T’is the season for party hair ‘dos.
December always seems to be a busy month. We’re suddenly reminded of that friend you forgot to text back in October, so Christmas feels like the perfect time to redeem yourself. Or perhaps you cancelled on that double date one too many times and Christmas drinks is a good compromise. Maybe, you just have so many friends to catch up with before the new year (isn’t adult life hard?), but it’s impossible to find a date that you can all make and so separate events are necessary.
Woah, that sounds like a whole lot of partying, a whole lot of different outfits and a WHOLE load of party hairstyles.
Unless you’re one of those people who leave their natural locks to roam free on a night out (if you are, we’re eternally jealous), then the chances are that you’re going to be using a lot of heat on your hair this Christmas. Frantically blow-drying after a last minute decision to wash your hair before the party; curling your hair, hating it and so going over it with the straighteners (we’ve all done it); even if you get it right the first time with the straighteners, you’re still using heat on your hair.
Apart from just not using all of these heated tools, there are very few ways to avoid hurting your hair. However, one super easy way to prevent extensive damage, is to use a heat protector before you use heat.
Heat protectants act as a barrier between your strands of hair and the heat. They add moisture to your hair, as well as sometimes being able to trap moisture in, enhancing the moisturising effects on your hair. Lots of these products are full of oils and other beneficial healthy ingredients, which will add to the protecting qualities of these protectors.
Here are a few of our favourite heat protecting sprays and creams to help your hair through the party season.
