  • Hair cannot take extreme heat without damage. Heat can harm all types of hair, from the most straight to the tightest of curls. After one too many heat styling sessions, your hair may start to demonstrate the telltale signs of heat damage. With time, the hair may become difficult to manage, and may not hold in shape as well as it used to when styled. Not to mention the risk of experiencing hair loss.
