my hair keeps going static?

Question

i know its because its winter, but how can i reduce this?
i normally wash my hair, condition, and then brush it, on a normal routine, so i know its definitely due to the colder weather..

Answer 1

Hi there!

I have some suggestions that you can try. First off, pay close attention to the types of shoes you wear in the winter, there are lots that conduct static, and those you want to avoid. Try on different shoes, and see which cause the least amount of static and try to stick with those.

With your hair, after you wash it, condition it with a really deep super conditioner, so that your hair will be less dry. Dry, brittle hair gets more static than really healthy hair. Then gently towel dry your hair and use a leave in conditioner spray. Also avoid products that add silicon to your hair like Pantene because that actually causes static.

Brush your hair before it dries, not after. Some people say to spray your brush with anti-static spray if you want to, I don't know about putting that on hair though I've never tried it.

I normally like to use a gel or something that will seal in moisture, like perhaps a spray gel, a mouse or a leave in hair texturizer, and then I put my hair up and let it air dry, and avoid the hairdryer.

If you absolutely must use a hairdryer, use a spray in gel, and do let your hair air dry ( up in a scrunchy if you have curly hair ) or pulled back in a pony tail ( if you have straight hair ) for about 20 minutes before turning the hairdryer on. Try to use the lowest setting, or use a diffuser.

The biggest culprits of static in hair is dry hair, overuse of hairdryers, not moisturizing it enough and brushing it!

Some brushes produce static when you run them through your hair. Be extra careful to avoid those types of brushes. I'm not sure the exact ones, but try different ones to see which ones seem to cause the most static, then avoid those.

Try not to wear certain clothes that cause static too, like rayons and certain nylon fabrics. Stick with cottons.

Good luck! :)

My hair gets static in the winter, and I use a humidefier (winter only)in the house and that helps tremendously. Also, brushing can cause extra static along with blow-dryer. If possible, wash every other day, comb instead of brush. Before blow-drying let hair air dry as much as possible so as to not use the heat from the dryer as long ,and if you can use your fingers to style your hair instead of a brush while blow- drying that will help also.

It's because the heat is on in your home. Check to see if your furnace has a humidifier attached and make sure it's set up for the winter months. If you don't have on on your furnace buy one to set up in your living room or bedroom. The extra moisture in the air is crucial to keeping your hair and skin looking and feeling its best. You can also try a leave in conditioner or some kind of smoothing spray (Loreal has a good one). Sometimes when I'm done drying my hair a rub lotion on my hands and when it's mostly rubbed it I just run my hands over the surface of my hair. That helps with any flyaways and smells really nice. There are lots of things you can do for the static and it mostly just has to do with keeping enough moisture in the air and on your hair and skin.

Answer 4

Place a humidifier in the house. Or boil a pan of water on the stove. Dry air not only is bad for your hair, but skin as well. You will have problems with dry nose and can cause nosebleeds.
This will also cut down on heating costs as humidity in the air makes it feel warmer!
Good Luck

Answer 5

My mom has that problem and she sprays a *little* bit of Static Guard (like the stuff for laundry) on her head every morning. Sounds weird, but it totally works.

Answer 6

It is doing this becuase you are over heating your hair aka blow dry then more heat makes it static so try using less heat or
use Schwarzkopf pro styling heat protection Before any heat
and then
use friss ease hair serum after blow drying

Answer 7

It's because the air is so dry. You can by a cheap humidifier at Walmart that will help make your house or apartment less dry.

Answer 8

if you over-brush your hair, you dry it out. The best thing to resist static is moisture.

Answer 9

Try using a little dab of VITAPOINT rubbed into your hands and rub it into your hair when you have dried it, works a treat.

Answer 10

try usin a serum i found the panten one good it puts some of the nayural oils back in your hair. and it smells good too.
