Heat Protectant for Natural Hair: Why It Matters

Key Takeaways Heat protectant for natural hair matters because textured hair can become dry, weak or less defined when exposed to frequent or excessive heat.

Sprays, creams, serums and heat-protecting leave-ins can all work, depending on your hair density, porosity and styling goal. Using the lowest effective heat setting…
