Thermal Protection

One huge factor of damaged hair is thermal usage. Blow drying, straightening, and curling can dry out hair and damage it, but there are some solutions. The first solution I suggest is letting your hair air dry when its possible, then go over it with a flat iron, or get some good styling products to scrunch your hair up and just use thermal on your bangs. If you can adjust the heat on your flat iron or curling iron, use only the amount of heat you need, also ceramic plated flat irons add additional protection, and never curl or flat iron your hair if its even remotely damp! Another helpful solution is actually using a thermal protecting product, these products will coat your hair with protecting agents creating a barrier between your hair and the heat(caution thermal protecting sprays will steam/sizzle when using this is okay, it means the product is working). Many professional products already have thermal protectors in them, there are also sprays that you apply to your hair right before your thermal process leaving your hair soft and silky. Follow these tips and you will have healthier softer and much more grateful hair.

These are my favorite Thermal Protectors ..
