Protecting your hair from heat damage
Nowadays, if you’re looking for a polished immediate look, you’ll use heat styling tools like curling iron or straighteners. However, we forget that regular exposure of the hair to high temperatures causes severe damage to your hair. But the good news is that with the right techniques and products, you can use heat styling tools to minimize the damage and keep your hair healthy. At Roots, we want you to achieve your desired look without sacrificing your hair’s health. In this blog, you’ll understand the heat damage and get a guide to safe and effective hairstyling.
Understanding heat damage to your hair
It’s important to understand what heat does to your hair before knowing how to prevent the damage. Heat breaks hydrogen bonds in your hair, leaving your hair weak. It can also strip off essential natural oils in your hair, which leads to long-term damage. There are some signs to know that your hair is getting damaged, like having split ends, if your hair is dry and brittle, and if you have a lot of flyaways. At Roots, we aim to balance achieving your desired hairstyles you want and keeping your hair strong and healthy.
Tips for using heat tools safely
1. Heat protectant
Before styling your hair, always use a heat protectant as it acts as a guard to avoid direct contact with high temperatures. It creates a coat on the hair strands that protects your hair and minimizes the effect of heat. Make sure to use protectants containing ingredients like silicone, keratin, or argan oil for the best results.
Pro Tip: At Roots Hair & Beauty Salon, we use heat protectants tailored to your hair type to ensure maximum protection during styling.
2. Take care of the temperature
Sometimes, we want to save time and do our hair faster, so the only option is to turn up the heat temperature to get faster results. Take care when you’re setting the temperature, damaged and brittle hair doesn’t handle high temperatures like a thicker and healthier one.
Pro Tip: At Roots, you don’t have to worry. We never expose your hair to a higher temperature than it can handle.
3. Invest in high-quality tools
Cheap styling tools don’t accurately display the real heat temperature increasing the risk of damaging your hair. Instead, try to invest in high-quality tools that include adjustable heat settings and ionic technology.
Pro Tip: During your hair consultation, you can ask our experts at Roots for tool recommendations that suit your hair type.
4. Dry your hair properly
Before using a straightener or a curling iron, you have to make sure that your hair is completely blow-dried to avoid any damage. Start using the blow-dryer at a low temperature, then increase the temperature gradually till your hair is fully dried.
Pro Tip: At Roots, we offer professional blow-drying services that prioritize your hair’s health while delivering the best results that suit your hair and taste.
5. Limit heat styling
Avoid daily hairstyling as it damages your hair over time. Limit the use of any heat tool to two or three times a week, not more. On a normal day, try braiding your hair or using rollers for volume.
Pro Tip: Roots Salon provides other styling solutions, including no-heat options and curly hairstyling to keep your hair healthy and strong.
