How can you treat heat damaged hair?
In terms of using a product to protect your hair from heat damage, Caspara recommended Biotera’s 2:1 Protective Leave-in and Overnight Treatment.
“It both protects hair from thermal styling up to 450-degrees Fahrenheit, and can be applied and left on hair overnight,” she said. “It reduces breakage by over 80 percent when styling, and most importantly, it contains scalp-friendly ingredients.”
As a general rule, the New York-based hair growth expert explained, formulas that “consist of polymers and silicones will provide a protective layer and prevent overheating the internal structure of the hair.”
Hallajian added, “I love using the molecular repair mask by K18 to rebuild broken hair, and it works for all hair textures.” Plus, ingredients with shea butter, argan oil and almond oil can also help repair dry, brittle strands.
