Why hair frizzes
Hair absorbs water vapour from the air and swells, so frizz follows the dew point, the amount of water in the air. Below a 4 °C dew point the air is dry and winter brings static. From 10 °C hair starts to puff up, from 15 °C blow-dried waves drop, and above 18 °C loose hair is almost impossible to control.
Frequently asked
01What is the dew point?
The temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapour. The higher it is, the more moisture is in the air and the more hair frizzes.
02How do I stop static in my hair?
Use a leave-in conditioner or oil on the ends, a wooden comb and natural-fibre hats; a humidifier helps indoors.
