Why Is My Hair So Static in Winter?

Winter weather is a bummer. Not only is it cold and wet, but it's also dry. And when the air is dry, that means there's little water in the air to "absorb" those electrons.

And if you're like most of us, you're probably wearing a tight-fitting hat—probably because you have hair that sticks out in every direction and needs to be kept out of your face.

The rubbing of your hat on your hair creates friction, which makes static electricity—and let's be honest: nobody looks good with flyaway hair.

If winter’s chill makes your hair stand on end, there’s more at work than a tingle down your spine. Thanks to a perfect storm of dry air and friction-causing, neck-grazing sweaters, scarves, and coats, a surplus of electrons cling to us, building up positive or negative charges that cause each strand of hair to actually repel the others. Any number of moisture-sealing creams, lotions, and oils will set your situation back to normal—but why fight it?

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. You know what's great about having electrostatic hair? All you have to do is look at a friend or loved one with a blast of static cling and instantly borrow some of their charge! Your hair will gain the same charge as your friend's or loved one's and stick together beautifully. You'll never have frizz again!
