Is treatment required when using hair iron? What is the timing for hair care?

Hair iron is a must-have item for enjoying various styling. It can be used to straighten and curl hair freely, and many people love using it on regular basis. However, hair damage is one common concern when using iron. You may be wondering if you should use hair treatment for hair care as much as possible, and if yes, which timing is the best to use it.

Damage caused by high-temperature iron

Depending on the product, hair iron can heat up to about 100℃ to 200℃ or even higher. If we apply such high temperature to our hair regularly, there is high possibility that hair will be damaged. It may cause dryness and hair breakage, so we need to be careful when using it.

Hair care before and after usage

To protect our hair, let’s consider using treatment agent that includes hair care effect. As for the timing, we’d recommend using it before and after hair iron. By using it before hair iron, we can protect our hair from the heat, and by using it afterward, we can repair the damage caused by the heat.
