'It makes hair incredibly dry!' Women warned of a regular styling trick that cause split ends and breakages

Heated styling tools like straighteners and curlers can be used to achieve beachy waves, sleek locks or bouncy curls.

However, too much heat on your hair will cause its condition to deteriorate, according to experts at high-quality extensions specialists Roxy Hair.

They recommended combatting this by embracing your natural hair texture or opting for heatless styling methods.

They warned: "Using heat appliances regularly on your hair can result in a high amount of breakage, including split ends and a loss of natural moisture, making hair look damaged and exceptionally dry.

"Because of this, it’s incredibly beneficial to wear your hair naturally.

"Letting your hair air dry naturally occasionally is a fantastic way to let your hair breathe, reducing the risk of dandruff and damage. The less you use heated appliances, the healthier your hair will look."

Alternative styling methods, such as heatless curl headbands or plaits, can be a good alternative to achieve a subtle wave or recreate the look of a bouncy blowdry.

For those who still want to use their trusty styling tools to create looks, make sure to use a good heat protector.

The experts continued: "If you use heated styling tools regularly, it’s essential to always ensure that you wear heat protection.

"Alternatively, why not try out some heatless styling tools, such as the viral heatless curls headband?"

Styling can dry out your hair but the experts shared more advice for hydrating your locks.
