Heat-damaged Hair? Here’s the Solution

Not too long ago, a client voiced her concern about her blonde hair losing its usual vibrancy faster than expected. In the midst of our conversation, I casually dropped, "It almost looks like it’s burnt." Little did I know, that offhand comment would spark a revelation – indeed, it did seem burnt.

Taking this insight seriously, we  decided she needed to scale back on the heat she was using. Unfortunately, her delicate locks weren't having it. Striking a balance between reduced heat usage and incorporating the right heat protectors turned out to be a game-changer, shielding her color from that undesired yellowy-orange hue.

For those with lightened hair pondering why their blonde might be slightly off, it's worth diving into routines to steer clear of unintentional damage and hair burning. While brassy blonde should still radiate a healthy vibe with just a hint of color deviation, burnt blonde takes on an orange tinge, feels a bit coarse, looks dry, and might even sport a subtle crinkle at the ends.

If you suspect your hair has endured some heat damage, a deep conditioning mask becomes your hair's hero for much-needed care. Personally, my go-to is Hydrate.Me by Kevin Murphy – an intense burst of hydration revitalizing dry, parched hair with its vitamin-charged micro-capsules. I also recommend Heated.Defense by Kevin Murphy.

In addition to the KM recommendations, another product worth mentioning is Goldie Locks Blow Dry Spray 450° Style Extender. This revolutionary heat styling product, with its groundbreaking Technology, offers heat protection up to 450°, frizz control, 48-hour style memory, and reduces blow dry time by 50%. A fantastic option to keep your hair not only protected but also smelling amazing! This product is available at the salon.

So, if your hair color seems a bit off, it might be time to reassess your relationship with heat styling – because unintentionally subjecting your locks to excess heat can be the culprit. Prioritize your hair's health, and let the radiance of your color shine through!
