Hot styling tools can exacerbate dryness and damage, especially during the summer when our hair is already more prone to dehydration. Embrace natural, heat-free hairstyles like braids, buns, or beachy waves. However, if you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to minimize damage.
