Hot Temps = color fade

Did you know that using styling tools at temps higher than 385° will break down artificial pigment molecules in your hair strand?  You could be fading that gorgeous color you spent good money paying for!

Most people have a "hotter is better" mentality when it comes to iron work.  I've even seen irons that you can set at 500°!!!  The truth is, there's not a person on the planet who has hair that requires that high of heat.  No, not even Asian hair or Ethnic hair.  425° is the MAX anyone needs, with most Caucasian hair being more in the 350° range.

If you're sitting there thinking, "No, my hair needs hotter" what you should probably be doing is taking smaller sections.  If the section you're feeding into your iron is so thick that you can't see through it, the heat isn't going to be able to reach the center of that section.  Take smaller sections, turn your irons down, and your hair will thank you!
