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!

At Aveda, we offer a plethora of options when it comes to heat protectants. Weather it’s an easy to apply lightweight mist like our Brilliant Damage Control or a hydrating option like the Nutriplenish Leave-In Treatment for luscious healthy textured hair.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REALLY SHAMPOO MY HAIR?

As a professional hair stylist, the most frequent asked question is “How often should I wash my hair?”

The right answer is…that there really is not a right answer. The average person can go between 2-3 days, depending on lifestyle. A person with a dryer scalp & dehydrated hair may be able to go longer, whereas a person with higher oil production will have to shampoo more frequently. 

If your hair is visibly oily or limp, a more regular time frame may work best for you. Using products such Aveda’s Dry Shampoo or Rinseless Foam Reset will extend your in between days and give you volume on your next day hair.

Shampooing daily may strip natural oils and in turn, create more oil. Remember that the scalp is skin. Also, the scalp has pores. The process of shampooing isn’t necessarily damaging however, the hair is weakest when wet. Any kind of manipulation (pulling, combing, etc.) will add stress to your hair.

My advice is to use a professional shampoo that gently cleanses the scalp and hair. In addition, find products to use in between shampoos. And to answer the popular question above, find a shampoo schedule that fits YOUR lifestyle best!
