Hello, my hair lovers!

As usual, I’m very excited about a new hair topic. I can imagine how many doubts you might have and hope to clear a big part of them with this blog post.

Do heat protectants work?

The answer to this question is YES absolutely.

Although, that doesn’t mean they reduce the damage in 100% they help you minimize the damage 50% at most. Keep in mind that reducing hair damage is super important. That is why even though is not fully protecting my hair, I have made it part of my hair routine before using any heat tool.

Why should I apply heat protectant before styling my hair?
Girls we are talking about a burning tool around the 300-400f they really burn. So let’s not crisp our hair and reduce all the damage as much  we can.

The dehydration when styling causes the hair to break down and damage, and the heat protectant help to hydrate your mane due to its ingredients. Creating a barrier between the heat tool and your hair, slowing down heat conduction distributing heat evenly on each strand.

Plus you will also notice fresh, nourished, smooth, and easy to style hair. Since it’s surface has been lubricated thanks to the heat protectant.

TYPES OF HEAT PROTECTANTS
Sprays

Oils and Serums

Greasy hair

There are a variety of heat protectants, some of them are serums, oils, creams, and sprays. They all do the same job but come in different forms.

There are some pretty easy rules to follow with this:

Sprays: Won’t weigh hair your hair down (best for fine and greasy hair)

Oils and Serums: Better to use on dry or coarse hair (they can be heavy on fine hair)

Greasy hair: skip the oils go for the spray

My opinion: Sprays are my favorite and are great for all hair types. They just distributed a fine mist that is super easy to disperse all over the hair.

Protecting your hair everywhere you go

Especially when you go to the beach, heat protectant will be your hair’s best friend.

The sun heats up our mane which causes damage as much as a heat tool will do. Most people only protect their skin and forget all the heat our hair is taking from the sun that could lead to a lot of damage.

 Tip: If you don’t have a hair heat protectant handy, you could also use sunscreen in case of an emergency.

EXTRA-HEAT  PROTECTANT TIPS 

Apply it right after washing your hair. Heat protectant will easily enter the cuticle and soak up into your hair better when it’s wet.

When hair is dry just mist it lightly, do not mist too close to the hair it will get the section wet.

When you get it wet you are going to hear a sizzle when styling. This means it is causing damage to the hair.

Obviously, it doesn’t have to be 10cm exactly but you MUST be far away so you don’t wet your hair.

I hope everyone will use heat protectants now, EVERY TIME before heat styling!

Your hair will appreciate it greatly! Tell me down below your experience. Is there a favorite heat protectant that works the most for you?

Much much love
