I would recommend these two products in helping you regain moisture that has been lost through heat damage, these olive oil products are especially good at making hair more manageable and less prone to breakage. Olive oil is widely used in moisturizing products as it is great for damaged or knotty hair. Olive oil is full of mono unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants that moisturize and nourish scalp skin and hair. Great for hair growth and advanced protection from dryness.

You should make sure that you hair is no longer wet before you start drying, towel dry your hair with either a cotton towel or t-shirt so that you hair is damp. It is best to blow dry damp hair, if you try to blow dry wet hair the hairdryer can cause a boiling effect and you will find your hair is actually being burnt.

Always use heat protection spray. Due to the extreme heats we use on our hair, usually for a prolonged period of time, we really do suffer with dry hair and split ends. Always use a heat protection spray or serum when drying and styling your hair, put on when wet before drying and re-apply when dry before straightening or curling. Heat protection products coat the hair which creates a barrier between your hair and the heat, allowing your hair to be styled with minimal damage.
