Protection helps reduce damage, but temperature and styling technique still matter. A heat protectant is a necessary shield, not a total immunity pass.
How It Works
Heat protectants create a thin film that slows down heat conduction, preventing the “boiling” of moisture inside the hair shaft. However, if your iron is too hot or you pass over the same section repeatedly, damage will still occur. Use your protectant as a technical safety net while maintaining smart styling habits.
