straighteners, curling irons and hair dryers can ruin your hair? What remedies to take?

For every woman the fold, whether smooth, move or curly, is crucial to feel good and always look tidy. For this reason, the best allies of women’s hair and not only, are the hot tools such as hair dryers, plates and curling irons.

However, high temperatures can be aggressive towards the hair. Why? Have you ever wondered what happens to hair that comes into contact with high temperatures? And what solutions can there be to not give up a perfect crease without damaging the hair?

Let’s discover together some characteristics of the hair

The main ingredient of our hair is keratin. The chains of keratin present within the cortex are made up of some chemical bonds, which determine the structure of our hair.

These chemical bonds are composed of different elements (salt bridges and hydrogen bonds) that, in contact with water and heat, break up and then recompose.

The cuticles, subjected to temperatures above 180 degrees, can therefore damage and no longer be able to protect the inner layers of the hair, causing permanent damage.

What solutions can be implemented?

- Use a thermo-protector before proceeding with the drying of the hair or with the fold
- Choose lower temperatures where possible
- Limit the heat of the hair dryer, keeping it at a greater distance from the head

What is a thermo-protector?

It is a cosmetic product to be applied to the hair, which "defends" it, through a protective shield, from the aggression caused by hot tools.
