Apply Hair Care Without Silicones
The use of styling and hair care products has its drawbacks. They are frequently necessary to preserve and strengthen the integrity of your hair, but the more regularly you use them, the more probable it is that any residual accumulation may cause additional problems. Hence, the next time you use a leave-in conditioner, cream to tame frizz, and hair oil (or coconut oil) to seal everything in, definitely give it another thought.
Utilize Less Hot Tools
The heatless method won't be your best option if, for example, you're a naturally curly gal who desires straight hair. In most cases, using a hot iron or hair dryer in some way is unavoidable. Instead of getting touch-ups every day, aim to wear the same hairdo for many days at a time. Keeping styled hair intact (and preventing symptoms of heat damage) is now easier than ever, thanks to inventions like silk pillows and dry shampoo. Paying a hairdresser for a blowout on occasion could even be financially worthwhile because expertly dressed hair can last up to seven days.
Maintain Hydration in Your Hair
You can't expect already-parched hair to spring back to life by applying heat to it. Make sure the hair strands are moisturized before applying heat, or use a pretreatment spray that contains nourishing and hydrating chemicals.
Maintain Hydration in Your Body
Not only is water beneficial to the skin, stomach, and digestive system, but it also benefits your hair. Heat damage won't be an issue if your body is dehydrated, but your hair is well-hydrated.
Apply a Heat Shield
The most apparent choice is heat protectant spray, which is usually advised when using a styling tool.
Allow Hair to Air Dry until Sightly Damp
Allow your newly washed hair to air dry up to 80% of its length before styling.
Always Update Your Hot Tools
Even though your reliable hot tool has been serving you well for years, it could be time for an upgrade.
Perform Hair Detoxes Every Month
Regular use of heat protectant and other hair care products can, as previously said, naturally cause buildup. In turn, buildup causes the hair's integrity to be weakened, making heat and other stresses more likely to harm it.
