Heat Protectant

Heat Protectant Spray

Heat is necessary to complete or speed up hair styling and hairdressing. When used excessively, it can damage hair. However, you can use heat and still have healthy-looking hair.

The secret is to ensure you have a quality heat protectant spray, cream, or other hair treatment as a key part of your collection of hair care and hair styling products.

From a blow-dry to using hair curlers or irons, heat can damage your hair. With an adequate heat protectant spray, you can minimise the potentially damaging effects of using blow dryers or hair straighteners a bit too often.

A Quick Guide to Heat Protectant Spray

Intensely coloured or bleached hair requires special attention when using heat because it has already been chemically altered. Heat adds another level of stress to hair treated in this way. If you blow-dry hair you will need to apply a different type of heat protectant spray than when making curls. Blowdrying lotions will help you a smooth blow-dry and keep the locks in place for longer.

If you use irons and straighteners, you need special heat protectants that will wrap the fibres in a protective sheet before applying heat to it. Moreover, special heat protectant sprays activate nutrients when exposed to hair and are an excellent way to make the best use of all that increased temperature.

Environmental Heat can Also Damage Hair

Heat comes from nature too. The Aussie sun can be ruthless if you don't care for hair appropriately with protective creams, oils or masks. When spending time outdoors, consider UV-filter sprays. Beach time should be fun and not a reason to end up with dry and dull hair. Generously apply a heat protectant spray to restore the damage of sunlight and saltwater on previously treated hair.
