Sometimes we come up with some interesting hair facts. So interesting we like to share them. This year and last year were great years to collect data about how people damaged their hair and when hair static conditions happen the most.

How Was Your Hair Damaged?

When asked “how was your hair damaged,” the overwhelming majority of respondents said it was due to color treatments. Just the color process alone caused harm to 34 percent of the hair population. This proportion rises to 51.4 percent when paired with heat generated by hair styling techniques. When chemical treatments are included, the total number climbs. A total of 54.3 percent of the hair was damaged as a result of chemical treatments and heat exposure.

When Does Static Happen The Most?

When asked “when does static happen the most” the overwhelming majority of respondents said during Winter. A small number of respondents said Fall. So as you can see there is a trend. As the weather gets colder static conditions are on the rise. This is most likely due to being indoors and hair being subjected to heated dry air. Surprisingly static conditions do not go away completely in the Summer. This is most likely due to air conditioning drying indoor air.

For example, curly hair, when brushed, will typically expand while straight hair will look smoother. A boar bristle hairbrush will excel at personal hygiene and adding shine, while a paddle brush will be the best choice for taming frizzy hair conditions and brushing through a lot of hair fast.
