Most of us use hair dryers, flat irons, and curling irons on our hair. Most of us also skip using a heat protecting product prior. Why is this so important you ask? Well, I will tell you:
1. Thermal stylers (Such as blow driers, flat irons and curling irons) cause thermal damage to your hair.
2. Some also help protect against breakage from the thermal stylers and brushing.
3. Some also help protect already damaged hair and help repair it.
4. Most have UV protection too.
Yes, UV rays, can cause damage to your hair, if you send enough time exposed to them. So just like protecting your skin, you want to protect your hair as well.
There are many different heat protectants out there from different companies, in a variety of price ranges, so you are bound to find one to fit your budget. Some are also geared towards a specific type of hair or hair difficulty, and have other great benefits. Even if you don't use product in your hair, I highly suggest using one of these, you will notice a difference.
My all time favorite is Aveda's Brilliant Damage Control. It's good for all hair types, protects against thermal damage, reduces breakage from brushing, and also protects against UV rays and is also a great detangler. It cost's $15 and can be purchased online or through any Aveda retailer.
Another is Suave Professionals Heat Protection Spray, price varies from store to store, but it can be found at most retail stores such as K-Mart, Target, CVS, and of course online at any of the same or suaves website. This one protects against heat damage only.
Bedhead has Some Like It Hot Serum, which smooths hair without weighing it down, adds shine, protects your color, and fights humidity, along with providing heat protection. This one also varies in price and can be found at authorized Bedhead retailers, or online.
Most are very easy to use by spraying on damp, towel-dried hair or using a small amount and working into hair and then blow drying and styling as desired.
Any one of these will be a great improvement to your styling process, you will love the way your hair looks and feels after using it.
