🧼Best anti-static hair products for 2020

Many women are familiar with such a problem as electrifying hair, which is especially acute with the onset of cold weather. Hats, lack of vitamins and improper care become the reason that the hair is difficult to style, and it looks unpresentable and dull. In order to help you cope with this difficulty, the editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you an overview of the best antistatic agents for 2020.

Antistatic - what is it

Cosmetic antistatic agents are used to neutralize the electrical build-up of hair, which can lead to excessive frizz. This is the so-called "dandelion effect", when the hairs randomly stick out in all directions and react to any contact - with clothes, a comb and other objects. The fact is that friction (as, for example, when combing) contributes to the formation of positively charged ions in the curls. As a result, positively charged hairs repel each other and fly away.

Electrification prevents styling and makes brushing difficult. But in addition to the fact that it negatively affects the aesthetic appearance of the hairstyle, it is also an alarming signal that the strands are dry and in need of care.

Most often, girls are faced with the problem of electrification in the cold season. Central heating and various heating devices dry up indoor air, which causes the body to suffer from a lack of moisture. In this case, the problem of electrification can be solved radically - install a humidifier or air ionizer.

But it should be remembered that electrification can also be the result of frequent "hot" styling, illiterate care, the use of hard combs, exposure to ultraviolet radiation and sudden changes in temperature. And here, in addition to changing established habits, it is worth thinking about anti-static.

What are the antistatic agents?

There are the following types of cosmetic antistatic agents:

1. Shampoo - reduces electrification at the stage of shampooing. According to the recommendations of experts, shampoos should be chosen that help restore water balance in the structure of the hair shaft. The best moisturizing shampoos should contain proteins, aquatoril and ceramides;
2. Conditioner - antistatic conditioners contain polyunsaturated fatty acids, keratin and panthenol, which not only contribute to easy combing, but also facilitate the styling process;
3. Balm - can be washed off and leave-on type. Balms with the function of reducing electrification contain nourishing and moisturizing elements that prevent moisture loss;
4. Mask - a high quality moisturizing mask is a good emergency remedy to eliminate the "dandelion effect".Masks make hair more radiant and well-groomed;
5. Spray is the fastest way to tame hairs sticking out in different directions. Has a smoothing effect thanks to the oils in the composition - coconut, argan, shea, jojoba and others;
6. Serum - characterized by a rich composition that penetrates deep into the roots, has a powerful regenerating effect and neutralizes static electricity;
7. Varnish - not only fixes the hairstyle, but also protects the hair from the harmful effects of the environment. And the caring components have an antistatic effect.

Combs should be distinguished into a separate category.

The anti-static comb should be ceramic and wood coated. Also, brushes with an ionizing function will help eliminate electrification.

Next, we will consider the main selection criteria in order to understand which antistatic agent is better to buy.

How to choose an antistatic agent

Sprays

Sprays are considered the most convenient of all the above options - they allow you to quickly and easily smooth the curls. Also, the popularity of such products is due to their ease of use - the spray can be sprayed on strands at home or taken with you on the road / to work / study. Most sprays have a fairly compact format, and therefore fit even in a woman's purse.

The principle of action of antistatic sprays is reduced to the formation of a special film on the strands, which strengthens the curls, prevents them from drying out and reduces electrification. And the effectiveness of the antistatic agent is ensured by the inclusion in the composition of substances such as:

• silicones - a film is formed on the surface of the hairs, thereby "sealing" the cuticle, which is a thin, overlapping scales. Thus, the cuticle scales fit tightly and neatly, and the hair becomes soft, silky and shiny. However, a distinction should be made between quality and low-grade silicones. The former are most often found in professional cosmetics, and their main feature is that they are easily washed out of the strands. The latter have inexpensive means in their composition and their disadvantage is that they accumulate on the surface of the hair shaft and subsequently lead to cross-section and fragility;
• vitamins - necessary to provide balanced nutrition to the scalp and hairline;
• glycerin - the viscous texture of glycerin perfectly moisturizes and softens strands, provides them with strength and health. But it should be remembered that everything is fine in moderation - too much glycerin in the composition or too frequent use of products with glycerin can lead to addiction, which negates all the useful properties of this substance.

Masks

Masks differ from conditioners and balms in a more saturated composition. Their main task is to intensively nourish the curls with useful substances, providing comprehensive care. Masks are required for those who have damaged, falling out, dull and hard curls without volume. A properly selected mask with an antistatic effect will not only facilitate combing, but also heal the hair, stimulate growth, give energy and shine.

Typically, such products have a creamy texture, are applied to wet, clean strands once or twice a week and require rinsing. Since the masks have a very short duration (1 to 10 minutes) they have a high pH level, and therefore it is important to strictly follow the instructions when applying.

Masks are divided into:

• fillers - diluted with water to a more liquid state, applied to the strands and left for a while. They require the creation of a warm environment - wrapping the head with a towel or putting on a special warming cap;
• boosters - are highly concentrated additives that enhance the effect of care products. Most often they are produced in the form of ampoules, the contents of which must be added to the main product immediately before application;
• peels - have scrubbing particles in the composition for deep cleansing and preparation for further procedures. Eliminate grease, dandruff, enhance growth.

Serums

Serums (or serums) are known to be good SOS remedies that have a quick and immediate effect. They facilitate the styling process, make the hair obedient, remove static electricity, moisturize and restore the ends.

Serums generally do not require rinsing after application to clean curls and are suitable for daily use. They are found in different formats and different compositions - you should choose based on the condition of the hair and the problem that needs to be solved:

• Oil serums, fluids, emulsions - used exclusively on the ends, and are recommended for dry and porous strands;
• Cream elixirs and essences - distributed along the entire length, but not applied to the scalp, otherwise the hair quickly becomes oily. Suitable for damaged, normal and mixed curls;
• Mousses and milk - spray on the strands completely, prevent tangling and increase the density of the hair shaft. Especially good for oily, curly and fine curls;
• Lotions and tonics - designed for scalp care. They prevent hair loss, fight dandruff and other problems.

How to solve the problem at home

Instead of industrially produced antistatic agents, you can use home remedies based on natural and affordable ingredients.

Homemade anti-static hair care spray can be made using the following recipes.

Option I:

Pour 200 ml of filtered water into a spray bottle. Add three drops each of lavender and rose essential oil, which are easy to buy at the pharmacy. Shake the bottle before use.

Option II:

Combine half a glass of water with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Spray on strands as needed. This composition is especially recommended for oily skin.

Option III:

In a ratio of 1 to 5, combine table vinegar with water. Spray on the hair two to three times a day.

The rinse aid also eliminates static well. To create it, you need to mix 1 tablespoon of dried medicinal chamomile flowers and 1 tablespoon of dry nettle leaves. Pour boiling water in a volume of 0.5 liters and leave for 45 minutes. Next, the infusion should be filtered and rinsed with the hair after shampooing.

It is important to pay attention to the fact that any product used for the first time (including spray on the head) must be tested before use. In order to determine the safety of the composition, a small amount should be applied to the skin of the forearm and the reaction should be monitored. If a rash, redness or itching appears within an hour, this indicates an individual intolerance to one or more components by the body.

Hair Care Tips

To maintain the beauty of your hair, you should adhere to the following rules:

1. To humidify the air in the room during the heated period - such a simple and budgetary way as installing a water container next to the battery can help in this;
2. Synthetic material provokes the occurrence of static electricity, and therefore synthetic hats should be avoided, giving preference to natural fabrics;
3. Regularly moisturize the scalp and scalp with care products - balms, conditioners, masks;
4. Wash your hair in warm water, completing the cleansing procedure with rinsing with cool water or room temperature;
5. Minimize the use of high-temperature electrical appliances (pads, tongs, etc.);
6. Use thermal protectors for hot styling. Thermal protection will prevent damage to the cuticle and protect against the negative effects of high temperatures;
7. Comb your hair with a ceramic or wooden comb, or purchase a brush with natural bristles.

Also, to neutralize static, you can resort to salon procedures, for example, kerathermia.
