Heat Protectants 101
How heat protectant works
Heat protectant is a must before heat styling because it creates a protective layer between the strand and the extreme heat of the tool. When you apply heat to your hair you are breaking down keratin proteins in your strands that provide strength and elasticity. The heat also dries out your strands and can cause it to become brittle. A heat protectant slows down heat conduction and helps distribute it in a manner that won’t put all the stress on one area of your strands. Not only does heat protectant provide this shield; it also leaves your hair frizz-free and noticeably softer and smoother. Check out our current top heat protectants:
