If you're in the market for winter hair care, we have good news for you. Sure, we may not be scientists, but we're here to help you figure out how to beat winter hair static and say goodbye to dry hair and static cling for good. Or at least until next year.
The reasons you may experience extra staticky hair in the winter are numerous and, unfortunately, a little unavoidable. With a dry atmosphere and increasingly dry indoor spaces - thanks to our beloved heaters - you end up with static buildup that turns flyaway hair into straight-up frizz.
The friction of hats, earmuffs, or a hood on your lovely strands will do it too. It's also likely that you're relying on hot tools to style your hair to keep it in place, which can lead to even more hair static or damaged hair during the winter months.
While we recommend changing your scrunchies and pillowcases to softer silk fabrics, the other answer is so simple that it may surprise you: Moisture! Extra moisture! We're not just talking patting your frizz down with a little water either, though with all of that heat styling you're relying on lately, it wouldn't hurt.
Adding the right (non-tap water) hair product can do wonders when it comes to reducing frizzy hair. It doesn't take too many steps, so you really don't have an excuse for it. Something as simple as incorporating hair oil or leave-in conditioner to your routine will work wonders for winter dryness.
Whether you're rocking ultra-healthy hair or hiding a dry scalp under a cute beanie, we're here for you. Judgment-free! Just remember: Taking care of staticky hair doesn't have to be intimidating.
Wash it less, moisturize it more, keep a little hair oil in your purse to pat down the frizz as needed, and shop our hair care picks below!
