How To Protect Your Hair From Damage During Festive Styling: Essential Tips And Tricks

Before styling your hair, it is essential to prepare your hair for the celebrations to minimise the possibility of damaged hair. Here is how to prepare before styling them for the festive event:

1. Cleanse: Start by thoroughly washing your hair with gentle and nourishing shampoo like TRESemme Smooth & Shine Shampoo. If you are looking for a sulphate-free shampoo for your colour-treated hair, opt for TRESemme Pro Protect Shampoo. However, if you are looking for the best hair products for damaged hair, opt for TRESemme Pro Pure Damage Shampoo.

2. Condition: Rinse the shampoo using lukewarm or tap water. Squeeze out excess water from your strands and apply a generous amount of TRESemme Conditioner on hair, starting from mid-lengths to ends. Leave it for a few minutes and rinse the conditioner with cold water.

3. Protect: For the last step, apply a few drops of TRESemme Gloss Ultimate Serum on your damp hair. This serum offers optimum heat protection of up to 230℃, leaving shiny and nourished hair. You can now style your hair using heating tools or let your hair dry naturally for gorgeous heatless styling games.

After preparing your hair, it's time to style your hair the right way. Here is how you can do it:

1. Hair dryer: Not many people are aware of the fact that blow-drying your hair before exposing them to different heat-styling tools can minimise heat damage as it reduces the times you pass the heating tools over your hair.

2. Iron Wand: If you are looking to add a twist to your straight hair, the iron heating wand can be a fantastic option for you. All you have to do is create small sections of your hair, wrap your hair around the wand, hold it for a few seconds, and release your hair. Ensure to run your hands through your hair to open the curls. This way you will get the desired bounce and twist in your hair.

3. Flat Iron: A flat iron is versatile and can be used to achieve sleek, straight locks or soft waves depending on the technique. With various options available in the market, it is best to opt for a flat iron made of ceramic or tourmaline flat iron, which offers even heat distribution and reduces frizz.

• Avoid tight hairstyles: While hairstyles may give a sleek-polished look, wearing them too often can cause strain to your hair follicles, leading to hair breakage and thinning. Always opt for loose or low buns that help maintain elegance and sophistication.
• Minimise heat exposure: As far as possible, avoid excessively using heat styling tools. Excessive styling can damage your hair beyond repair and affect the overall appearance of your hair. Always heat protection hair products like TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protect Spray before styling your hair.
• Section your hair properly: One of the best styling techniques is to section your hair to achieve flawless waves or straight, sleek hair. Sectioning your hair evens out the distribution of heat even in moderate temperatures.

• Avoid touching your hair: We know it's tempting to constantly adjust or touch your hair during a celebration, but you should refrain from doing it as it can cause frizz and disrupt your hair structure.
• Intense conditioning: Once a week pamper your hair with a deep conditioning mask to enjoy the best hair treatment for dry and damaged hair. Apply a generous amount of TRESemme Pro Pure Damage Recovery Mask on your hair, leave it for a few minutes, and rinse it using cold water.
• Use silk pillowcase: Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent frizz or tangles. Cotton or poor-quality pillow cases can be harsh on your hair and absorb moisture, resulting in unmanageable frizzy hair over time.
