5 Tips for Protecting Your Hair

chi-silk-infusionIf you regularly use a flat iron to style your hair, you know that heat styling tools will eventually take their toll. But did you know that there is something you can do about it? Don’t just sit there while your hair becomes dry, frizzy and out of control! Here are 5 tips for keeping your hair beautiful and healthy:

  • Use a product specially formulated for use with your flat iron to keep your hair moisturized and manageable. Chi hair products like their Silk Infusion, shown here, will fortify hair and prevent buildup.
  • Don’t turn your iron up all the way! This is a recipe for disaster. Unless your hair is exceptionally coarse or curly, there is no need to crank the temperature as high as it will go.
  • Give your hair a break from the flat iron every now and then. Even the very best thermal styling tools, like Chi hair products, are not designed to be used every single day.
  • Make sure hair is completely dry before flat ironing, unless you have a special wet-to-dry iron. This will prevent frizz and damage.
  • Replenish hair’s strength with a regular deep conditioning treatment.
