Do you have to use a heat protectant when straightening hair?

I mean, can you just use a leave in conditioner (Garnier Sleek %26amp; Shine) to protect your hair from damage? Or do you need an actual heat protectant. Will leave in conditioner protect your hair well? I straighten my hair a lot, but it gets oily from heat protectants ]:
