Protecting Hair From Blow Dryer and Flat Iron Damage

If you use flat irons or blow dryers on a daily basic,
protecting your hair might be a real concern. Protecting hair
from heat damage is one of the biggest concerns stylists hear
from their clients in the salon. Whether your hair is curly,
thick, thin, long or short, it can be damaged easily by a flat
iron or blow dryer. You may be well aware of the damage hair
color or chlorine can do to your hair. But, heat damage is
much more commonly seen by stylists.

Damaged hair can prevent your hair from looking healthy. Heat
damage can cause split ends, frizzy hair or hair breakage. You
may think you need to buy expensive hair products from designer
lines like Paul Mitchell or Sephora but you can get great
protection from many generic hair products as well.

Use these tips to prevent hair heat damage from occurring and
learn how to use a flat iron or blow dryer without damaging
your hair?s style and shine!

Prepare Your Hair

One of the easiest ways to protect your hair when using a flat
iron or blow dryer is to prepare your hair for the heat it will
endure. Instead of just using a comb or brush to prepare your
hair for drying or straightening, take more action. After you
wash and condition your hair, consider using one of the many
new beauty products which focus on heat protection. These
products can be found for the hair in various types such as
sprays, serums, lotions and gels. The best products are light-
weight, heat-activated and include hair-healthy ingredients.

Blow Dry On Low: Use Only The Heat You Need

Have you ever noticed how a professional stylist rarely blow
dries your hair on anything but low heat and speed? This is
not so they can avoid getting to their next client but is
because blow drying can cause a flash drying effect on your
hair. When done at excessive temperatures, it can remove
surface moisture and hair hydration. This can lead to your
hair becoming brittle, dry and frizzy. It?s best to avoid blow
drying your hair on a daily basis. But, if you can?t break the
habit be sure to take the extra time to blow dry your hair at
a lower temperature. With most hair dryers made equipped with
several heat levels and speeds, this should not be a problem.
Along the same line, be sure to only use as much heat as you
need not only when blow drying your hair but also when flat
ironing your hair. Thin hair may not require as much heat for
effective flat ironing as thick hair.

Only Flat Iron Clean And Dry Hair

Experts say those who flat iron hair with buildup of previously
used hair products in it is putting themselves at risk for hair
heat damage. Even the slightest dampness in hair can literally
cause the hair to ?cook? if you try to flat iron it, which will
swell the hair shaft and cause the protective hair moisture to
be removed.

While you may not be able to give up your blow dryer or flat
iron for an extended period of time, be sure to give your hair
a little break every now and then. In addition, when you must
use heat on your hair be sure to use as little heat as possible
and protect it beforehand with a hair protecting product.
