Hair restoration
After repeated use of the iron, even with the application of heat protection products, the hair may become weaker and lose its original appearance.Therefore, you should adhere to some rules of care.
After using the iron, it is recommended to switch to a special moisturizing type of shampoo. These include products with various extracts (avocado, jojoba, grapes). And also worth using balm with arginine. After all, such an amino acid can strengthen the strands and soften them.

Recommendations
Remember that you should not curl your hair with a curling iron more often than 2 times a week. And also do not forget to thoroughly dry all the strands before carrying out the procedure. After all, this styling can only be done on dry hair.
Do not immediately decorate the finished hairstyle with massive accessories, as they can damage the shape of the styling. Try to avoid the scorching rays of the sun, as they can leave the strands vulnerable and thin after styling. Strands cannot be kept between the plates of the curling iron for a long time. Otherwise, they can be burned even with thermal protection.
