The Effects of Heat on Your Hair

Did you know that Heat is the leading cause of damage in our hair?

A lot of us style our hair using heated styling tools such as hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons to tame or achieve our desired look. What we sometimes don’t realize is every time we touch one of these tools to our hair we risk a permanent physical change to the alpha helix in our hairs natural keratin causing it to melt away over time. Ultimately, this reaction causes the hair to look and feel, damaged, dull, dry and brittle until it’s finally splitting at the ends and causing breakage.

So what can we do to prevent this type of damage? It’s really quite simple. Add some heat protectant to your routine!
