All girls know how important it is to take care of your tresses, but do you know how to prevent hair damage? One common question is "Does blow-drying and styling damage my hair?"
Although your hair might seem healthy, there can be unseen damage caused by blow-drying and using a straightening iron and/or curling iron. To help prevent damage, keep the blow dryer at least 6 inches away from your hair and use the warm (not hot) setting. There are also many awesome heat protectant sprays and serum for your hair that you can apply before using heat on your hair. My personal favorite is Nuetrogena Heatsafe, which you can find at most retailers. It protects your hair and smells delicious! Try to use a medium heat setting on your straightening iron or curling iron and don't hold your hair in it for more than a few seconds....if you see steam, release!
It's also best to wash your hair every other day, if possible. The natural oils from your hair act as a conditioner, adding shine and luster to your locks. If you have very oily hair, daily washing may be necessary, but you should use a healing shampoo and conditioner, such as Nuetrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner.
Another way to keep your hair looking fabulous is to take regular trips to the salon, every 6-8 weeks for a trim is best.
