pssst.. static hair!

Does the dry, winter weather make your hairstyle look like Albert Einstein sometimes?

Without launching into a lesson on electrons, here’s a simple explanation of static: When the weather becomes cold and dry (ahem, winter), there is not enough moisture in the air to keep your hair hydrated. 

Here are some ways to calm those electric locks:

1. Use a "leave-in" conditioner on your hair after you wash it, or apply conditioning hair gel. These products help to weigh the hair down.
2. Spray your hairbrush or comb with an anti-static spray before you run it through your hair.
3. Keep a fabric softener sheet handy and run it over your hair when it starts to get out of control. Carry it in your purse so you can use it several times during the day if necessary.
4. Avoid hair products that include ingredients that will dry out your hair, such as alcohol or harsh chemicals
