Get Rid of Hair Static and Dry Hair!

There are several things you can do to control hair static and dry hair. Static electricity can be a real problem, especially during dry winter months. You should not wash your hair everyday. You strip your hair of natural oils that decrease static in your hair.



When you condition your hair, don't wash it all out. Leave a little bit of it in your hair just on the mid sections and ends. You don't want your hair 'squeaky clean' after using a conditioner. Conditioners help lay the cuticle of your hair down, which helps control static. Static is created when your hair cuticle is raised.

Tips to Cut Down on Hair Static



  • Your hair has a cuticle just like your nails. Using a little gel or mousse in your hair will help lay the cuticle of your hair down and help control static.

  • Another great alternative is to mist water into your hair during the day. Just spritz your hair when possible.

  • If your hair is feeling dry and brittle, try an overnight olive oil treatment. Olive Oil is a great way to restore moisture to the ends of your hair or skin. Apply it to your hair overnight with a cap on to protect your pillowcase and sheets and wash it out the next day.

  • Using a shine product in your hair is another great alternative. Just don't overdo or you'll make your hair look greasy instead. And don't apply it to the roots either. Shine products should be used minimally. Try John Frieda Finishing Creme. Its a great product and very inexpensive and like other John Frieda products, it smells divine!

  • If you use a blow dryer, set your blow dryer to low heat or let your hair air dry if possible. Finish off any blow drying by using a cool shot. When you use a final cool shot of air on your hair, you help close the cuticle. When your cuticles lay down, you have less hair breakage and you increase shine-ability. Your hair will also be more controllable and be less likely to create hair static.

  • Don't apply conditioner to your roots if you use one. Use a good moisturizing conditioner, like John Frieda conditioner, especially in the winter and especially if you color or perm your hair. If your hair is damaged you may want to try a good protein conditioner, protein treatment with moisture, or a leave in conditioner like Infusium Leave In Conditioner.

  • If your hair is still dry, do an occasional Cholesterol treatment or use a hair mask like Neutrogena Triple Moisture Recovery Hair Mask. Cholesterol treatments were originally designed for African American hair types but most women find that they're extremely helpful in treating dry hair. Directions for use are on the product and are really easy to use. All conditioner's work better with heat if you have a heat cap.

  • If your ends are especially dry, you may want to consider getting a trim. Its not a 'solve all' tip but can save your hair if you have a lot of split ends. When you don't trim off split ends, they just keep splitting. The splits will get higher and higher and then you'll have to cut a lot more off if you don't keep them trimmed. You can find a lot of great ways to cut your own hair on my hair tube.

  • Smoothing shampoos and smoothing conditioners work really well to lay down the cuticle of your hair, which helps retain moisture. Static happens when there's not enough moisture.

  • Other great products to use are hair glaze and hair wax. John Frieda has a hair glaze that adds color or is just a clear glaze. If you have multi-tonal hair, that is more than one color in your hair, use a hair glaze to refresh the color. Glazes and waxes also help lay the cuticle of the hair down which keeps it silky and helps control those fly away hairs!

  • At home, use a home cool air humidifier. These add moisture back to the dry air that you're in, and put moisture back into your hair, nails, and skin. You'll also be able to breathe much easier! They are inexpensive to buy at most any store, at around $20.

  • Rub a Bounce dryer sheet throughout your hair before you walk out the door into the cold, dry air. Your hair will not only have less static, it'll smell great!

  • Leave in conditioners help protect your hair and lay your hair cuticle down. These are a great way to help control hair static.

  • Rub your hands over your hair during the day. The oils that accumulate on your palms, transfer to your hair and make it behave more favorably.

  • Avoid using plastic brushes or combs. They create lots more static electricity than natural bristled brushes.

    Control hair static and dry hair in dry environments by using these helpful tips and strategies.
