WHY IS MY HAIR FULL OF STATIC?

Lack of moisture is a real problem in the winter months. Not only do we get chapped lips, but also dry hair, skin, and nails.

Static electricity is caused when 2 unlike objects rub against each other, causing electrons from one object to be transferred to another. The buildup of negative charges on your hair from taking off a hat is the perfect example. Electric charges don't flow through water, so in the dry winter the electrons build up and then each hair repels the other, causing fly-away hair. Your dry hair gets so many electrons that it can't stand itself! This is why dry, damaged hair is more prone to it. 

HOW TO TAME STATIC ELECTRICITY IN YOUR HAIR

Moisture, moisture, moisture! There are several ways to get that moisture back into your hair and reduce the fly-aways:

  1. Use a humidifier to help create a more humid environment.

  2. Coat your fingers with water and work through your hair.

  3. Limit heat styling. Do not dry your hair totally by leaving it a little damp.

  4. Use an Ionic hair dryer. This really works.

  5. Use a rich moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. We love Teatree Lavender Mint, Forever Blonde, Instant moisture, and Awapuhi Wild Ginger. These products are very hydrating.

  6. Use a leave-in conditioner. We have several good ones. Linda recommends spraying Lavender Mint Leave-in Treatment into your hands, then working it through your strands.

  7. Hair spray helps to control static too. Try spraying it on your hairbrush before brushing.

  8. Do a deep conditioning treatment to replenish the hair's moisture.
