Heat Protectors

Just about every hairstylist talks about them. Anyone who uses any form of heat on their hair should definitely own one, and should use it every time a heated hair tool is used to protect the hair from overexposure to heat. but what kind should you use? I'm going to take a few entries to discuss different types of protectors that can be used on just about everyone.

Serums/oils

Usually non-water based, serums are good to use on the hair wet or dry. A little bit goes a long way(half-2 pumps), however, the hair is wet I usually use a tad bit more just to make sure that the product doesn't get diluted from the excess water left in the hair(2-5 pumps). Serums don't have to be blow dried! I know plenty of girls that put serums on their hair while their hair is air drying and they work just as well.

When applying a serum to the hair, first make sure that your hair is towel dried as much as possible. Next, pump the desired amount into your hand and rub your hands together. Then, run the product through the MID-SHAFT TO ENDS of the hair. Finally, after you've dried your hair with whatever you use, if you feel as if you need more before you flatiron your hair, apply more. If not, then flatiron, curl, or do whatever you do and call it a day! When used correctly, serums aren't greasy at all so there shouldn't be much left over on your hands. If there is, then rub them together to make your hands shiny and extra soft!
