Using an stretcher, dryer or other heat-grinder helps hair get gray, reduce frizz, but can also cause serious damage if overused: dry, broken, split ends and loss of nutrients. Therefore, the golden principle is to balance beauty and healthy hair care.
1. By hair type
- Natural straight hair: This is the easiest type of hair to care for. If you regularly use an stretcher or dryer, your hair will lose its natural moisture. The appropriate frequency is up to once a week.
- curly or wavy hair: People with curly hair often want to stretch or dry their hair to put in a basket. However, creating daily heat can cause hair to lose its protective cuticle, leading to frizz and breakage. Ideally, reduce the number of times used to the required level, avoid continuous use.
2. According to hair health status
- Chemically treated hair (dyed, bleached, curled): This is the weakest hair group. Chemicals have caused hair to lose many nutrients, so continuing to use heat only causes more damage. The best advice is to limit hair extensions to the maximum, even completely avoid stretching.
- Heavy hair loss, weak hair: The hairstyle using heat needs to be reduced to about 2 weeks each time, combined with restoration.
3. Balancing between beauty and hair protection
Hair extensions bring a neat look, but healthy hair is the foundation of long-term beauty. Therefore, using moderate heat, combining moisturizers, conditioners, hair masks and heat-protective Serums will help you keep your hair shiny and strong.
