The Ultimate Heat Temperature Guide for Beauty Works Tools

How hot is too hot? When it comes to using heat styling tools, knowing the right temperature for your hair type is crucial and that’s why were here to give our expert advice. At Beauty Works, we understand the importance of using the correct temperature settings to maintain healthy hair integrity while getting salon-worthy results. Here's your go-to guide for using our top Beauty Works tools, including our most recent drop the XXL Volume Hot Brush, the Molly-Mae Curl Kit and the innovative AERIS Multi-Styler®.

Why Temperature Matters

Using the correct heat setting can make a huge difference in not only the result of your style but also in the long-term health of your hair. Excessive heat can cause heat damage, leading to split ends and breakage, while too little heat might leave your hair under-styled and frizzy. That’s why it's essential to adjust the temperature based on your hair type and the specific tool you're using.

Temperature Recommendations for Beauty Works Tools

Before diving into the temperature recommendations, let’s briefly touch on different hair types:

Fine/Thin Hair: This hair type is delicate and can easily become damaged. It requires lower temperatures to avoid breakage.

Medium/Normal Hair: More resilient than fine hair, but still requires caution to prevent damage.

Thick/Coarse Hair: This hair type can withstand higher temperatures, but you still need to be mindful to avoid excessive heat that can dry out the hair.

Curly/Textured Hair: Naturally drier and more fragile, it needs a balance of enough heat to style but not so much that it damages the curl pattern.

Heat Protection is Key

No matter your hair type or the tool you're using, always apply a heat protection spray before styling. This acts as a barrier, shielding your hair from direct heat and reducing the risk of damage. We recommend the Beauty Works Heat Protection Spray and Beauty Works 10 in 1 Miracle Spray to keep your hair safe and shiny.
