You should always apply a leave-in heat protection product to protect your hair from the heat of your hair dryer or straigteners. These will seal your hair with a protective, hydrating layer to stop the hair drying out and breaking due to the intense heat. Here are some of our faves.

Treseme Heat Defence, £3.99, will never leave your hair limp, just really shiny and stong! Ideal for fine hair as it won't weigh hair down.

 


To help tame curly hair before straightening, try Boots Expert Heat Protection Straightening Balm, £2.49.

 


It's also a good idea to spray dry hair with a protection product before using your straighteners. Lee Stafford heat Protection Professional Straightening Mist, £6.99, is ultra fine and perfect for this.
