Whether we blow it , tease it or just let it be, hair can take a real beating in the winter months, especially when it comes to static electricity.
"The cold dry weather really strips our hair of moisture and coupled with the heated environment inside, it doesn't help at all," said Paul Wharton of Life Stylist at Paul Wharton.
Good ways to avoid static hair?
Wharton said, "In the cold winter months you really need to cut your shampoo regiment in half."
And pick your shampoos carefully.
"Choose shampoos that are sulfate free and non-foaming," said Wharton.
And moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Use products with vitamin E, shea oil, coconut oil and natural carotene.
When getting out of the shower, blot your hair, don't vigorously dry it with a towel.
"When you shake it dry with a towel, you are roughing up the cuticle which will only make the fly aways worse," said Wharton.
And the home remedy of dryers sheets can help, but don't over do them.
"In a pinch, throw one in your purse, pull it out, smooth it out"
