3 Signs of Heat Damaged Hair

Been using the heat tools a little too much? It happens, but unfortunately it can leave unwanted results – heat damage.

When curly hair is heat damaged, it’s very noticeable, but the good thing is, you can take action and nurture your hair back to health.

1. Your once curly hair lacks elasticity – What does that really mean? Your hair doesn’t “snap back” once you pull it and let go.

2. You’ve lost your curl pattern – This is a major sign that you’ve got heat damage. Your hair is mostly straight and will not curl up again – even when water is added.

Maybe you should make it simple: 3. It smells a little odd – If you just recently used a heating tool that was turned up to high, you can actually smell your “fried hair.”

Once you notice damage, stop using heat all together or minimize it. So instead of using a hand-held blow dryer and following up with the flat iron, try roller setting your hair and sitting under a hooded dryer for a more sleek look.
