If you’re using heat styling tools on your hair, you’re legally obliged (or at least we think you should be) to use heat protection products like sprays, serums or oils to preserve your locks.
Often when we blow dry, straighten or curl our hair, the damage that heat inflicts is an afterthought, and by then the damage is done. Any heat applied to the hair that’s above 200 degrees will do damage to your hair. Even the most healthy, fortified strands are susceptible to dryness, weakening, and heat damage especially if you’re a frequent styler.
