Tools That Bring The Heat 🔥 But Not The Damage 💇🏾‍♀️

I use the selection of heat styling tools every single week and I have not experienced heat damage. I attribute this to the use of heat protectant, but most importantly the hot tools I choose to use in my hair as I tend to put some form of heat on my...
