Heat on Hair

Heat from styling appliances damages hair in three ways:
  • Heat can weaken and destroy the proteins that hair is composed of.
  • Heat can disrupt the natural oils in hair that help hold it together.
  • Heat can dry out hair by boiling off moisture.

After this kind of heat exposure can be damaged much more easily which leads to split and broken hairs.
Heat Activated Vs. Heat Protection

Can heat activated/heat protection products really help? First, you have to understand these terms don't mean the same thing. Heat activated is more of a marketing term that doesn't really mean much. It just means that the ingredients in the formula do "something" different when exposed to heat. Fragrance, for example, can be encapsulated so that it releases when exposed to heat. Styling products can be heat activated because certain polymers they contain melt and spread better when heat is applied. So, just because a product is heat activated doesn't mean it offers heat protection.

Heat protection, on the other hand, is a "real claim" or at least as real as a hair care claim can be. Heat protection products work by coating the hair and lubricating it during heat. This conditioning effect reduces the amount of damage cause by blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons. So, if your exposing your hair to heat you need to use a product to protect it.
