Q: Do you need heat protection when curling human hair?
A: Absolutely — especially if it’s real hair.

Heat styling can damage both natural hair and human-hair extensions by breaking down the cuticle layer and stripping away moisture. A quality heat protectant is essential to reduce this damage.

If you’re styling synthetic hair, avoid high heat — most synthetic fibers can melt or deform. In those cases, lightly misting with water and using a low to medium temperature setting is safest.

Most conventional heat protectants are water-soluble, meaning their protective layer evaporates after the first heat pass, leaving the hair vulnerable to additional damage.

That’s why Sabino Moisture Block is different. It’s a waterproof heat-protection serum that forms a long-lasting barrier around the hair shaft. Heat actually helps drive the product deeper, sealing in internal moisture and protecting your hair — and your extensions — from shampoo to shampoo.

The result is smoother, shinier hair that resists humidity and frizz while staying protected during every styling session.
