They help keep your hair looking sleek, smooth, and manageable, but heat comes at a price. Regular heat styling can dry out your hair, break down its structure, and in the long run, cause breakage, dullness, and weakness.

The good news? With a few conscious steps and the right Maruderm hair care products, you can not only prevent heat damage, but also restore your hair's natural shine and elasticity.

How does heat styling damage hair?

The structure of hair is made up of proteins, mainly keratin. When exposed to high heat, these proteins weaken and lose their elasticity. The hair cuticle (outer protective layer) opens up, allowing moisture to escape more easily.

This is why after frequent heat styling, hair:

• feels dry and cracked,

• loses its shine,

• and it breaks much more easily.

So thermoforming is not the enemy, it is just without protection.

What can you do to prevent heat damage?

1. Always use a heat protectant!

Heat protectants create an invisible protective layer on the hair shaft that prevents hot air or irons from sucking out moisture.

Recommended product:

Maruderm Two-Phase Heat and Light Protection Hair Spray (Heat protection spray) – its lightweight formula coats the hair, providing protection up to 220 °C. The combination of keratin and argan oil strengthens and shines the hair.

Tip: Spray on your hair from a distance of 15–20 cm before using a hairdryer or straightener.

2. Replenish moisture and nutrients

Heat reduces the moisture content of the hair, so regenerating hydration is essential.

Recommended product:

Maruderm Pre-Shampoo Hair Mask - Biotin & Keratin Intensive Regenerating Hair Mask – deeply nourishes the hair, helping to restore its softness and elasticity.

Main ingredients:

• Keratin: restores the hair structure.

• Biotin: strengthens hair follicles.

• Argan oil: deeply hydrates and gives a silky shine.

Tip: Use 1-2 times a week. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. You'll notice a difference after the first use!

3. Use gentle shampoo and conditioner

Shampoos that are too harsh, containing sulfates, can further dry out your hair. Choose a product that gently cleanses but doesn't strip your hair of its natural oils.

SLES-free Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Shampoo

Recommended products:

• Maruderm SLES-free Hyaluronic Moisturizing Shampoo – helps preserve hair's natural moisture and reduces breakage.

• Maruderm Hair Regenerating Conditioner – makes hair easy to comb while nourishing and shining it.

Tip: Always use conditioner after shampooing! This seals the hair cuticle and helps retain moisture inside.

4. Have “heat-free days”

You don't need to straighten or curl your hair every day. Give your hair a break. Let its natural texture shine through.

Tip: Try the Maruderm Regenerating Hair Oil – this helps tame the ends and give shape, even without heat.
