Repair Heat Damage. Protect What's Left.

Heat tools are the most common cause of hair damage in everyday life. Flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers — used at high heat without protection — fry the cuticle, dehydrate the cortex, and permanently denature the proteins that give hair its strength and elasticity. Heat-damaged hair is recognizable by its rough texture, inability to hold a style, split ends, and that "cooked" feeling that no amount of conditioner seems to fix. Our collection addresses both sides of the problem: repairing existing damage and providing the protection needed to stop it from happening again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can heat damage be reversed?
Partially. Heat permanently denatures some proteins in the hair shaft, which can't be fully "un-done." But bond builders (Olaplex), protein treatments, and regular deep conditioning can dramatically improve the appearance and feel of heat-damaged hair.
What temperature should I set my flat iron?
Fine or damaged hair: max 180°C (356°F). Normal hair: 185–200°C. Thick or coarse hair: up to 230°C. Always use a heat protectant, and never go over 230°C — anything hotter offers no styling benefit and only increases damage.
Do heat protectants actually work?
Yes. Professional heat protectants contain silicones or proteins that form a barrier over the cuticle, reducing direct heat transfer to the strand. They're not magic, but they significantly reduce the damage caused by repeated heat styling.
What should I look for in a heat protectant?
Look for: thermal protection up to 230°C, added moisturizers (panthenol, glycerin), lightweight silicones for cuticle sealing, and ideally some protein content. Avoid ones with alcohol high on the ingredient list — they cause dryness under heat.
