9. You Use Heat on Your Hair
Should I heat or not? The inquiry is this. Moreover, blow-drying destroys the surface of your hair strands even if it is stylish and frequently regarded as necessary. You can, however, air dry OR use a low heat level. Neither abuse it nor underuse it. Simply be modest! Heat styling tools—blow dryers, flat irons, and curling wands—can adversely compromise the structure of your hair at temperatures of up to 450°F (232°C). Regular extreme heat can break down the hydrogen bonds in your hair, weakening strands, producing split ends, and generally worsening the condition of your hair. Because the rapid evaporation of water bubbles the hair shaft from the inside out, heat applied to damp hair causes very severe damage. Before styling, always use a heat protectant product, keep the temperature setting at medium or lower, and keep a continuous moving motion with your styling equipment to minimize damage while nevertheless achieving your desired style. Some days you might wish to try overnight braids or twist-outs using heatless style techniques or appreciate your natural texture.
