Using styling tools such as flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers can give the impression that your hair was done in a salon. On the other hand, using heat frequently can lead to dry, brittle, and lifeless hair. This is where a heat protection spray comes to the rescue. It shields the hair from the direct heat of the styling tools, thus keeping the hair moisturized and free from damage.
