Are you using heat on your hair regularly?
Styling your hair with heat every day isn’t a rare occurrence. It’s hard to stay away from straighteners, curling irons, and even blow dryers. But perfectly-styled hair comes with a price.
Using heat on your hair can cause heat damage if you aren’t careful. Getting rid of frizz is one thing, but getting split ends and fried strands is another.
Repeated use of heat to style your hair can take it from healthy and shiny to dry and weak quickly if you aren’t protecting your hair.
But no-heat looks can get boring! So, how can you stop damaging your hair with heat?
Mood Hair has the answers. With our Bodyguard Heat Defender Spray, you’ll be able to protect your hair from heat while nourishing it to keep your strands healthy.
Let’s take a look at all the ways you can stop heat damage before it happens.
Do You Need To Protect Your Hair From Heat Damage?
If you’ve been using heat to style your hair regularly and haven’t seen any negative side effects yet, you might be wondering if you even need a heat protectant.
The short answer is yes.
The long answer is that over time, heat will continue to weaken your hair. So while you may not be seeing damage now, you might find breakage and frizz in your future.
Each strand of hair has an inner cortex and an outer cuticle. Each layer has something different.
The inside is made of moisture and melanin, while the outside is a protective layer of keratin cells.
When you use heat on your hair, you evaporate the moisture inside of the strand, which changes the structure of your hair (ie. straight or curly) but also leaves it dry and damaged. So even if you aren’t seeing the effects of heat on your hair now, it’s still damaging every strand.
This is why you need to use a heat protectant on your hair!
What Does A Heat Protectant Do?
Let’s explore what a heat protectant does and what it is made out of so that you can choose the best fit for your hair!
Heat protectants are products that coat and protect your hair from damage caused by heat. They provide a protective layer on each strand to reduce weakening strands, breakage, and frizz.
With ingredients like silicon, proteins, and keratin, heat protectants create a barrier that seals in moisture and coats the outer cuticle to leave it smooth and shiny.
Heat protectants can come in many different forms. You can get them in sprays, conditioners, or creams.
Choose one that is made for your hair and in a form that you like! Heat protectants should be applied before every use of heat on your hair.
How To Protect Your Hair From Heat Damage
You need to be protecting your hair from heat damage, or you might find your healthy locks getting frizzed up and dried out.
But throwing out all your hot hair tools isn’t an option, and heat-styling on a regular basis might stay a part of your routine.
If you’re going to be using heat on your hair, you need to invest in a heat protectant. But what else can you do to protect your hair?
Let’s take a look at some options!

Use Moisturizing Products And Deep Conditioners
Even before you use heat protectants or style your hair with heat tools, you should be deep conditioning your hair!
Since heat evaporates the moisture and water in the hair strand, making sure that your hair isn’t dry to begin with is important. While products like Mood Hair’s heat protectant spray will help moisturize your hair, your hair will love any bit of moisture it gets!
Use a hair mask or a deep conditioner every week to make sure that you keep your hair moisturized. This will reduce dryness and frizz from heat damage.
Don’t Use Heat On Wet Hair
Using hot tools on wet hair might seem like a life hack, but doing this will destroy your hair.
Trying to use heat on damp hair is a nightmare. Water conducts heat, meaning that the moisture in your hair will shoot up to boiling temperatures in an instant. This will cause breakage and weaken the strands.
Don’t do this! Instead, let your hair air dry or even blow dry your hair until it’s safe to style with heat.
Turn The Heat Down
And of course, you can always turn the heat down.
Using your styling tools at the hottest temperature might lead you to believe it’ll be quicker, but it’s only serving to damage your hair more.
Instead, take a little more time and care with your hair and turn the temperature down. Your hair will still get styled the way you want at a lower temperature, and you won’t fry your strands.
