Problems Caused By Heating Hair

Applying hot tools or air to your hair can cause potential issues. These problems include:

• Hair color pigments may change in color
• The proteins that give your hair strength can to break down after repeated exposure to heat
• Cuticles crack and lose their ability to protect hair
• Heat causes moisture from the interior layers of the hair to evaporate, and the escaping moisture produces breakage and split ends

How Do Heat Protectants Work?

A few heat-protecting ingredients, including octylacrylamide, acrylates, butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer, and more are what gives these kinds of products their benefits.

In general, these ingredients form a thin layer on the hair’s surface, providing a thermal barrier that helps to slow down heat intrusion and distributes it more evenly. When wearing these protectants, hair will heat up gradually rather than suddenly, resulting in less hair damage due to shock.

As an added benefit, heat protectants seal in the moisture already present in your hair, keeping it from becoming frizzy or damaged.

Properly Using Heat Protectant & Hairstyling Tools

Adding heat protectant to your hair is a great way to keep it looking great. But it is not a free pass to apply heat as liberally as you want! You still need to make sure you put the product on properly, and use your curling iron or other tool as directed.

If you’re using a heat protecting spray or a cream, distribute it evenly on damp hair from roots to ends. If you are using a hair straightener or other irons, wait until the hair is dry to apply a heat protector and begin styling.

Speaking of hair straighteners, curling irons, and such, look for hairstyling tools with adjustable temperature settings. Since hair is found in many different types, like fine or coarse textures, adjustable heat settings allows you to choose the right temperature for your specific hair type.

Fine or damaged hair requires lower temperatures and, therefore, thicker and stronger hair can handle higher temps. In general, try not to style with heat more than twice a week. When using a tool that gives off heat, limit contact and exposure by moving frequently. Using a cooler tool for longer is better than using a hotter tool for any amount of time! And if at any point you hear sizzling or smell burning, stop what you are doing and turn down the temperature!
