Winter weather often brings with it a vexing companion: static hair and clingy clothes. The dryness in the air, coupled with indoor heating, depletes moisture from both skin and hair, causing that annoying electric charge. To combat this, try using a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to lock in moisture. Switching to a boar-bristle brush can also help distribute natural oils along the hair shaft, reducing static.

For clothing, opt for fabrics like cotton or silk blends instead of synthetic materials that generate static. You can also lightly run a dryer sheet over garments for a quick fix. Humidifiers are another great investment, boosting indoor moisture levels so that static is less likely to form. With these practical remedies, you can face winter confidently—without that unwanted electric frizz.
