is there something i can use on my hair before blow drying it that will protect it from drying & straightening

Answer 1

I am a hairstylist, and I always advise my clients to use a Leave In conditioner (even after you shampoo and condition) before blow drying. This protects the hair from heat damage. For colored hair, I like Aveda Leave In Foaming Conditioner. For non colored hair, I usually use Bumble and Bumble Tonic or Prep Spray. Before you straighten, it is also important. I use Bumble and Bumble Does it All Styling Spray. I use this section by section, as I go through with the straightener. It is very important to use these styling products, as without them, hair is dried literally by boiling it inside out. When you use the products, they are fortified with proteins and vitamins. This protects and infuses the hair. Heat Styling is never healthy, but these make everyday styling okay for your hair. Also important is your blowdryer. Are you using an ionic? If not.... it is so bad for your hair. Technology has created the ionic dryer that dries the hair by decharging ions, and hence displacing water molecules. This prevents you too from "boiling" your hair dry, as you do with a regular hot air dryer. I hope this helps.

Bed head makes this great product called fashionista. But if you want something that is going to have a hold then use big sexy hair blow dry volumizing gel. Both products work great.
