How to Remove Static From Dry Hair

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Amelia and I'm going to talk to you about how to remove static from the hair. What causes static is dryness from the environment. So you want to make sure that you're using a quality conditioner at home or even a leave in conditioner on top of that if you're really having an issue with static on a regular basis. Fine hair does tend to attract it more than coarser hair. Why? I don't know. That's just the way it is. So when you've got static going on, you can try a little bit of water and just spray it. And what that will do, that'll add the moisture back into the hair and comb it down. Another thing that works well is hair spray. Again, you just lightly spray. Anything that's going to basically add moisture back into the hair. A dryer sheet works well even though I have been told that that actually is a myth and doesn't work that well. But what's really going to work the best is your water, your hairspray. You can also when your brush tends to attract a lot of static, you can in the winter lightly spray your brush with some hairspray. Another good thing that works really well is static guard which we all know from using on our skirts with hose. You just spray a little bit on your brush or a little bit on your hair and that'll definitely get rid of the static. So just make sure that you use a conditioner in the shower after you shampoo, something light that de-tangles, and if it's really bad, a leave in conditioner before you style, and then again you can try a static guard, hairspray, water. Just remember you need to add moisture back into the environment. You can even keep a humidifier running at all times and that will help too because static does tend to happen in the winter when things are a lot dryer. So by using those items, you should be able to get static control."
