Five minutes in humidity can destroy a 40-minute, bicep-building blowout—but not on your watch. Matrix is flipping the script on frizz with the launch of the Mega Sleek 96H Anti-Frizz Topcoat: a heat-activated smoothing serum that transforms the way pros and clients tackle the dog days of summer, “Hot, sticky air? Surprise heatwaves? This topcoat thrives in it,” says Matrix Global Brand Ambassador Sharon Spellman (@sharon.simplyinsane). “It’s a seasonal savior when your hair usually swells from humidity. Plus, you can use less heat overall because your style stays put longer.”
Why You’ll Be Obsessed
This isn’t your average serum. Mega Sleek 96H Topcoat is made with 0% water, so there’s no dilution—just pure, concentrated smoothing power that won’t quit. It’s activated by your hot tools, locking in glassy smoothness the moment heat hits.
Designed to defy frizz for 96 hours (even in 97% humidity), this topcoat keeps hair looking polished through steamy commutes, sweaty workouts, breezy beach weekends, and everything in between. It also offers heat protection up to 450°F and lasts up to five shampoos, making it a no-brainer for stylists and clients who want long-lasting results without the extra effort.
And did we mention the scent? A warm, addictive blend of salted caramel and Sicilian pistachio instantly transports you to the Italian Riviera. Bellissima.
Lock Out Frizz and Seal in Shine
Smooth. Seal. Slay. “Mega Sleek 96H Anti-Frizz Topcoat is ideal for textured, frizz-prone, or color-treated hair that tends to get dry or puffy in humidity,” says Spellman. “It’s also amazing for fine hair because it’s lightweight and doesn’t weigh strands down.” To apply:
- SHAKE IT to activate the formula.
- PUMP IT and apply to damp hair.
- HEAT IT with a blow-dryer, flat iron, or curling wand.
“Most frizz-fighting products either leave hair heavy or only last a few hours,” adds Spellman. “This one actually keeps your style intact for up to 96 hours and gives your hair that silky, light-reflecting shine.”.jpg)
Put It to Work Under Pressure
Spellman took the new serum for a spin behind the chair and on the dance floor. (Spoiler alert: Her glossy blowout survived both scenarios.) “Before using the topcoat, my hair was reactive to humidity—frizz would pop up almost instantly, especially around the crown and ends. No matter how sleek I styled it, by midday, flyaways and puffiness would creep in,” she says.
That all changed after just one use. The topcoat delivered instant smoothness and shine minus any greasy residue or retouching. “The results lasted days—even after a hot day at the salon under blow dryers, or running around at events,” adds the pro. “I also used it during a dance-heavy wedding weekend and didn’t need to reapply.”
When the heat is on, reach for Mega Sleek 96H Anti-Frizz Topcoat to craft looks built to last. Try Spellman’s summer staples: a low-slung bun or glass-hair ponytail that won’t lose their shape when up against the elements. As temperatures cool, use it to elevate a polished blowout or go full glam with pin-straight, static-proof strands. Your clients won’t believe how long their style holds. You won’t believe you ever styled without it.
