One of the most prevalent issues people experience regarding their hair is heat damage. Although it can be treated, it's not always easy to fix. There are so many different ways you can prevent heat damage, but here are 4 simple tips that will help you avoid it:

1. Before styling your hair after getting out of the shower, use heat protection products. A heat protectant helps prevent damage from styling tools, curling irons, flat irons, and other hot appliances.

2. Use a wide-tooth comb when brushing your hair for easier detangling and less breakage or tangling.

3. If possible, avoid using the blow dryer after washing your hair because it damages the cuticle layer of your hair causing frizziness and flyaways! Instead try using a diffuser or dryer hood while drying your hair at low temperatures (no higher than 200 degrees F).

4. Don't use too much heat on your head during styling since this could cause damage to the cuticle layer of your hair preventing it from repairing itself properly which can result in split ends and breakage..
