You can use heat protectant spray everyday as long as you're mindful about potential buildup of the heat protectant.
It's best to limit the heat protectant spray and heat styling to a couple of times a week to reduce your risk of damaging your hair.
You should let heat protectant dry for a few minutes or until the heat protectant is completely dry before straightening your hair.
Make sure the hair is not too wet as wet hair with heat protectant can still damage the hair.
You should put heat protectant on roots and apply the heat protectant from your roots to the ends.
It's best to not apply too much heat protectant directly at your scalp as it can weight down the hair and potentially cause buildup.
You want to instead focus on distributing the heat protectant from the mid lengths to our ends and also coat the roots.
If you don't have any heat protectant spray you can instead use some grapeseed oil, almond oil, argan oil or coconut oil as a substitute for heat protectant spray.
However these oils may not provide the same levels of heat protection as heat protectant spray but they are better than no heat protectant and you will often need to reduce the heat settings on your hair styling tools.
Shea butter and leave in condition can also be used if you don't have heat protectant spray.
Ingredients that you should avoid in heat protectant spray are synthetic fragrances, parabens, formaldehyde and alcohol.
Some heat protectants contain alcohol which can be flammable and could ignite if you're not careful.
Formaldehyde can be harmful if you breathe it in and parabens can irritate your skin and affect your hormone balance and could cause hair loss.
Fragrances can lead to drying out hair and synthetic aromas could include chemicals that can damage your hair.
Sulfates should also be avoided if possible in heat protectant spray as they can strip your hair of moisture and natural color.
Other ingredients in heat protectant spray to avoid are Triclosan, Phthalates and Polyethylene glycol.
The heat protectant spray that is the best is EVA NYC mane magic 10 in one primer.
It's a great heat protectant and also provides UV protection as well and has a good smell to it that I like.
TresEmme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine spray is also a good heat protectant spray.
