A sleek bob, tousled waves, and bouncy curls are all amazing hairstyles you can create with heat styling. However, have you taken the time to consider the damage heat can cause your hair?  If used improperly, flat irons, curling irons, wands, and blow dryers can all cause dullness, dryness, and breakage.

This does not mean you should stop heat styling your hair. Of course, some hairstyles cannot be achieved in any other way. The best solution to avoid damage, besides avoiding heat all together, is to use a heat protectant before styling your hair.
