The beauty of hair and the law of universal repulsion

What to do so that the hair is not electrified? If we turn to a school physics course, we can recall that charges of the same name repel each other, and oppositely charged ones, on the contrary, attract. This property explains many phenomena in our lives, including the electrification of hair, which can ruin the hairstyle and turn the head into a kind of dandelion. The fact is that electrified hair, taking a positive charge, begin to repel each other.

Why does hair get electrified?

Why is hair electrified and magnetized, what external causes affect this? Most often, dry damaged hair is electrolyzed. The most common reasons for this are:

  • dyeing and perm;
  • cold weather, wind;
  • artificial heating in winter, which makes the indoor air very dry;
  • use of a hair dryer;
  • dehydration of body tissues;
  • lack of vitamins.

Dry hair has a broken structure, in which the microscopic scales of each hair move away from the hair shaft. In healthy hair, they are tightly pressed against each other and the hair does not take on a large positive charge. Why else can electrification be observed?

Hair is strongly magnetized and electrified as a result of wearing hats, synthetic clothing, and using plastic combs.

What to do first?

Hair electrified

“Most often, hair is electrified in the winter. Synthetic fabrics, dry air from radiators and improper hair care only exacerbate the situation. The use of an antistatic agent for clothes, the use of moisturizing hair masks and the constant use of conditioner after shampooing effectively help. I also advise you to refuse hairspray, as it further contributes to their dryness.
