Never Do It Alone!
Dying your hair at home alone is the worse thing you can do. You will always get to a point at the very back of your head you can’t see and can’t quite reach.

Hair heat protection is a set which all of us are guilty of skipping at some point in our lives. When we just want to style our hair with heat and don’t have protection at hand, or we just don’t know why we should bother spending the money on this extra product. Well, today we are going to share with you why heat protection is so important, why you should never skip hair heat protection again!

The main reason why you should be protecting your hair when using heated styling products such as straighteners, curlers, or a hairdryer is because of the damage it causes. Using heat on your hair without protection can seriously damage your hair which it may not recover from. For example, burning your hair is commonly caused when not using heat protection.

Using heat protection helps to ensure the healthiness of your hair is kept to its ultimate high. Helping to protect the elasticity of your hair and its overall health. The more heat you use, the more coarse and damaged your hair will become.

The most commonly used heat protection product is heat protection spray. This works by you spraying the product over your hair before using any heated styling tools. Allowing your whole hair to have a coating of this product that has been carefully designed in a way to protect all hair types.

So, after hearing about the damage you are causing to your hair, will you start using heat protection to keep it strong? Heat protection for your hair doesn’t have to be expensive, you can shop around and find some amazing deals, but the price point is worth it for the health of your hair. I’m sure if you ask any other hairdressers they will all say the same thing, your hair needs to be protected when using heat so please don’t skip this vital step.

If you’re looking to achieve quality results at home, first, you need to select the right colouring kit, and preferably one that is easy to use, dries within around 15 minutes and gives good dense colouring, which will often last for up to 21 washes! That’s the sign of a quality product, so always check how many washes will the colour withstand. Although it’s true that you have to also allow for the usual ‘wear and tear’ and exposure to sunlight. We know how easy it is to be overwhelmed by the many hair colouring products that are on offer in your pharmacy, chemists, and supermarket so to find the right colour you should match your hair to the switch panels on the side of the box and do not go more than 2 shades lighter or darker.

If you’re looking to enhance your base colour and cover just a few greys then you’re best to choose non-permanent colouring. If you want longer lasting results then choose permanent but be sure to read all the Instructions before you start.
