Heat treatment, also known as thermal treatment, refers to the process of applying controlled heat to hair to alter its structure, texture, or appearance.

For professionals, understanding the precise temperature and duration is crucial to avoid damaging the hair's keratin structure, which can lead to breakage or increased porosity.
