Hair dryer and flat iron fans know very well that if not used properly, these two allies can become great villains of hair. And those who do not leave the house without drying and straightening, must have wondered if it is possible to maintain healthy hair using a hairdryer and flat iron.
The answer is yes and the secret is how to use them. Using a hair dryer and ironing board every day is not harmful to your hair as long as you moisturize the hair once a week. In the dryer, choose a stable power, avoiding high temperatures and always protect the wires with specific products, the same tip goes for the flat iron.
The dryer should always be 15 cm away from the wires and should not be left for more than three seconds standing on a single strand. The flat iron is a great aggressor of the hair and causes burns, so you have to take extra care, for example, use it at least three centimeters away from the scalp at a stable temperature, not repeat the procedure several times on the same strand. and never use with damp wires.
Specific products, such as non-rinsing creams and those with a thermo-activated effect, should be applied to damp hair before using a hair dryer and flat iron. They form a protective layer that facilitates drying and shaping, giving more movement to the hair. Hydration should be done with keratin and protein products based on shea butter oils. Night moisturizing creams are also a great option for taking care of your hair while you sleep without having to wash it the other day.
