hair, lather, and rinse. Follow with the conditioner, leave on for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Towel-dry gently. Skipping conditioner can leave hair under-hydrated, which makes heat damage more likely.
- Apply Heat Styling Spray on damp or dry hair: Hold the spray 6–8 inches away and mist evenly over sections. Start at the mid-lengths and ends, where heat damage is most common. Comb through to distribute. Don't spray directly onto the roots unless you plan to heat-style them — excess product at the scalp can weigh hair down.
- Proceed with your heat tool: Blow-dry, flat iron, or curl as usual. The spray smooths the hair cuticle and protects up to 450°F. Style in small sections for even coverage. If you re-apply heat later (e.g., touch-ups), you do not need to re-spray — the 48-hour protection is still active.
