Living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada I am always dealing with
hair static during the winter months.
At first I used to spray my hair brush with Static Guard spray and then brush
through my hair but it has a very strong smell, leaving my hair with a strong
smell.
Here are a few other methods you can try for combating
static electricity in your hair.
Dryer Sheets
You can rub a dryer sheet along the static areas of your
hair. This will smell better and should take care of the static at least
temporarily.
If you are wearing a toque or beanie you can put the dryer
sheet inside the hat to prevent a static mess when you remove it.
Moisturize
Adding hair oil like Jojoba Oil or extra conditioner to
your routine can help with static.
Dry hair is more prone to static than hydrated, moisturized
hair.
For a temporary fix, you can rub hand lotion all over your
hands, you don’t need a lot of lotion - just enough as if you are using it to
moisturize your hands, after it has soaked in a little bit, rub your hands
through the ends of your hair. The small amount of lotion on your hands should help
prevent the static but only temporarily.
Using Proper Tools
Making sure to use the right brushes and combs during the winter
season can help with static.
Look for a carbon fiber comb, as opposed to a plastic comb, Carbon Fiber is excellent
at preventing static.
When looking for a brush to prevent static, look for one
with wider bristles.
Hopefully these tips
will have you set up for a static-free winter.
