This is important for several reasons. Firstly, it will defend your thin vulnerable hair from the invasive heat that can and will damage it otherwise. Secondly, it will additionally soften the hair and make it more manageable when blow-drying or ironing it, whichever you like. Thirdly, and most importantly, heat protecting serum contains elements which draws humidity from single hair and therefore should prevent curling. Spray it over towel dried hair from 10 inches distance.

3. Dry Downwards
