The secret to a great heat style? It starts before you pick up your tools.

A little prep can make hair easier to work with and help you feel more in control of your finish. From your first wash to the  final cool-down, here are a few simple ways to get your hair ready.

Start with the care your hair needs

Start by thinking about how your hair feels today. Is it dry or coarse and asking for moisture? Or
does it feel limp and need a little more body? Match your wash and care routine to what your hair
needs, and styling can feel more straightforward from the start.

Fabriq Hydrate is designed for dry, damaged or coarse hair, while Build is made for hair that feels
limp or lacks body. Think of it as choosing the right starting point for your style.

Prep, Protect and Style

Blow-drying? Damp hair is the perfect moment to add a little extra care, especially if your lengths
tend to feel dry, fluffy or tricky to manage. Work a small amount of Ultimate Oil through damp hair
to hydrate, repair and add shine without weighing it down; its blend of seven oils includes coconut,
argan, sunflower and macadamia, and it offers up to 45% heat damage reduction while styling.

Then think about the finish you’re after: for strength, body and hold, apply Boost spray gel to towel-
dried hair and let its heat-activated proteins work as you style. Prefer a softer, lighter feel? Quench
detangles and hydrates while providing heat protection.

Make heat protection a must

Before the straighteners or curling wand come out, reach for heat protection. It’s one of the
simplest habits to build into your routine, and it means your hair is prepped before the heat goes
on.

Shield is a lightweight spray that creates an invisible barrier and protects hair up to 230°C. It also
helps with frizz, shine and colour protection. Mist lightly over dry hair just before using irons or
other heated tools.

Style with a lighter touch

Take it section by section; it's usually better to work slowly in larger sections and use the heat
setting you need for your style. Try not to go over the same piece again and again. When you’re
done, give your hair a moment to cool and let the finish settle. Then add a touch of Ultimate Oil to
achieve that ultimate finish.

Make your next heat-style a good hair day

Great hair days don’t come from doing the most. They come from knowing what your hair needs
and giving it the right support, so your style feels like you. Keep it simple, make it yours, and enjoy
the process.
