No surprise here, heat causes damage. Blow drying causes a “flash drying” effect that not only removes the surface moisture but also removes water that is bound to the hair, which is called water of hydration. The effect of this flash drying is that the cuticles become dry, rigid and brittle.

Repair
1) Moisturize your hair with humectants. Humectants possess a chemical structure that attracts water from the atmosphere so this means most humectants can attract and hold moisture within your hair as well as containing protein and botanicals
Applying leave-in conditioners can also assist in retaining additional moisture for your strands to absorb.
2) Deep condition treatments. To achieve the most effective results from your deep conditioner wrap your hair with a hot towel and let sit for 10-20 minutes.
3) Try to leave your hair slightly damp more frequently by spritzing water on your strands. One of the main results of heat damage is excessive drying so your hair desperately needs as much moisture as possible to regenerate back to health. The longer your strands are wet the more your hair shaft can absorb moisture which will reach the cortex of your strands.
4) Purchase conditioners that have high moisture retaining abilities which can restore moisture so search for ingredients such as mineral oils, silicones, amino acid and or panthenol.
5) Hot oil treatments that can be left in overnight then wash hair in the morning with an all -natural shampoo or your favorite conditioner
Your hair is made of proteins so digest foods rich in proteins such as fruits & vegetables, chicken, fish and nuts, etc
Cutting the hair that has been damaged. Depending on the severity of the hair sometimes the heat damage can be irreversible.
6) Wearing hair in updo loose styles if you have experienced heat damage can protect your ends from the elements for example the sun and wind and prevent further damage. Notice I did say loose updo styles. Too much tension from tight braids or styles can cause further breakage since your strands are presently in a weak state.
Prevent
1) Air-dry your strands. I know this will take longer maybe additional hours to your drying routine but if your hair is experiencing heat damage you want to diminish any amount of heat you use on your strands
2) Diminish the use of heat or really cut back on heat at least once a month or less if you have experienced heat damage also the settings of all your heat tools should be as low as possible if you cannot wean yourself away from heat tools and appliances. Make sure to use a thermal protector on your hair as well but I would strongly suggest to sustain from any heat while you are nursing your strands back to health.

If you want to use a dark eyeshadow apply it before the rest of your makeup, as you can then wipe away any fallout!
