We know that many of our readers love to use heat tools to have very straight hair, with waves, or just want a different look. And the results are great!

However, we must be careful when using heat, because if we do not protect our hair properly, it can end up very damaged and not look as beautiful as we would like in its natural state. As we always tell you, it is not about stopping doing those looks or hairstyles that you love, but about taking care of our scalp in the process.

How to do it? We must start by getting down to work and looking for tips and products that help us in the mission.

All hair has different shapes, textures, lengths, and each of us learns how to wear it the way we like it. When we break that texture, either with the iron, curling iron, or dryer, it is natural that we neglect our natural hair and do not take into account products made to protect it from heat or avoid certain things that could put it at risk.

Do you feel identified with the above? Don’t worry! We are going to share with you our golden secrets to take care of hair from the heat.

How does heat affect my hair?

First, and most importantly, is that our hair becomes dry or dehydrated, why? Because moisture escapes, which ends up making it look dry and brittle.

These effects will also depend on each type of hair. If, for example, it is thinner, then it is also more sensitive, which will make it likely to fall and break much faster. These are factors that depend on genetics and that each one will discover based on the experience they have with their hair.

4 secrets to take care of your hair from the heat

We know how common it is to use an iron, dryer, curling iron or any other tool with heat, for that reason, we want to share secrets or tips of what you could do so that your hair is doubly protected and does not feel so mistreated.

Do not be scared or think that you will not be able to enjoy the perfect hairstyle, better prepare for everything and take into account these secrets:

#1. Cut your hair regularly

Haircuts are an incredible option to remove impurities, burned remains, split ends, in short … Everything that feels damaged in your hair! It can be a very simple cut and just to “clean” certain areas, but doing it is a great way to start enhancing your hair.

#2. Avoid drying it every day

Although the frequency depends on each one of us and our needs, it is important not to abuse (remember that everything in excess is bad!). Therefore, if possible, try to distribute the drying days so that your hair can take a break from so much heat.

#3. Use the lowest temperature of your tool

Whether it’s a blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron, try to keep them to a minimum so you don’t burn your hair. And if you decide to use the highest temperature, either because you are in a rush or because you prefer that temperature, be sure to use a heat protectant before starting to ensure that your hair will be protected in the process.

#4. Don’t forget the moisturizing products, ok?

We always remind you of this, but it is very important and sometimes you may forget: choose products specially made to hydrate and use heat protection! Make sure the entire line takes care of that because with heat tools your hair is going to lose a lot of moisture and can become dry. Remember that at Maka we have a perfect moisturizing line for you and an incredible thermal protector.

Before we go, remember that it’s all about having a balance and not overdoing yourself. It is possible for you to maintain a hair care even if you constantly dry it, you just have to be a little more careful.
