Blow-drying, straightening, curling - our hair has to withstand a lot of heat in everyday life. But did you know that temperatures above 180°C can permanently damage hair? Heat strips hair of moisture, making it brittle and causing it to break. The consequences are split ends and dull hair. But don't worry, there's a simple solution: heat protection! We'll show you what heat protection is, how it works, and how to apply it correctly. We'll also introduce you to the best K-Beauty products to keep your hair healthy and shiny.

What is heat protection and how does it work?

A heat protection spray is a product that forms a kind of shield around the hair strands. This shield consists of special ingredients that repel heat and lock moisture into the hair. Most heat protection sprays contain:

Silicones or other polymers: These form a thin layer around the hair and distribute heat more evenly.
Nourishing oils: These ingredients provide moisture and make hair smooth.
Proteins: They help strengthen the hair structure and protect it from damage.

Silicones in heat protection: Yes or no?

The question of silicones in hair care products divides opinions. But most heat protection sprays for hair contain silicones or other polymers. A heat protection without silicones is difficult to find, as silicones form a protective layer that distributes heat evenly and thus protects the hair. In moderation, silicones are not harmful to the hair. The silicones in heat protection sprays are designed not to build up in the hair, but to be easily washed out.

Heat protection spray application: The right way to healthy hair

The heat protection spray application is key to its effectiveness. Incorrect application can result in the hair not being properly protected. Here's the correct heat spray application for optimal results:

Prepare your hair: Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Gently squeeze out excess water with a towel. Hair should still be damp.
Spray heat protection: Shake the heat protection spray well before use. Spray the product evenly from a distance of approx. 20-30 cm onto your hair. Make sure that all hair, from the scalp to the tips, is covered.
Comb through: Distribute the product evenly with a wide-toothed comb or your fingers.
Style: Now you can blow-dry your hair as usual or style it with a flat iron or curling iron. When using flat irons or curling irons, make sure the temperature is not too high.
