How to Restore Heat Damaged Curly Hair

An unfortunate by-product of using stylers on your luscious locks is the heat damage that comes with it. Curly hair, by nature, is more prone to breakage – so it’s even more important to make sure you give your curls extra nourishment in order to keep them looking their best.

So, if you’re keen to embrace your naturally curly hair after years of straightening, we’ve put together a guide on how to revive your curls, as well as the best products for damaged curly hair from the John Frieda Frizz Ease range. 

What causes damaged curly hair?

Your hair uses oils from the scalp to nourish the whole strand and ends of your locks. Curly hair is naturally more prone to breakage as these oils struggle to get past all of the kinks and curls, leaving curls in constant danger of drying out.

If you’re adding heat styling to this inherently dry hair type, you’re even more susceptible to dehydrated hair, and vulnerable to breakage and frizz. That's why it's important to know how to fix heat damaged hair.
