Here’s the truth: If you’re as addicted to your hot tools as we are, you’re probably at risk of damaging your hair.
That being said, there are plenty of simple things you can do to keep your hair healthy like using a heat protectant, or simply learning about heat settings.
Using the right heat setting for your hair type can be your saving grace, so here’s our quick and easy guide to heat styling that leaves every hair type super glossy and healthy.
You’re welcome.
Keep it lowkey when heat styling fine and processed hair
If your hair is naturally fine, you need to treat it with the utmost care to avoid breakage. This is doubly true if your hair has become ultra-fragile due to processing.
If you’ve bleached, relaxed, or permed your mane, your hair cuticle is already open or damaged and heat styling can definitely further this damage.
When you're styling fine, processed hair with heat, 350°F/175°C is a safe bet. Anything over 370°F/190°C could potentially cause damage to your hair.
HOT TIP: Prepare delicate or damaged hair with a top-notch heat protectant like the ghd Straight & Smooth Spray - Normal/Fine Hair.
