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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
I’m really inspired with your writing skills as neatly as with the format to your weblog. Is this a paid topic or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays..
I’ve learn some just right stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how a lot attempt you put to make the sort of fantastic informative site.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
