Heat protectants help to benefit the hair by providing a protective layer against excessive heat. With ingredients like silicone, wheat proteins and keratin \u2014 protectants reduce heat damage caused to the hair through heat styling tools. Think sunscreen for the hair.<\/p><p>Continuous use of heat styling tools like straighteners, curling wands and yes, even hair dryers can dry out the hair, making it brittle and prone to damage. This is why a heat protectant should be at the top of your hair care list if you frequently blow out, straighten or curl your hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What does heat protectant do for your hair?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat protectants benefit the hair in these ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. They provide much-needed moisture to the hair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your hair loves moisture, it can\u2019t do without it! It is why great conditioners are a necessary part of hair care. Moisture helps to improve the hair\u2019s health. With vitamins and fatty acids present in heat protectants, they make for great hair moisturizing ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Heat protectants seal moisture into the hair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get this \u2014 not only do heat protectants moisturize the hair, they make sure this moisture stays in by forming a layer over the hair shaft, trapping moisture in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Heat protectants help to reduce frizz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad, frizzy hair days \u2013 0, your hair on heat protectants \u2013 1<\/p><p>Heat protectants smoothen the cuticles of the hair shaft. This helps to regulate how much water the hair takes in, reducing the risk of frizziness in humid weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Heat protectants make the hair easier to manage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spend a little too much time getting your hair presentable enough for public viewing most mornings, you\u2019ll love this added benefit of heat protectants! Remember how heat protectants provide moisture to the hair? This moisture keeps the hair lubricated, making it easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What hair types work best with heat protectants?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re curly, straight, have type 1 or are crowned with type 4 hair, heat protectants benefit all hair types and can be applied over wet or damp hair. Heat protectant is necessary for all hair types and should be applied whenever you use a hot tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to apply heat protectant\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat protectants come in sprays, serums and creams. They should be applied sparingly to prevent weighed down hair. Thin hairs with less room to soak up oils should avoid greasy protectants, while thick hairs should use amounts that are easily absorbed.<\/p><p>Heat protectants are fantastic for hair care as they strengthen, moisturize and protect the hair. When it comes to heat styling, when your hair can\u2019t take the heat, don\u2019t step out of the kitchen\u2014grab a heat protectant instead! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Take the Prose consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In need of professional assistance when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/how-to-deal-oily-hair.php\">managing your <\/a>hair?
