Why Is Using A Heat Protection System So Important For My Hair?

If you are one of the thousands of women and men who use hair dryers and especially hair straighteners on a daily basis then you must protect your hair before you style as the continuing use of heat on your hair will eventually lead to dull, weak and unnourished hair. Investing in protection for your hair is another way to maintain your style, everyone buys shampoo and conditioner without a thought as well as the products they use to style their hair but many people overlook the need for hair protection. Our daily washing removes the natural build up of oils meant to protect and maintain hair and styling with heat will weaken and damage the hair.



A weekly oil based treatment will help maintain your hair if you do not style with heat everyday as the environment (UV rays from the sun and wind), colouring and heat are the main things that can cause damage to your hair, not just hair dryers and straighteners.

Heat protection has become very important with the increased use of hair straighteners, the maximum temperature of straighteners can vary from one model to the next with the usual range going up to 200 degree centigrade and hair thermal protector spray work within the same range. Unfortunately, fake versions of certain models will also reach a higher maximum temperature and damage hair even when you think it is protected so if you are using straighteners then check the temperature range before buying a thermal spray to ensure they are compatible and your hair is properly protected.

The range of heat protection serums, creams and sprays available has increase to include GHD's own Thermal Protection Spray which is compatible with the GHD hair straightening range but there are many other brands available. The type of product you should use will depend upon your personal hair type and style, finding a heat protector to suit fine-normal, dry-coarse and weak-damaged hair is possible with UV and heat protection to hydrate and nourish hair as you style.

Having your hair regularly styled to remove dead and split ends will also help with the overall condition of your hair and help the protection system work.
