Experts give their advice (and top product recommendations).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Whether you prefer to flat iron, curl or blow out your hair, one thing remains the same: All that heat can take a toll on your strands. High temperatures or frequent styling can harm the health of your hair. If you\u2019re dealing with heat-damaged hair, nursing your strands back to health may seem impossible. But with patience and the right products (and potentially the help of a professional), it can be done. We spoke to experts to find out exactly what happens to your hair when it\u2019s exposed to heat, how to repair heat-damaged hair, and how to protect hair from heat damage.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-heat-affect-your-hair\">How Does Heat Affect Your Hair?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Hair that\u2019s exposed to high temperatures loses its resilience and strength. That\u2019s because intense heat can dry out the outer layer of the hair, also known as the cuticle. \u201cThe cuticle develops small areas of injury, which represent breaks along the hair&#8217;s cuticle,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carencampbellmd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caren Campbell, MD<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in California.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>High heat also zaps hair of its critical hydration levels. \u201cHigh temperatures can also cause the hair\u2019s natural oils and moisture to evaporate,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ahappyjustin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justin Toves-Vincilione<\/a>, a California-based hairstylist and advocate with Authentic Beauty Concept. \u201cHair is made up of keratin proteins, and high heat can permanently change the shape of these proteins on a molecular level\u2014causing irreversible damage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-heat-damaged-hair-look-like\">What Does Heat-Damaged Hair Look Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"a4a5aa\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #a4a5aa;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/damaged-hair.png\" alt=\"heat damaged hair under microscope\" class=\"wp-image-28087 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/damaged-hair.png 767w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/damaged-hair-640x434.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Wondering how to tell if your hair is heat damaged? You\u2019ll likely be able to see it (or feel it), experts say. \u201cSigns of heat damage include hair looking dry and dull, a lack of moisture, split ends, frizziness, rough or changed texture, hair loss, and frequent tangling,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsssmckenna_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">McKenna Watts<\/a>, a hairstylist based in California.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Another giveaway? A change in color. \u201cHeat-damaged hair may even appear lighter than normal on the ends,\u201d Toves-Vincilione says. \u201cWhether the hair is virgin or colored artificially, the high heat causes color molecules to oxidize and look lighter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>And if you have curly or textured hair, you might notice a significant change in your hair\u2019s look and feel. \u201cCurly or tight, textured hair that is heat damaged usually appears lighter on the ends and feels coarse and extra dry,\u201d Toves-Vincilione says. \u201cThis is due to high temperatures stripping the hair of natural oils that this hair type already naturally lacks. In some cases, curly hair can lose its curl pattern and appear straight due to heat damage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>On a microscopic level, Dr. Campbell says this damage is even more noticeable. \u201cDamaged hair under a microscope looks like bark that is peeling off the trunk\u2014and the more peeling, the more damage that\u2019s present.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-repair-heat-damaged-hair\">Can You Repair Heat-Damaged Hair?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"b2a590\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b2a590;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/GettyImages-623848420.jpg\" alt=\"blowdrying hair\" class=\"wp-image-28089 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Damage caused by temperatures above 365 degrees is irreversible, says Toves-Vincilione. \u201cThe breakdown of the hair at these temperatures doesn\u2019t reflect the same characteristics as healthy hair. It can be treated but not restored,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Dr. Campbell says there is some evidence that bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate (a molecule discovered by scientists) can help repair the bonds that get broken down from heat damage. \u201cYou can also use oils to help smooth the \u2018ruffled\u2019 cuticle, but that won\u2019t repair the underlying issue,\u201d she explains. Adding a deep conditioning mask a few times a week may also help to improve hair\u2019s appearance, but as with hair oil, it won\u2019t get to the root of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The good news? New <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-grow-hair-faster\/\">hair growth<\/a>, if you can minimize heat tools and potentially damaging styles, will be undamaged. But to get rid of damage, you\u2019ll need to trim it off. \u201cDepending on how much damage you have, you may have to be willing to have some short hair,\u201d Watts says. Follow the big chop up with regular trims to ensure your ends are as healthy as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-products-for-heat-damaged-hair\">The Best Products for Heat-Damaged Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>So, what can you use to repair heat-damaged hair? Experts list their go-to products, below.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/olaplex.com\/products\/olaplex-no-3-hair-perfector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector, $28<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>This product contains bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which is known to help repair broken bonds in hair. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-need-protein\/\">protein<\/a> ingredients can help build your strands\u2019 strength too. Apply it once a week to see best results, Watts says.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/1\/red-carpet\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM Nutrition Red Carpet, $26<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Build healthier hair from the inside out. While this supplement won\u2019t repair damaged hair, it\u2019ll help fortify hair against future breakage. The star ingredient, vitamin E, nourishes the hair follicle ensures new hair growth is healthy and shiny.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shea-Moisture-Extra-Virgin-Coconut\/dp\/B00ZED1G4C\">SheaMoisture 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, $12<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Looking for a DIY way to address heat damage on hair? Try a coconut oil treatment, Watts says. \u201cUnlike other oils, coconut oil gets deep in the cuticle and penetrates the hair shaft,\u201d she explains. The best time to use this is at night, as it has more time to work on your hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/gisou-honey-infused-hair-oil-P462352\">Gisou Honey-Infused Hair Oil, $87<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>This hair oil is formulated with sustainably-sourced honey to deeply nourish and protect your strands. Apply on damp hair for protection or on dry hair for added moisture and shine.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulta.com\/p\/replenish-mask-pimprod2014973\">Authentic Beauty Concept Replenish Mask, $38<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis vegan formula strengthens the hair and seals the cuticle,\u201d Toves-Vincilione says. \u201cNatural ingredients like rice and pecan shell extracts work to replenish dry, heat damaged hair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-prevent-heat-damaged-hair\">How to Prevent Heat-Damaged Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"bdaca2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #bdaca2;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/GettyImages-1284541685.jpg\" alt=\"repair heat damaged hair\" class=\"wp-image-28088 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Since heat damage is often irreversible, prevention is key. \u201cThe best practice you can adopt is to always use a heat protectant before blow drying or applying a hot tool,\u201d Toves-Vincilione says. \u201cAnother key practice is to keep your hot tools at or below 365 degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Word to the wise: Blowdryers count as hot tools too. Still, sometimes blowdrying your hair is the better option\u2014especially if your hair is thin, dry, or prone to breakage. When your hair is wet, it swells\u2014which puts more pressure on the proteins that keep your hair intact. This pressure can result in hair breakage. And the longer it stays wet, the more swelling (and potential breakage) that can occur. \u201cUsing a hairdryer 15 centimeters away from the hair with continuous motion can cause less damage to the cuticle than drying hair naturally.\u201d Of course, you\u2019ll need to apply a heat protectant first and ensure your blowdryer is set at a medium temperature, as high heat can cause damage.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-products-for-preventing-heat-damaged-hair\">The Best Products for Preventing Heat-Damaged Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep your hair healthy and happy, heat damage prevention is the name of the game. Here are four expert-approved products to use.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/olaplex.com\/products\/olaplex-no-7-bonding-oil\">Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil, $28<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis oil contains dimethicone, which provides a protective barrier, and bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which helps to repair the disulfide bonds that get broken down,\u201d Campbell says.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/us.davines.com\/products\/melu-hair-shield\">Davines MELU Hair Shield, $37<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>This product protects all hair types from heat because it contains silicones.
