Many women who use thermal devices to style their hair don't realize the damage it causes. Of course the damage can be significant or minimal depending on the process used to achieve the desired style. The quality of the products and tools you use, and your routine make a significant difference. Opt for quality styling products that protect the hair along with promoting your desired style, shampoo and conditioner that will not only clean your hair but moisturize and protect it as well. Also you should select a professional blow dryer and iron that are made of the best quality materials possible. They will do the least amount of damage to your hair. Professional tools are designed to remove excess water and smooth the hair without stripping the hair of it's natural moisture.
1. Shampoo and condition with professional products to maintain moisture in the hair.
2. Rinse with cool water to lay down the outer layer of the hair shaft (helps to minimize frizz).
3. Apply your thermal protecting styling aid.
4. Dry your hair most of the way
5. Grab your concentrator nozzle and brush to finish drying. Take 2" sections starting at the nape and work your way up.
6. Make sure the hair is completely dry by going over your hair with the cool air setting. If the hair feels damp or cold to the touch, it's not completely dry. Before the next step your hair must be 110% dry!
7. Starting at the nape, section hair into 1" - 2" layers and begin straightening/curling. Make sure not to use too high of heat for your hair type. Continue up the head until the entire head has been done.
8. Once the hair is all curled/straightened, finish the style with an anti frizz shine serum/spray or hair spray.
