Tips for Reducing Heat Damage
1. Don’t use heat appliances.
Using heat on your hair isn’t a necessity. If you can go without using heat on your hair, you can use alternative drying methods to help you out. Instead of using a blowdryer you can air-dry your hair. When it comes to reducing heat damage, this is one of the most effective ways to do so.
2. Limit the amount of heat used on your hair.
If you must apply heat on your hair, opt for only creating heat styles for special occasions. It doesn’t hurt to use heat ever so often. When you do, stick to the best practices of using heat styling tools on your hair such as using a heat styling tool that allows you to control the heat settings.
3. Use heat protectants.
We don’t advise to ever go without using a heat protectant on your hair. There are so many different protectants you can use on your hair based on the look you’re after. For example, if you want sleek and shiny hair, use Dove Style + Care Smooth and Shine Heat Protection Spray.
