It's because of static electricity. You know the trick you see in school where you rub a balloon on your hair and your hair sticks up, it's the same sort of thing. Friction causes static electricity and you notice it more on dry days because there is no moisture molicules to "cushion" it.

How do you straighten your hair with a blow dryer and circular brush like at hair salons?

Comb out your hair. Then blow dry all the excess wetness out of it so that it is just damp. You have to section your hair off like they do in the salon. Start at the bottom of your head and clip the rest up out of the way. Take half of this hair and put the brush in at the roots. Put the dryer on the brush so that the heat is on the hair but going away from the head and rotate the brush about 3 times if you can. Take out the brush and do this again to make sure that the roots are dry. When they are put the brush at the roots again, put the dryer on it and pull it down your hair when you get to half way take out the brush put it at the roots again and dry it to the same place. Then you can drag the brush to the ends to dry them. You need to put a lot of tension and drag on it so don't be afraid of a little pain if your hair is hard to straighten anyway. These are guidle lines: if your hair is thicker/thinner you may have to rotate the brush more/less times.


When you brush or comb your hair vigorously on an extremely dry day your hair strands on end because?

this is due to static electricity building up in your hair when you brush or comb vigorously on a dry day. The friction from the brushing or combing can cause electrons to transfer between your hair strands, creating an imbalance of charge that makes your hair stand up. Using a moisturizing hair product or a humidifier can help reduce static electricity in your hair.


My hair is naturally curly but when I brush it the curls go away I do not like to use hairsprays or anything like that How can I make them stay?

You simply don't brush it. You can brush it as soon as you get out of the shower, but not when it is dry. Put curly hair products in it afterwards. These vary according to how curly your hair is. Some mousse for curly hair will probably work great. After you put the product in, scrunch your hair with your hands while it is drying.


Steps on how to brush your hair?

The best tools are a wide toothed comb and a boar bristle brush. Hair care gets more critical the longer your hair is. The hair should not be washed every day, but more like around twice a week, and preferably in the morning. Comb your hair before washing it. Comb hair while full of conditioner. To dry your hair, squeeze and stroke your hair gently with a towel. Air dry hair and prevent it from getting damaged while wet. When completely dry, use a wide toothed comb to detangle hair. Work from the ends of your hair, always stroking downwards. Never comb, brush, pull, or yank your hair when wet. Never rub, scrub, or brush your hair upwards ever. Never use a brush to detangle hair or on wet or unhealthy hair.

Does brushing your hair create static electricity?

Brushing your hair can create static electricity, especially if your hair is dry or if the brush is made of a material that promotes friction. The friction between the brush and your hair can cause electrons to be transferred, resulting in a build-up of static charge on your hair.


Why do you think When long dry hair is brushed the strands often move away from each other?

Long dry hair tends to create static electricity when brushed, causing the hair strands to repel each other. This repulsion occurs due to the friction between the hair and the brush, resulting in the strands moving away from each other. Conditioning the hair or using an anti-static spray can help reduce this effect.
