Namely
Our heating appliances are part of our daily lives, whether it's our hair straightener, our curling iron or our hair dryer. But we must be careful about the frequency of their use, the level of heat used and the products we can apply in order to preserve our hair. Alternatives with heat-free tips, such as heat-free curls, exist and can help you reduce the use of heating appliances, but the use of some has more interest than you think!
The hair dryer
Contrary to what you might think, the hair dryer is our daily friend on our shampoo day. When washing, the water will open the scales of our hair, leaving the door open to all external aggressors such as pollution or dust for example. The scales of your hair being open, it is the ideal time to apply your care such as your conditioner, your mask, your leave-in treatment or your usual serum. The action of the hair dryer, once your rinse-out treatment is rinsed(discover our rinse-out treatments) and your leave-in treatment and/or serum applied (discover our leave-in treatments) , it will close the scales of your hair and thus, contain the benefits and active ingredients inside your hair. You also have the option of applying a heat-protective and styling treatment to your damp hair in order to be able to fight against frizz and frizzy hair for a long time, and the use of heat during drying will activate and amplify the effects of the product. Finally, the drying action of your hair dryer, thanks to its heat, is beneficial in order to bring shine and suppleness to your hair fiber.
As for the heat level, there is no need to use very high heat to dry your hair. An intermediate or gentle heat is perfectly suitable to not sensitize your hair fiber in the long term.
The hair straightener
Do you love to create an ultra-smooth look or create pretty curls, waves or a mermaid effect? Be sure to always use a heat protector to preserve your hair fiber from heat and to use an appropriate heat when creating your best styles!
The heat protector, whether you have straight, curly, frizzy hair, etc., will wrap around and act like a shield on your hair, in order to protect it from the heat of your heating appliances.
In the form of a spray like the GHD thermo-protective spray or a styling product like the Dream Coat from Color Wow , these are essential for everyday use so as not to dry out your hair with heat. It is also important not to use too much heat for your straightening at the risk of completely burning the hair fiber!
🔥 Warning: above 185°C it directly burns your hair fiber
The curling iron
Just like the straightener, the effect of heat on your hair will sensitize it and dry out the hair fiber. It is therefore necessary before using your curling iron to apply a heat protector in the form of a spray or a leave-in styling product before creating your best looks!
