Static and dry hair:what can you do about it?

The dry air from the heating inside, your hat and scarf, the low humidity of autumn:all reasons why your hair suddenly becomes dry and static. So give it some extra love.

Rub a dryer sheet over your hair

What? You read that right:the wipes that you normally put in your dryer, you can use to prevent static hair. The layer of fabric softener on the polyester wipes gives you smoother hair and it also smells good. Rub the cloth over your hair (from crown to tips) or poke the bristles of your hairbrush through and brush your hair.

Don't wash your hair too often

In the fall, your hair dries faster, so it needs extra love. You do that by washing it less often. Thin and fine hair is best washed every other day with a hydrating shampoo † For wavy and curly hair, it may be every three or four days. Do you have frizzy hair? Washing once a week is enough. Don't forget your conditioner not and use a moisturizing hair mask once a week .

Keep it cool

Your straightener and your hair dryer are not very friendly to dry and static hair. Therefore use a good protection against the heat , to limit the damage.

Spray hairspray into your hat

Ah, the flat, chaotic haircut that comes out from under your hat… That's the charm of winter, but not necessarily desirable. Spray a layer of hairspray in your hat to prevent static hair. A tip to keep your volume under your hat:put your parting exactly the other way while wearing your hat.
