Why Your Hair Needs Heat Protectant

When you think heat protection for your hair do you think hot tools or sun?

Your hair needs heat protection against both hot tools + sun. Blonde hair will especially benefit from the use of heat protectant as your hair has been lifted to a more fragile state. As the weather starts to heat up in Toronto it is important that we use a heat protectant, specifically with UV protection to help protect blonde hair. Heat protectant helps to protect blonde strands from breaking or becoming brittle. You can think of heat protectant like sun for your hair.

Heat protectant acts as a barrier around the hair shaft that keeps moisture in the inner hair strand and prevents heat from decaying your the barrier built by proteins on your hair strand.

4 reasons to use Heat Protectant when going in the sun

1. Sun dehydrates the hair removing natural moisture in your inner hair strand. Heat protectant can help to maintain moisture in your hair strand.

2. Sun makes hair brittle. When moisture is removed from your hair strand you are left with dry hair that feels brittle and no longer appears shiny. Heat protectant can help to maintain your hair strands moisture barrier to keep your hair feeling soft and shiny even on the hot summer days.

3. Heat protectant can help to prevent your hair colour from fading due to the effects of sun exposure. When heat removes moisture from your hair strand it can also encourage toner or other hair colours to fade from the hair shaft. Using heat protectant supports keeping your hair strand barrier sealed to prevent hair colour fading from heat.

4. Prevents environmental elements from causing damage to the hair. Heat protectant acts as a barrier for your hair strand to the outer world. It can aid in protecting your hair from friction which can lead to breakage. It also helps prevent build up on your hair strand from dirt, chlorine or salt that can lead to damage over time.
