Error? Let’s do it all! Hairstyling error? Guilty! We tell you here, which number 1 error we should, according to experts, however, should immediately …

Our hair should always be perfect, not greasy and, on top of that, have a super fancy color. That we can not have it all – without harming our hair – is somehow logical, right ?! However, there is a mistake that almost everyone makes and that drives every stylist to the chill. We’ll tell you which one that is.

Styling error # 1 – heat protection

Everyone knows that heat protection before styling with straighteners, curling iron and Co. is a must. Luckily! But what many ignore: “People forget to apply the heat protection on the second day of hair styling,” explains stylist James Earnshaw in an interview with Who What Wear . And if we are now all honest, so honest, then he is right. Who does that?

In our face, of course, we wear sunscreen every day anew – so why do not we do it on our hair? Even if it is just a quick after-smoothing, we should not give it up.

“You should be careful to distribute the heat protection evenly from the roots to the tips throughout the hair.”

Incidentally, this does not only apply to the second day, but also to the first day. That goes without saying, right? You should make sure that you choose a product that can be used in both wet and dry hair. Right after washing your hair, the heat protection belongs to towel-dried hair, on the second day, of course, no longer. Also: Make sure that the heat protection protects the hair even at high temperatures. A product that withstands only up to 180 degrees is usually not enough. Better, you choose one that promises protection at up to 230 degrees. Safety first!

And there’s something else: If you’re styling your hair with hairspray and Co., you should wash your hair again before styling it with heat again. Because: Most hair products are not designed for heat styling. So you only damage your hair more. Even if washing is sometimes annoying, in the end it is definitely worth it.
