How 2020 Changed Hair Care For Good
The pandemic changed virtually every aspect of daily life, so it’s no surprise its effects trickled into hair care, too. A rollercoaster of emotions—fear, uncertainty, boredom— and lockdown restrictions increased the need for self-care, and in particular, self-hair care. With salons closed, people were left to fend for themselves, whether it be tending to their roots or taking shears to their split ends (we see you, Taylor Swift!). Most importantly, 2020 forced us to re-evaluate the relationship between our products, our bodies, and our planet.
How to Protect Your Hair from Heat
It's important to protect your hair from excessive heat damage. Heat damage is caused by using hot tools such as blow dryers, curling irons, and flatirons. Giving your hair a break and letting it air dry instead of using hot tools daily is a great way to retain moisture, avoid brittle ends, and hair-color fade. Try a fun braid or messy bun instead of blow drying. Remember to use tools on the lowest heat setting possible to avoid damaging your hair. Products are an important tool to protect your hair from heat damage. Give yourself a deep conditioning treatment by leaving Plaine Products Citrus Lavender Conditioner in your hair for 10 minutes before rinsing. Spritz ends with Plaine Products Hair Repair before blow drying to detangle, seal in moisture and repair split ends. Plaine Products Beauty Oil can be used on damp or dry hair. Run it through damp curls to define and tame frizz or dab a bit on dry hair to tame fly-aways and avoid static.
