Mistake No. 3: Not using a heat protectant While hairstylists swear by heat protectants, they often find that their clients neglect to use them. "It's very important to have a layer of protection on your hair so that, if it gets too hot, it's the product burning off, not your hair," says Stephanie Brown, Master Hair Colorist at Nunzio Saviano Salon in Manhattan. Heat protectants are also typically formulated with nourishing ingredients that leave strands softer and more smooth. A few of her favorites include Color Wow Speed Dry Blow Dry Spray, $24, GHD Heat Protect Spray, $22, and Amika Blockade Heat Defense Serum, $25. "If you are restyling you can use heat protectant products that'll help restyle, like Kristin Ess's The One Signature Hair Water, $10," she adds.
