NeverHeatStyleWithoutOne

I never used heat protection before I dried or styled my locks.

After reading numerous reviews on heat protection products, it seems that this product is extremely important when styling your hair.

One of my favorite sites, Folica.com, has many protection sprays to choose from, including my favorite, the CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray.

Chelle Morrison, Owner Urban Betty Salon (Voted Best Salon) in Austin Texas said, "Protectants help create a barrier between your hair and the flat iron to guard the cuticle from straight heat." 

Hair protectants come in a variety of forms including sprays, serums, creams, lotions and gels for different protection needs. When choosing the protectant for you, look a formula that smoothes frizz, adds shine, infuses strands with healthy ingredients and acts as a buffer against damage. If you have straight or fine hair, stick with sprays, mists or lightweight lotions. For longer, thick or curly locks, try richer nourishing serums or creams.

Protection Needs	Reasons to Use	Helpful Ingredients
Heat, thermal styling	Heat protectants form a buffer between your locks and styling tools to add shine and prevent frying your hair at high temps	Silk, natural oils, wheat protein
Color, chemical processing	Balance your scalp, prevent color fade out and condition exposed strands	Sunflower seed extract, sunscreens
Sun, UV	Protect your strands and scalp from the sun with sunscreen enhanced protectants that filter UVA/UVB rays	Mineral oil, soy protein, vitamin E, sunscreens

Style may save some things, but it sure doesn't save crazy bed head! 

I posted this shot in beauty because it doesn't show a complete outfit. 

I woke up yesterday morning and was checking e-mails and relaxing in bed before I got ready for work when I clicked on PhotoBooth instead of Safari. I snapped this photo and kind of liked. Although it's not the most beautiful of photos, it's something different from the usual smile and pose photos. I enjoy trying different make-up, hairstyles and outfits, but sometimes you don't need any of that to take a cool picture.

I stumbled across this photo from one of my first shoots this past winter. 

I just love this coat and lighting. 

Want to see the rest of the photos from the shoot??

Go back to the beginning and check out my second post! :)

Stay Beautiful.
