This year, the Revlon One-Step was the most popular beauty tool and one of the best Christmas gifts. The Revlon One-Step is a game changer… but I probably don’t have to convince you of that. However, it is important to remember your hair health. Despite the fact that the Revlon One-Step significantly reduces heat damage, heat protectant isn’t something you should skip. Here are some of our favorite *cheap* options:
Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist ($14)
This heat protectant mist from Drybar protects from hot hair tools by coating hair in a lightweight oil while it strengthens hair with rice protein. This spray even protects from UVA and UVB rays that can result in hair dryness and color fading!
Drybar Jump Start Quick Dry Blowout Serum ($20)
This serum from Drybar is different from their mist; both protect your hair from up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, but this serum is also proven to reduce drying time. It’s silicone-free and has a blend of fruit extracts to retain moisture and offer smooth, healthy looking hair.
Aveda Brilliant Damage Control ($23)
We’re big advocates for Aveda products and there’s a reason: they really work. This damage control spray protects against styling heat and UV rays, but it also protects your hair from breaking off in detangling or combing. With hundreds of 5-star reviews, you know you won’t regret this purchase.
Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair ($10)
This Aveda treatment is heavier than their spray. This cream is made to be used daily as a leave-in treatment to reduce breakage by 90%. Made with oils and proteins to give you stronger and longer hair, Daily Hair Repair uses those same ingredients to protect from heat damage. It’s a serious win.
Taking care of your hair needs to be a priority, regardless of the styling tools you may use. Make sure to protect from heat and UV damage to retain moisture to give you Insta-worthy locks that everyone will envy. Let 2021 be the year for your hair!
