Hair heat damage, what is it?
Hot tools break the hair cuticles, which leave the inner cortex of the hair exposed. Instead of having cuticles to protect the cortex, the inner cortex gets damaged which makes it brittle, weak and likely to break.
Signs your hair is heat damaged include:
- > frizz
- > tangles
- > texture change
- > difficulty styling
- > dull & dry appearance
- > split ends
- > breakage
- > hair loss
- > unpredictable colour
What to do if your hair is heat damaged?
Professional treatments are the only way to make a serious difference in your hair’s health. In-salon treatments are stronger, using products that aren’t available as retail products. Professional treatments also use heat activation like a climazone or hot tools to thermally activate ingredients.

- Keratin – The longest lasting, most deeply repairing treatment lasting 3 months.
