Heat protectant serum for color treated damaged hair

Heat protectant serum for color treated damaged hair

Colored hair needs extra heat protection. Heat damages hair faster. Damaged hair breaks easily. Heat also fades hair color quickly. A good serum shields your hair from heat, UV rays, and dryness.

Why Heat Harms Colored and Damaged Hair

Heat Defense Dose Set – The Hair Lab by Strands

  1. Heat opens the hair cuticle, releasing color molecules and fading color faster.
  2. Damaged hair has weak bonds that heat breaks further, causing hair to snap off.
  3. Moisture escapes easily under heat, leaving hair rough and dull.

What to Look for in a Hair Serum

  • Heat protection claim - Must say "heat protectant" (e.g., "protects up to 450°F").
  • Hydrating ingredients - Glycerin, panthenol (vitamin B5), hyaluronic acid.
  • Repairing agents - Keratin, amino acids, proteins (fixes split ends).
  • UV filters - Blocks sun damage (prevents color fading).
  • Lightweight formula - Avoid heavy silicones (weighs hair down).

FAQs - Heat Protectant Serums

1. Why do I need a special serum for color-treated hair?

Normal serums don't protect enough. Heat fades color fast and breaks damaged hair. A heat protectant serum shields and repairs both.

2. What ingredients repair heat damage?

  • Keratin (fills cracks)
  • Proteins and amino acids (strengthen hair)
  • Glycerin (locks moisture)

3. Does serum prevent color fading?

Yes. It seals the cuticle, locking color in, and blocks UV rays.

4. How often should I use it?

Every time you use heat tools - even on non-wash days.

5. Where should I apply the serum?

Mid-lengths to ends only. Avoid roots (causes greasiness).

6. Best hair serum in Pakistan for frizzy hair?

Look for keratin-based serums (smooths frizz) or argan oil serums (adds shine).

7. Is Nizwa Hair Serum good for hair growth?

While it strengthens hair for growth, try a hair growth serum with biotin or caffeine.

8. Will serum make fine hair flat?

No - if you use a lightweight formula and avoid roots.

Conclusion

To protect colored hair from heat damage in Pakistan, always use a heat protectant serum. Quality serums like Nizwa Hair Serum 900 prevent color fading, reduce breakage, and add shine.
