Here's How to Minimize Hot Tool Damage

We've all been told to keep heat styling to a minimum to avoid damaging our hair. "The heat from hot tools compromises the protective layer of the hair follicle, which can damage strands making them weak and prone to breakage," says celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger. "Hot tools also tend to strip hair of natural oils, which is why overly processed hair can appear dry and fried."

Breaking up with heat styling tools is impossible for many of us. So it's important to focus on mitigating the damage.
