Aussie Rapunzel reveals why you should always use heat protector spray

A model has used a single piece of bread to demonstrate the importance of using heat protector spray when straightening your hair.

The 23-year-old from Sydney, who goes by the name ‘The Aussie Rapunzel’ online, shared a now-viral TikTok video with her 774,000 followers and sprayed one side of a piece of sliced white bread with heat protector.

The unbelievable results show the ‘treated’ side of the bread wasn’t impacted when toasted compared to the opposite side that was badly burnt.

‘Bread is not hair but it’s a good visual representation of why you should always use heat protectant,’ she captioned the short clip.

Heat protector is designed to protect the hair follicles from becoming damaged when using hair tools such as hair straighteners, curling irons and hair dryers. 

‘This is why you should always use heat protectant on your hair,’ she said in the video.

‘After toasting it, you can clearly see which side I sprayed. Although there’s a bit of burning, it is nowhere near as bad as the other half.’ 

Hair that isn’t properly protected from direct heat can quickly become damaged, leading to split ends.  

The Aussie Rapunzel is known for her gorgeous one-metre blonde locks and sharing her hair secrets.

The clip swiftly caught the attention of thousands and has been viewed more than half a million times.

‘Thank you so much for the visual!’ one person wrote, another added: ‘OK I should start using heat protection.’

‘Wow I didn’t think it actually worked,’ another admitted.

Earlier this year the Aussie Rapunzel shared her top hair secrets for luscious locks – starting with her night-time hair routine.

She starts by using a de-tangling hairbrush to get rid of any knots in her hair.

Following this, she said she applies some Argan oil to the tips of her hair, as it helps to de-tangle and makes it easier to brush her long locks.

The Aussie Rapunzel favours Argan oil by O&M ($37.95), which promises to ‘minimise frizzy fly-aways and smooth down hair for a sleek, polished look’.

She explained she always puts her hair in a plait before going to bed, as this helps to keep it contained throughout the night.

She also sleeps on silk pillowcases, which are known to help with hair breakage and assist in keeping your hair soft and shiny.
