A word on heat.

I have mentioned a million times that using a heat protectant is VITAL to the safety of your hair. No matter how hot your tools, you should be using one. About how hot your tools are...

There is really no need for everyone to be using the maximum heat setting on all their styling tools every day. Before you crank up the heat, stop to think! If you have thin, fine, soft hair, you do NOT need extreme heat. Maybe for a special occasion or every now and then, but daily? No way. If you have thick, coarse, stubborn hair you might want to use a higher heat on a more regular basis. Just keep it protected! 

High heat is really nice. It helps you go faster and helps things stay longer. But I often see these little soft haired people over frying their hair. It just isn't necessary. Consider lowering the heat. It will save you from damage and becoming a straw head. 

So what am I really getting at? Consider getting tools that have heat settings. That way you can change the temperature to what is really best for your hair, but you have the option to crank it up every now and then. When it comes to the temp of your tools, one size doesn't necessarily fit all.
