In winter, wearing a hat is essential but also synonymous with electric hair. What if a simple gesture could fix it?
At the start of the year, winter has well and truly reared its ugly head. Negative temperatures are there, and snow has even made a few appearances here and there. No doubt, it’s time to bring out your hat (or balaclava if you follow fashion). But once the headgear is removed, it’s a disaster: the hair becomes electric, and it’s difficult to get rid of it. Forget the blow-dry carefully done the same morning. However, there is no question of going out without covering your head. This area is much more sensitive to temperature variations, which can give the impression of being cold all over once the skull is exposed. Then comes a tip to dominate the lengths and avoid the “mad scientist” effect when you remove the cap. Simple as pie, it doesn’t require much.
First of all, it is important to specify that this phenomenon often comes from friction between the hair and the fabric, accentuated by the dry winter air and dehydration of the hair fiber. To remedy electric hair, it is therefore important to provide hydration. The right move? In case of emergency, take a tiny amount of hand cream, rub your palms and then brush through your hair. There you go, that’s it! This tip also works with hair oil or even styling product.
As the saying goes: prevention is better than cure. So, before going out in the morning, spread a dab of a leave-in treatment or serum on your lengths. This creates a protective barrier and prevents electricity from taking over your hair. Finally, opt for a bonnet lined with silk or satin. These smooth materials reduce friction and preserve the hydration of your hair, preventing it from charging with electricity. If you don’t have one, you can slip a small silk scarf under your usual hat.
No need to sacrifice your blow-dry on the altar of cold. Thanks to these simple reflexes, remove your hat with complete confidence: winter will never again have a hold on your mane.
