heat styling

Hot tool coiffure

Heat styling is the use of heated tools—flat irons, curling irons, blow dryers—to shape hair.

The heat temporarily breaks and reforms the hydrogen bonds in hair, allowing it to hold new shapes until it gets wet again.

Frequent heat styling can damage hair, so stylists recommend heat protectant products: I always use a spray before heat styling.
