Heat styling can work wonders for your look—sleek straight strands, glamorous curls, or a voluminous blowout. But without the right prep, it can leave your hair dry, brittle, and damaged. The secret to keeping your locks strong and shiny? Prepping your hair properly before heat styling.

At Unwritten Hair, we’ve got just the product you need: Hey Genie! Define & Shine Styler. Packed with thermal protection and definition, this lightweight cream is your ultimate partner for safe, healthy, heat-styled hair.

Here’s how to prep your hair like a professional stylist:

Step 1: Start with Clean Hair

Always begin with freshly washed hair. Oils, dirt, and product buildup can cause even more damage when exposed to heat. Use a clarifying shampoo to deeply cleanse and leave your hair fresh and ready for styling.

Step 2: Apply Hey Genie! Define & Shine Styler

Towel-dry your hair and apply a small amount of Hey Genie evenly through damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This multitasking cream provides:

• Thermal protection against hot tools
• Hold and definition for your style
• Lightweight nourishment that won’t weigh hair down

Step 3: Comb Through for Even Coverage

Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute Hey Genie evenly. This ensures every strand is coated and protected from root to tip.

Step 4: Blow-Dry to Prep

Blow-dry until your hair is completely dry. This not only helps the product absorb but also adds volume and smoothness. For best results, use a round brush for lift and polish.

Step 5: Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into small sections with clips. This makes heat styling easier, more precise, and ensures you don’t miss any spots.

Step 6: Choose the Right Heat Setting

Match the temperature to your hair type:

• Fine or fragile hair → low to medium heat
• Thick or coarse hair → medium to high heat

Using the correct setting prevents unnecessary damage while still delivering your desired style.

Step 7: Double Up on Protection

For extra defense, layer a heat protectant spray on top of Hey Genie before styling with flat irons or curling wands. This creates a double shield against damage.

Step 8: Lock It In

Once you’ve styled your hair, finish with a lightweight hairspray. This keeps your look in place without stiffness, giving you long-lasting hold and a natural feel.

Final Thoughts: Protect, Style, Shine ✨

Heat styling doesn’t have to come at the cost of healthy hair. By prepping your hair correctly and using the right products like Hey Genie! Define & Shine Styler, you can enjoy smooth, shiny, and protected strands every time you style.

Say goodbye to heat damage and hello to hair that’s strong, defined, and ready to shine.
