Heat protection for hair: How to protect your hair from heat

July 14, 2023

In today's blog post, we're going to talk about something that's important to all of us who style our hair - heat protection! Using the right products to protect our hair from heat can make a big difference when it comes to maintaining the health and beauty of our hair. In this post, we'll explore the importance of heat protection, give you practical advice and tips to protect your hair, and recommend some of our great products. So let's dive in!

Why is thermal protection important?

Heat styling is a common part of our beauty routine. We use curling irons, straighteners and hair dryers to create different hairstyles. But what many of us don't realize is that heat can cause damage to our hair. Here are some reasons why heat protection is so important:

  1. Preventing damage: Heat can make hair dry, brittle and easier to break. By using heat protection, you can create a protective barrier that reduces the risk of damage.
  2. Preserving the color: If you dye your hair, you probably want the color to last longer. Heat protection can help preserve the color and prevent it from fading prematurely.
  3. Reduces frizz: Heat can dry out your hair and make it more prone to frizz. By using heat protection, you can retain moisture in your hair and reduce frizz.

How to use heat shields correctly

Now that we understand why thermal protection is important, let's go through some practical advice for using it properly:

  1. Choose the right product: There are different types of heat protection, such as sprays, serums or creams. We recommend our Nourishing Heat Protection.
  2. Apply evenly: Spray or distribute the product evenly over your damp or dry hair. Make sure to cover all parts, from roots to ends.
  3. Use the right temperature: Adjust the heat of your styling tools to a lower temperature. It is not necessary to use the highest setting to achieve the desired result.
  4. Styling technique: Keep the styling tool moving when using it on your hair to avoid overexposure on a particular part.
  5. Moisturize: Remember to moisturize your hair regularly with moisturizing products to counteract dryness and damage from heat.
