Caring For Straightened Hair

Women will go to great lengths when it comes to their hair and achieving the ultimate style. Constant colouring, curling and straightening can take its toll especially if care is not taken to protect the hair and minimise damage.hair straighteners
Hair has a natural cleaning and growing process yet over-treating and over-styling can leave it looking lack lustre and prone to breakages. There is nothing worse than dull, dry hair overwrought with split ends but so many ignore the initial warning signs and continue to apply excess heat or products, which ultimately damage their hair.
When it comes to straightening the hair either by using hair straighteners or hot flat irons, the hair is exposed to extreme high temperatures and over the long term this leads to dry, brittle hair which eventually breaks. Before using any form of heat appliance on your hair you should always compensate by using vitamin enriched moisturisers. Try to avoid drying the hair with a hair dryer and towel dry instead. If you must use a hair dryer select a low temperature and limit the heat to the use of the hair straighteners. Be sure to apply a rich moisturising balm before using heated iron plates as this will protect the hair to a certain degree and lock in the hair’s natural moisture. If you do not require the straight hair look everyday give your hair a day off and let it to resort back to its natural curly state. By giving your hair a break from excess heat you will be allowing it time to recover.
