2. Thermal protection
Heat protectants prevent thinning and drying out of your hair and also prolong the life of your styling. Special leave-in sprays create the thinnest film on the hair surface, which prevents moisture loss and protects against mechanical damage. As a result, hair remains healthy and shiny.
However, everything needs a measure. Do not overload the curls with a huge amount of products and oils, so they will quickly fall off and lose their volume. Opt for thermal protection with a weightless texture and your styling will last longer.
3. Correct temperature
Style fine and colored hair at a temperature not exceeding 150 ℃. Owners of healthy curls can warm up the styler to 150-180 ℃. For tough and naughty strands, a temperature regime of 200 to 220 ° C is needed. Given these nuances, your styler must have a thermostat that controls the heating temperature. Hence the following rule.
4. Correctly selected styler
In addition to the thermostat, a good styler should have a high-quality coating. Metallic coating is the cheapest, but also the most harmful to hair. With metal, the hair dries out and can even burn. The Teflon coating is more gentle to the hair, but after a year and a half it may wear off and you will have to buy a new device. The best option is a ceramic coating that distributes heat along the entire length and does not dry out the hair.
Some manufacturers go further by improving the ceramic coating with various additives. For example, the Swiss brand Polaris has developed a professional line of stylers Argan Therapy PRO… Argan oil is added to the ceramic plates, which preserves the internal moisture of the hair and its healthy appearance. Together with tourmaline ionization, this technology smoothes the hair cuticle, creating the effect of sealed ends.
