It may be inevitable to style your naturally curly or wavy hair often, which can lead to heat damage. You may also work in an industry such as fashion and beauty, where you are constantly exposed to heat hair procedures.
While exposure to heat is something that you cannot avoid, there are some countermeasures you can consider to protect your hair from heat damage. Here, we’ll provide you with some ways on how you can style and take care of your hair:
Prep Your Hair
For starters, ensure your hair is appropriately prepared before styling to reduce heat damage. Use a moisturizing shampoo or a Nuxe shower gel and conditioner to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Consider getting a weekly deep conditioning treatment to nourish and repair your hair.
Remember that preparing and protecting your hair is essential for styling and protecting it. Your hair should be hydrated and healthy before it is exposed to a heating tool.
Use Heat Protection Products
Before using any heat styling products, spray on your hair with a heat protectant or serum from Christophe Robin. Heat protection products are essential for safeguarding your hair from the damage caused by tools for styling, such as blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons.
These products create a shield between the heat and your hair, lowering the possibility of damage such as dryness, split ends, and breakage. Further, they typically contain ingredients that help coat the hair shaft, lock in moisture, and shield against high temperatures.
Use the Right Tools
Of course, investing in high-quality heat styling tools is one method for protecting your hair from heat damage. A good-quality tool distributes heat evenly and has advanced features like ceramic or tourmaline plates. Lower-quality tools can cause hot spots and uneven heating, leading to potential damage.
Also, high-quality tools style your hair faster, unlike low-quality ones, which exit hair to heat longer because they don’t straighten or curl it quickly. And if you notice, heating tools made from high-quality products provide longer results than low-quality ones.
Limit Heat Exposure
Next, of course, is to try to limit heat exposure. You must try to minimize the frequency of heat styling and avoid using high heat settings unnecessarily. Opt for heat-free styling methods like air drying or heatless curling techniques to give your hair a break from excessive heat. Also, you can use products such as Nuxe Oil for hair repair and nourishment.
These are some of the best yet conventional methods for styling and heat damage protection for hair. Remember that before heat tools were invented, these were the traditional ways of styling hair.
Wrapping Up
Heat styling is one of the most convenient yet damaging procedures for styling hair. Fortunately, if you can’t limit heat exposure, you can add some ways and products to your routine to mitigate the risk of heat damage. With a few tips, we hope that this article will help you know how to style and adequately protect your hair from heat damage.
