Reducing Hair Damage With a Thermal Protector
The most common forms of hair damage come from heat damage as a result of styling appliances - flat irons, blow dryers and curlers - and from chemical damage from perms, coloring, relaxing or straightening. Heat damage, in particular, severely damages hair and leads to split-ends, lack of body and control, and visible signs of distress. Using a thermal protector prior to styling can provide significant protection from over-heating while adding shine and control in the form of a leave-in conditioner. Heat damage from styling appliances strips hair of moisture, hydration and nutrients. Think of it as "frying" your hair. Flat irons that lack heat control or that use metal plates can tear, rip and...
