When styling natural hair with heat, a heat protectant is a must-have product to prevent damage, dryness, and breakage. It forms a protective barrier between your hair and the heat styling tool, reducing the risk of damage and keeping your hair looking healthy and vibrant.
Heat protectants work by coating the hair shaft with a layer of polymers that create a barrier against heat. This barrier helps to distribute heat evenly, preventing hot spots that can cause damage. Additionally, heat protectants often contain nourishing ingredients like vitamins and antioxidants that help to strengthen and protect the hair.
