We all know that styling, colouring and environmental factors can damage our hair - but it doesn't stop us partaking now does it?!
Today we're talking about damage caused by heat styling, and no that's not just your straighteners! With regular use, any form of styling using heat will inevitably lead to some damage; even your trusty hair dryer!
A really cool way to tell if your hair is suffering from heat damage is The Water Test. When you next find a stray hair, run your finger nail down the shaft to curl it (like curling ribbon with scissors). If when you drop the curled strand in a glass of water, it doesn't uncurl it means your hair has lost it's elasticity. Heat styling is normally the cause - it causes the cuticle to lift up to lift up, releasing valuable moisture and leaving shafts brittle.
Now of course, there are lots of hair products for repairing damaged hair, but as your nanna would say; prevention is better than cure. The easiest way to protect your hair is to use a Heat Protection Spray whenever you use ANY form of heat styling.
We're looking for 20 reviewers to put the Schwarzkopf got2b Guardian Angel spray to the test. This spray will protect your hair from heat damage - up to 220 degrees!
I straighten my hair three to four times per week and have a heat protestant spray that I use when I remember which hasn't been much lately oops!
