Hair heat protection: blow drying and curling without damage
Don't give frizz or hair breakage a chance! Heat protection in the form of sprays and creams wraps your hair in a soft film that protects it against damage and dehydration caused by high temperatures. The best heat protection for your hair will make straightening, curling and drying your hair worry-free.
Why is heat protection necessary for hair?
Regular heat styling of your hair damages the hair structure and causes peeling of the outer protective layer from the hair’s surface. It dries the hair from the inside and damages the keratin proteins that give your hair its strength and elasticity. Our locks quickly start to lose their shine and strength and end up prone to frizz, split ends and breakage. Effective hair protection for blow-drying and hair protection for straightening should always be part of your kit.
How do heat protection creams and sprays work?
Heat protection contains substances that wrap around the individual hairs like a heat shield to prevent them from losing their natural properties due to high temperatures. In addition to the protective substances, they usually contain nourishing and regenerating ingredients such as proteins and amino acids. These take care of the hair and make it easier to style and detangle.

How to style your hair gently
- Before blow-drying your hair, gently squeeze the water out of it with a towel and let it air-dry for at least ten minutes.
- Apply heat protection evenly along the entire length of the hair, massaging it in carefully, especially into the ends, which are the most susceptible to damage.
- If you decide to curl or straighten your hair after blow-drying, reapply the heat protection cream or spray.
- Always iron and curl only perfectly dry and clean hair without any residue of hairspray or mousse, otherwise it could lead to permanent damage.
- Style your hair at a maximum temperature of 180°C.
- Treat your hair to regular nourishment with high-quality hair masks, nourishing hair oils and regenerating hair serums.
- Keep in mind that heat protection products only reduce hair damage – no product can prevent it completely. If you want to keep your hair as healthy as possible, limit heat styling of your hair as much as you can.
