Flyaway’s and frizz happen to most of us no matter how much we care and moisture our hair. Notably, during winters it becomes impossible to escape static hair. To understand in a better way how to tame the static hair, you need to know a little bit how it occurs.
One just can’t ignore static hair without considering some effective ways that can give you smooth and straight hair.
Here we’ll be discussing some hacks that can eventually lend a hand in augmenting your hair and shunning away static charge.
Turn to the hair oils
The primary reasons your hair conducts an electric charge is due to hydration. During the winter, strands become dry because of lack of moisture in the air. Undoubtedly, the warm indoor heat and cold winter warms are not doing any favor to your hair they are just damaging them.
So, give your hair some oiling that moisturizes the strands. Also, the nutrients in the oil help in replenishing the moisture in hair and keep the flyaways at the cove.
Upgrade Your Hair Dryer
To balance the natural charge of your hair use the high-quality hair dryer while drying your strands. Such dryer will emit the negative ions to help and to separate the water molecules. The process will not only help in drying your hair faster but also reduce the heat damage that might dry out the strands.
Avoid Plastic Comb
It is never a good idea to use plastic hair comb as it makes the hair more static. The reason behind this is plastic is non-conductive. Instead, go for a metal or wooden hair styling brush as they are conductive and will get free from static. Science!
Clothing au-naturel
Avoid the use of jackets, hat, and a scarf that contains synthetic materials like polyester and nylon as these elements charge up quickly and contribute to the static. Instead, try out wool, cotton or silk to reduce the amount of static.
Comb with Hairspray
Don’t leave the house without combing your hair with hairspray as it will help in tame the flyaways without making the hair to feel hard or crunchy. Also, the use of metal comb helps in removing the static in your hair. Isn’t it cool?
Avoid Clarifying Shampoos
This winter, instead of cleansing your hair with clarifying shampoos, try to use hydrating shampoos. Because, the clarifying shampoos will leave the hair dry, but hydrating shampoos will preserve some moisture in them and minimize the static.
Use Dryer Sheets
Don’t let the frizz and flyaways affect your personality and style. Fight with frizz by using anti-flyaway sheets and head out the door confidently.
Constant Conditioning
Now, the simplest trick is here to hit away from the static hair. Keep any face or hand cream and a body lotion with you. Just, squeeze a pea size amount of any product on your palm. Rub the cream in your hands and run through your hair. You don’t need to use many products as it will leave your hair oily. This useful trick will do all.
Humidifier
If you are residing in a very dry climate, a humidifier in your home will do everything. From skin, hair to your blankets and clothes, it will increase the moisture of all. A humidifier will make the environment so much comfortable that you will buy it sooner.
