Editor’s Tip: Heated styling tools have a tendency to dry out your hair — the result of not being able to retain its moisture. Don’t forget to always protect your hair when styling with heat. Spritz on some TONI&GUY Heat Protection Mist, even if it’s just to blow dry your hair. This product can protect your hair from heat of up to 230 degrees, which makes it a favorite backstage at all the big shows!
3. Dutch Braid
One of the most essential braids, the Dutch Braid is also known as the inside-out braid. Use it as a base for a number of other braided hairstyles that can keep your hair looking good even when it’s not feeling that great.
Editor’s Tip: Using the proper cleaning, prepping, and conditioning products for your hair can protect it from environmental and styling damage. Dove Intense Repair Shampoo and Dove Intense Repair Conditioner doesn’t just repair surface damage on your strands, it goes deep in to nourish them and protect from future damage.
