What to do about flyaway hair?

In the winter months, the humidity level is lower which can cause your hair to be dryer than normal.  In addition to the lower humidity, using a hair dryer and products with alcohol can also be drying to your hair.  To boot, the use of plastic combs or brushes create a positive charge on already dry hair, creating fly-aways or static.  The more you brush, the more fly-aways you have!

FIX

First, visit your salon and discuss the issue with your stylist.  This should always be your first choice for any hair question or issue.  Use hydrating shampoos, such as L’ANZA’s Smoothing shampoo and conditioner; DermOrganic’s Argan Oil prior to styling or as a finishing serum; Use a little hair spray (not a lot as it can dry your hair – more static); come in to the salon for a deep conditioning treatment.  As for the brushes and combs, a wooden brush such as Olivia Garden Healthy Hair Eco-Friendly Bamboo Brush, Ion and Ceramic hair brushes as well as Ceramic and Ionic hair dryers can reduce the amount of the electrical charge (we carry all of these products and more!).
