How can the incorrect application of heat affect the hair and scalp?

Hairs are made up of proteins. Proteins get denatured when exposed to heat. If heat is used incorrectly, it can severely damage hair. Similarly, scalp has skin which contains proteins too which can get damaged because of heat. Of course! If you use heat tools on your hair to often it will dry your hair out and you will have split ends and cause breakage of the hair. if you burn your scalp badly enough it will damage your hair follicles and stop hair growth.
