We almost all do it: straighten, blow-dry, curl. Heat styling has become indispensable, but the impact on your hair is greater than you think. Temperatures of 180°C to 230°C literally break down the keratin bonds in your hair, leaving it dry and brittle.
The real protection starts with what you apply before and after styling. And that's where pharmacy products come in.
What heat does to your hair
Your hair is approximately 90% keratin. Heat above 150°C denatures these proteins irreversibly, leading to split ends, breakage, and dullness.
