Give your hair the best protection you can
Straightners, heated curlers, hairdryers and tongs, our hair is put to the test each and every day. But there is a little product that we can use to give it that little bit of extra protection.
Nobody wants frazzled locks, so take a look at our review of the best hair protectors.
Celebrity hairdresser to the stars Asgar based at the luxurious Daniel Galvin salon in Baker Street shares his knowledge of heat protectors and tells you exactly why you should be using them.
“Hair straighteners, curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers are marvellous hairdressing tools which can help you produce great hair styles. However you must protect your hair against the damaging effects of daily blow drying, straighteners and curling irons. You have the choice of many heat protection products. Some are especially designed to give you
straight shiny hair or springy curls. You can select the optimum for your needs and provide the best protection for your hair. Don’t forget to protect your hair every time you apply heat to it using heat protection spray. Before blow drying, spray your hair with a good quality heat defence styling spray. Then blow dry your hair 80 % dry just using your fingers. Finish drying your hair with a round brush for a smoother texture. Remember there is one rule when you expose your hair to heat – the hair must be protected.”
