Paul Mitchell Hot Off The Press heat protectant spray 6 oz — protects to 450°F, humidity resistance & flexible natural finish

Paul Mitchell Hot Off The Press is a lightweight heat-protectant spray that shields hair from thermal styling up to 450°F while delivering humidity resistance and a natural, flexible finish.

Use this salon-grade mist before blow-drying, straightening, or curling to reduce heat-related stress on strands. Formulated with rice hull extract to create a protective barrier and wheat proteins to support hair strength, it helps preserve texture and manage frizz without weighing hair down. The scent blends bright Cara Cara orange and white grapefruit with delicate lily of the valley for a fresh, professional finish.

How does it protect hair from high-temperature styling?

Hot Off The Press forms a thin, lightweight shield between hair and hot tools, lowering the immediate damage caused by direct heat contact. It’s designed for use with flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers, and specifies thermal protection up to 450°F.

• Rice hull extract creates a heat-deflecting barrier
• Formulated to withstand styling temperatures up to 450°F
• Lightweight spray avoids heavy residue or buildup

Will it help keep styles smooth in humid weather?

The formula offers humidity resistance to reduce frizz and help styles stay defined in damp conditions. It provides a flexible hold so hair moves naturally instead of feeling stiff or sticky.

• Humidity-resistant finish controls frizz without crunch
• Flexible hold maintains movement and shape
• Works on curly and straight styles alike

How do I use this spray for best results?

Spritz evenly onto damp or dry hair before applying heat; distribute with a comb or brush for full coverage. Reapply lightly after styling to lock in the look and add an extra layer of defense if you plan on additional heat passes.

• Apply before using flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers
• Comb through to ensure even protection from root to tip
• Light misting after styling refreshes hold and scent

What ingredients support strength and shine without weighing hair down?
