Probably every woman is familiar with the problem of electrified hair. What to do when a few minutes before leaving the house an unexpected “dandelion” appears on your head?
Causes
First you need to figure out why the hair is electrified. As a rule, this occurs in most cases in winter, when they are drained and dehydrated. This is due to the fact that sudden changes in temperature adversely affect the condition of the scalp, which leads to the fact that the hair is electrified. Also, the appearance of a "dandelion" may indicate a violation of the cuticle.
The hair is divided into 2 parts: the outer - the core, and the internal - the root. The outer part is covered with a cuticle on top, which consists of a large number of cells.
To accurately understand the structure, you can imagine a bump: if the hair is electrified, then the scales stick out in different directions - the hair is damaged.
If the curls are smooth, then the flakes fit snugly against each other.
Also, the sun's rays, wind, perm, the use of irons, hair dryers, and tricks can affect the problem of electrification of hair.
Ways to combat hair electrification
As mentioned above, hair is electrified for various reasons. But all these reasons combine common ways to combat the appearance of "dandelion." Firstly, you need to choose the right shampoo and conditioner. Here you need to immediately determine what is missing if the hair is electrified. If moisturizing, then the series should be moisturizing, if nutritional, then nutritious. It is important to choose cosmetics for the hair of one series, only then the effect will be maximum. Secondly, you need to stock up with indelible means that will help to veil and "solder" the scales from the outside. Such products include sprays, serums, liquid silk or hair fluids. It is important to understand that serums and sprays affect the structure only externally, so you should not expect full cure from them. Thirdly, as often as possible you need to visit a hairdresser. It is very good if the hairdresser has been working for a long time and knows all the subtleties. A good specialist will advise biolamination - this is a procedure during which each hair is covered with a kind of thin film that protects its inner core.
Fans of folk remedies will also not be left without a way to solve the problem. Firstly, these are oil masks: heated oil (burdock, castor, almond) should be applied to the roots of clean, dry hair and distributed over the entire length. It is best to leave the mask overnight. Secondly, this is a popular modern method of combing aroma: 4 drops of essential oil (the best are ylang-ylang, lavender, orange, eucalyptus) and comb the hair for at least 3 minutes should be dripped onto a natural comb.
It is worth noting that if hair is electrified, then a natural comb should be chosen so that it does not spoil the hair shaft. Therefore, the use of cheap plastic and iron combs is unacceptable. If the hair is electrified at work, at school or at any event, then you must carry antistatic wipes with you. They need to wipe the comb.
Thus, a "dandelion" appears due to the influence of various factors, whether it is weather conditions, external radiation or lack of vitamins. But it is possible and necessary to deal with this - the most effective methods are listed above.
