1. Deep condition regularly

Regular deep conditioning is necessary when using heat to style your hair. This step will help to repair damage and keep hair moisturized.

2. Use a heat protectant

Always use a heat protectant when heat styling. Many heat protectants contain silicones, so if you’re on a curly girl hair routine, use an oil like coconut or grapeseed.

3. Use a low setting

You don’t always have to blast your hair with heat to get the style you want. Try using your blow dryer or flat iron on a lower setting to minimize damage.

4. Protect your hair at night

Keep your hair wrapped up when you sleep to help keep ends smooth and moisturized. It also helps to minimize breakage and can help your style to last longer.
