As a seasoned hairstylist, I've helped countless clients maintain shiny, healthy locks. One habit that undermines your hair's vitality? Styling it while still wet.
How to tell if your hair is too wet:
Hear a sizzling sound or see steam rising from your strands during styling? That's a clear warning sign of trouble.
The issue:
Water boils at 100 degrees, yet most straighteners exceed that temperature. The hiss you hear is water bubbling and expanding within your hair shaft, leading to potential damage.
The fix: Style your hair when fully dry, paired with a quality heat protectant product. Pressed for time? Choose a straightener engineered specifically for wet hair.
