Hair protection
Everyday hair styling is inextricably linked to high temperatures. Using hair dryers, curlers and straighteners exposes the strands to drying and damage. Fortunately, this can be prevented by using appropriate thermal protective cosmetics that protect the hair from the harmful effects of high temperatures. Protect your strands during styling and style them exactly as you like!
Why is thermal hair protection so important?
Hair is damaged not only by regular dyeing and intensive treatments, but also by constant contact with high temperatures. Many people independently and unknowingly worsen the condition of their strands during everyday drying or straightening of their hair. The use of hot air dryers and straighteners, which can be heated up to 230°C, is particularly harmful. The lack of any thermal protection causes the strands to becomedry, dull and lacking shine, they also become electrified and split easily.
Hair exposed to high temperatures loses water, and its protective layer and ceramide bonds are damaged. As a result of regular contact with heat, the locksthey start to tangle, frizz and break. Unfortunately, this process cannot be reversed, so it is worth getting good thermal hair protection cosmetics as early as possible. Applying thermal protection to damaged strands will not repair the damage done earlier, but it will prevent further damage to the strands.

How do thermoprotective cosmetics work?
The secret of the action of thermo-protective cosmetics lies, of course, in their unique composition. Professional protective products very often containsilicones– the polymers contained in them lubricate and moisturize the strands and create a protective film on their surface, which protects the hair shaft from high temperatures. In the composition of some cosmetics you can also find wood sugar calledxylose, which melts under the influence of heat and covers the hair with a tight protective layer. Products that protect the strands from high temperatures also includesilk and jojoba oil.
How to use thermal hair protection products?
The method of using thermal protection depends on the type of cosmetic chosen. Among others, they are available on the marketsmoothing creams, oils, milks and thermal protection sprays. The latter are the most popular – mainly due to their light, non-burdening formula and easy application.
Spray the protective spray from a distance of about 30 cmfor damp or dry hair, and then style the locks. If the locks have not had time to dry naturally, apply the spray before using a dryer. You can also apply it to completely dry hair, for example before using a curling iron or straightener.
Heat protection products should be used every time before styling with high temperatures. Protecting your hair from heat is not just about styling –It is also worth using thermal protection before visiting the sauna or going to the beach.
