Not only is there a lot of dandruff in winter, but everyone is also prone to a problem: in a dry environment, due to the action of static electricity, hair becomes dry and astringent, and even split ends may occur. If long shawl hair rubs against clothes for a long time, the problem of static electricity and frizz will become more serious.
Static electricity will not only make your hair lose its smoothness and beauty, but it will also absorb dust and even affect the cleanliness of your facial skin by sticking to your face. In fact, many people should know that static electricity in hair is caused by the hair being too dry. In addition, the weather is very dry in winter. Dry hair is like "thunder and fire on the ground". It is difficult not to generate static electricity.
Let’s first understand that 90% of the ingredients in our hair are keratin, and there are also some fibrous tissues, and there are many natural moisturizing factors distributed between them. If a person’s hair looks very shiny, the smoothness is actually determined by these moisturizing factors. Just like skin is dry and dull due to dehydration, hair looks dry, lacks luster, and has static electricity. These are also external manifestations of dehydration. Internally, it means that the number of moisturizing factors is low or is lost quickly. Therefore, if you want to quickly get rid of static electricity in your hair, the best way is to increase the moisture content of your hair, that is, to moisturize your hair.
We have already understood the causes of frizzy and static electricity in winter hair. How can we maintain the fineness and gloss of our hair and reduce the generation of static electricity and frizzy hair?
Here’s how to reduce friction & eliminate static electricity! Protecting your hair doesn’t have to be that hard!
Cleansing and Care Products:
1. Shampoo & Conditioner
When it comes to choosing care products, it is best to use a moisturizing shampoo during the dry seasons of autumn and winter. If your hair is oily, just choose a moisturizing shampoo. There are many such products on the market, and you can choose according to your own habits and preferences.
Be sure to use conditioner after washing. Conditioner contains surfactants, oils, essences and other ingredients. It has soft, shiny, easy to comb, anti-static effects, and can repair hair damaged by perming and dyeing. It mainly closes the epidermal scales of the hair, making the hair smooth, easy to comb, healthy and supple. It is more effective than shampoo in replenishing nutrients to the hair, repairing damaged hair, and replenishing moisture to the hair. It is also more effective. Reduce the generation of static electricity.
2. Hair essential oil
It can be used appropriately according to the condition of your hair. The climate is dry in autumn and winter. Appropriate use of hair care essential oil can also reduce the rapid loss of moisture in the hair and keep the hair moisturized. At the same time, it can also add a protective film to the hair and smooth the open hair scales. Flat to reduce the generation of static electricity.
Selection of Tools:
1. Hair dryer-hair dryer
Many people have certain misunderstandings about blow-drying their hair. They think that the hair will become frizzy and dry after blow-drying, so they choose not to blow-dry their hair to "protect" the hair quality. But in fact, the cuticle of hair is opened after washing, and moisture and nutrients are easily lost. In addition, dry weather will also take away the moisture of the hair itself, which is harmful to the hair. Only by blow-drying your hair in time can the hair cuticles be closed and effectively lock in moisture. In autumn and winter, it is best to choose a negative ion hair dryer with an intelligent temperature control device to protect your hair more effectively. The biggest difference of a negative ion hair dryer is that it has a built-in negative ion generator that generates a large number of negative ions. The static electricity generated by the hair has a positive charge. The negative ions generated by the negative ion hair dryer will neutralize the positive charge of the hair, eliminate the static electricity in the hair, and smooth the unruly hair. Therefore, the hair dried with the negative ion hair dryer will feel very smooth.
Choosing the right hair dryer will not only not damage your hair, but also make your hair smoother and shiny.
Comb Your Hair - Comb
Generally, when you comb your hair with plastic combs or metal combs, the static electricity generated will be greater. When you comb your hair, your hair will get tangled with the comb. In the end, not only will your hair not be straightened out, but it will become more likely to get knotted. It is best to use a wooden or horn comb. This type of comb generates less static electricity. At the same time, long-term use of a wooden comb or a horn comb can also massage the brain, scalp and head nerves, promote blood circulation, and relax tension and fatigue.
If your hair is particularly long, you can also apply some hair oil or no-wash conditioner before combing your hair. This will give your hair a certain amount of humidity, which will also help smooth the hair scales and relieve static electricity on your hair in winter.
Selection of daily necessities
Pillowcases should be made of silk, natural fiber, which is relatively delicate and smooth. After sleeping all night, your hair will be soft and frizzy, and it can also effectively reduce the generation of static electricity in your hair.
Wear clothes made of natural fibers, such as cotton, wool, silk, linen, etc., which are highly hygroscopic. Moreover, surface water films or water veins in the fibers are easily formed on the surface of natural fibers and in microcapillaries, which is conducive to the escape of electrons or ions., so it can reduce the generation of static electricity.
