Flat irons and hot tools: how to reduce damage
Hot styling tools make hair neat, but repeated heat can weaken fine strands. Here is how to use them more safely.
Heat and fine hair
Thin, fine hair is affected by heat sooner. Strands can turn brittle and break over time.
Lower the temperature
Use the lowest setting that still works for your hair. Do not pass over the same section many times.
Dry hair only
Never use an iron on hair that is still wet. Use a heat protectant as the product directs.
Take breaks
Choose heat-free days each week. For a big event, plan ahead as in hair prep for an event.

Does heat make hair fall from the root?
It is more linked to breakage of the shaft, which can make hair look thin.
Can I use an iron after treatment?
Ask your consultant when it is fine and follow the aftercare guidance.
