Using the cult favourite Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil as an example, the pro explained that although the expensive £26.00 product does have a heat protectant in it, ''the oil part of it mixed with heat is not great''.
''So the product is literally working against itself.
''Literally fries your hair in oil like fried food,'' she said.
Those with oily scalp or wishing to give your hair a break from washing it every morning know what a godsend dry shampoo is.

But just as careful, it turns out, you also have to be with washing your hair.
In the video, Kate said that shampooing the very ends of your locks will dry out the hair ''so bad''.

The viral clip left many divided, with some believing Kate's tips were inaccurate.
''Girl did you just make these up on the spot,'' a critic was wondering.
Someone else agreed, adding: ''Using dry shampoo absolutely will NOT cause “severe hair loss”.''
However, there were also plenty of those TikTok users who took her side, with a fellow professional saying: ''I’ve been doing hair for 17 years and these are all absolutely true.''
