3 Reasons to Use Heat Protectant for Healthier, Happier Hair

7/11/2023

Using Heat Protectant is essential when using hot tools on your hair - but why?

Heat protectant products help to reduce the amount of damage that your hair sustains when exposed to high temperatures. They work by forming a protective barrier around the hair shaft, which helps to prevent moisture loss and breakage. Still not convinced? Here are some of the main benefits of heat protectant:

1) Avoid Split Ends & Breakage

One of the main benefits of using heat protectant is that it can help prevent split ends and breakage. When using hot styling tools on your hair, the high temperatures can cause the hair shaft to become dry and brittle. By using a heat protectant product, you are actively promoting healthy and strong hair!

2) Reduce Frizz & Flyaways

When you use hot tools on your hair, the high temperatures can cause the hair cuticle to become rough and uneven leading to frizz and flyaways. Using a heat protectant can help to smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz, leaving your hair smooth and shiny!

3) Extend the Life of Your Hairstyle

The use of hot tools without heat protectant can cause your hairstyle to fall flat more quickly. Using a heat protectant will help to keep your hairstyle looking fresh and bouncy for longer!

Heat protectant products are an important step in protecting your hair from damage caused by hot tools. Say goodbye to split ends, breakage, frizz, flyaways, and flat hairstyles with some of our favourite heat protectants:

Top 5 Things You Learn Working at a Salon

We asked Ailesh, SASO Social Media & Special Projects Manager, for the top 5 things she has learned while working at a hair salon - this is what she had to say:

#1. We need to stop using drug store products…

Like now… men too… they are evil moisture stripping, scalp and hair drying, colour damaging scams that ruin our hair. Yes the price is enticing but no that doesn’t mean we should be using it.

#2. HEAT PROTECTANT IS LIFE!

Not only does it protect your hair (important), it also helps to extend the life of your heat styling and cuts back on the frizz and flyaways!

#3. Double shampoo every time you wash your hair.

Weird I know, but it makes a difference in cleansing, softness, and shine!

Now I know I just said double shampoo every time you wash - however you should not be washing your hair every day (secret tip in a tip). “But Ailesh I NEED to wash my hair every day!” - AHA introducing tip:

#4. Co-washing!

To put it simply, co-washing is the act of washing your hair with just conditioner, so that you aren't stripping your hair and scalp of its natural oils. Many shampoos (cough cough tip #1) are formulated with sulphates- detergents that clean hair thoroughly, which strip the natural oils from the hair strands and leave them prone to breakage. By skipping shampoo in your co-washing regime your hair will stop overproducing oil and balance out it's oil production over time!

#5. Get your coworkers to wash your hair when you’re too tired or lazy to do it…

Sorry this a SASO employee only type of perk! HOWEVER, clients can join our club with a SASO Blowout Membership - you get the hair wash, head massage, plus a blowout + style that lasts for days and days (and days and days with some dry shampoo action)!

And there you have it - five insider tips you learn working at a hair salon!
