As the natural hair community continues to grow, the secret to protecting curly hair from heat damage continues to be sought after. Men and women are searching for hair productsthat will protect their natural hair from being damage during the process of executing certain styles while also being affordable. “Heat Damage is such sensitive topic for women with natural. When I do my consultations with clients I try to go through my process of keeping their hair protected if they choose to get a style that requires heat” said Natural Hair stylist Sanee Williams of Newark, New Jersey. There are a number of natural hair companies who are creating products to help keep natural hair healthy. There are also a number of products that can be used to prevent long term heat damage that are becoming more popular in 2018.
Natural oilslike Vitamin E oil is known for helping with natural hair growth, but it is also a light oil that can serve as a great heat protectant for men and women with 2a-3b hair textures.Often times, dry shampoos can be over looked by men in women with kinky curly hair textures (3c-4b), but the OGX dry shampoo with the argan oil infusion has changed that. Using Dry Shampooin between maintaining certain hair styles can decrease the amount of times heat is need in the hair. Dry shampoo allows people to cleans their scalp without wetting the hair.
Leave -in hair treatments can help to deeply moisturize the hair before using the blow dryer or flat iron to create a healthier finished look and keep the hair hydrated. The Cream of Nature Moisture Pure Honey Replenish & Strength Hair Mask is a product that works to bring curls back to life, especially after having hair straightened or left in a protective style for a long period of time. Treatment after adding heat is equally as important as treatment before adding heat. Within that same line of hair products, the Pure Honey Shampoo and Conditioner are additional helpful and affordable products that assist with keeping natural hair heathy and less likely to be vulnerable to heat damage.
“The key to keeping hair from becoming heat damaged over time is keeping your hair healthy by treating it properly before and after you use heat” said Sanee. The natural hair community can look forward to using a number of affordable hair products to keep their curls safe.
