How To Protect And Revive Your Hair From Thermal Damage? 

Everyone feels that styling tools can create magic and make the hair look gorgeous. If you are among those who are into styling your hair regularly, then you need to account for the damage it does to your strands. Heat damaged hair has become a new norm. But yes, you can consciously protect your strands from the harmful effects of heat. Let’s find out how to safeguard your hair from thermal damage to make your hair look healthy and voluminous.

1. Avoid Further Damage

The most crucial step in fixing the heat damaged hair is to prevent further damage. If you want to use styling tools, remember to keep the temperature at the lowest. Keep your styling tools at least 5 inches away from your hair, while using them. High temperature and exposure to heat can damage the outer layer of your strands.

2. Use Heat Protector

While using a heating tool, always use a heat protector to minimize the damage caused by the heat on your strands.

Applying a heat protector spray all over your strands protects your hair and the cuticles from direct heat by forming a protective coating over the hair shaft. It also helps to seal the moisture inside.

Instead of frequently subjecting your hair to styling tools, try no heat hairstyles. There are plenty of trendy hairstyles which do not require the use of heating tools.

These hairstyles are simple, require no styling tools and no styling products, yet look so elegant. The best part is that these hairstyles are not at all time-consuming. In just a few minutes, you are ready to start the day with your fabulous hairstyle.

5. Avoid Towel Dry Your Hair 

When your hair is already damaged, avoid towel drying as it can create stress and friction between the strands, ultimately leading to hair loss and hair breakage. Rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel can lead to hair breakage, which can cause extra damage your cuticle.

After a shower, let your hair air-dry or you can loosely wrap a cotton T-shirt around your head and let it dry naturally. Alternatively, you can use a micro-fibre cloth as well to dry your hair.

6. Handle Wet Hair With Care 

Wet hair is more prone to breakage, so it should be handled with care. Never brush your hair when it is wet. Professionals recommend using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair.

7. Brush Your Hair Gently 

Damaged hair is fragile and more vulnerable to breakage and hair loss. So you should be extra careful while handling damaged hair. Don’t brush your hair vigorously, use brushes with soft bristles to minimize hair damage.

You can go for a hydrating and nourishing hair mask. It helps to make your dry, dull and frizzy hair more manageable and keeps the signs of damage and dryness at bay.
