“Any type of hair manipulation, from heated styling and brushing to processing and UV exposure, can impact the health of strands and therefore the way they behave and feel. Damaged and dry hair is always more difficult to manage, and won’t hold a style as easily.

“Colour and chemical processing oxidise strands, weakening its protein structure and decreasing strength. These processes also lift the outer hair cuticle (hair’s protective layer), which can leave strands rough in texture and lacking shine. Heated styling tools can scorch strands and dry them out. Using a harsh hairbrush, or brushing very roughly, can remove parts of the hair cuticle and cause breakage, too.”

If you regularly use heat on your hair, Kingsley recommends adding products that help strengthen and moisturise hair into your routine, such as the Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer and Bond Builder restructuring pre-shampoo treatments.
