Against hair static

Say goodbye to static in your hair and enjoy your smooth and shiny tresses! Hair static becomes an unpleasant problem throughout the year, but especially in cold weather. Static electricity particularly affects dry and damaged hair that tends to develop unruly fly-aways. Read on to find out what works on hair static, how to get rid of static hair and how to find the best product that will prevent stray hairs.

Why does hair static happen?

Static electricity in our hair comes down to simple physics and the fact that identically charged poles repel one another. Positively charged dry or damaged hair is more prone to accumulating positively charged dust particles from the air and from textile fibres. This creates new particles with a positive charge, and causes static electricity to quickly turn your hair into a wild halo.

How to get rid of hair static?

Split ends, fine, damaged and dry hair are most prone to hair static, but this problem can also happen in oily hair that suffers from a lack of hydration. Luckily, there are several ways to tame fly-aways and effectively prevent static electricity in your hair.

Regular hydration

Hair static in winter is usually caused by dry air, going from a warm indoor environment outside, and from wearing hats, sweaters and scarves full of dust particles. The main rule is to always keep your hair healthy and well moisturised.

• A conditioner and shampoo for hair static will provide optimal hydration during washing. They smooth down frizzy hair, revitalise the hair shaft from root to end, and make hair easy to detangle.
• Make sure to nourish and moisturise your hair between washes by using a hair oil that smooths its structure and prevents the penetration of dust and impurities inside the hair shaft.
• A smoothing hair cream or an anti-static spray for hair with frizz and static charge are handy products that work really fast and you can carry them with you, whether you’re at the office or while travelling.
• Once a week, your routine should include a nourishing hair mask with keratin that will strengthen your hair and protect it from dryness as well as damage.
• Fly-aways after hair colouring are caused by damaged cuticles (the scaly protective layer of the hair shaft). This is why you should try to nourish and intensely regenerate your hair as much as possible after using a hair dye at home or getting a colouring job in a salon.

Our tip: It is important to hydrate your hair from the inside as well as the outside. Make sure to stay hydrated throughout the day and drink lots of herbal tea or fruit and vegetable-based drinks with vitamins.

Good anti-static hair brush and comb

How to deal with hair static during brushing? Swap your plastic comb for one made of bamboo, for a wooden comb or an anti-static hair brush with natural bristles.

Our tip: You can try applying some anti-static hair spray on your brush or comb – it will smooth your hair down and provide a light hold while combatting static.

How to prevent hair static right after washing?

If you want to prevent static electricity after washing, you need to choose the right drying method, a quality hair dryer and the right heat-styling products.

• Don’t forget to use a good heat protectant before blow-drying, straightening or curling your hair, so that your tresses are protected from getting dehydrated and damaged and subsequent static.
• Use a hair dryer with ioniser that neutralises the electric charge and dries your hair faster without weighing it down or stripping it of too much moisture.
• Set the hair dryer to a lower temperature and blow-dry your hair exclusively in the direction of its growth.
• An ionising hair straightener and curling iron are great for final straightening and curling that results in a healthy, glossy hairstyle without any static.
