Hi there !!I am asking William or Karen for advice as I have had advice from them before and they are excellent people!My problem, which has existed for years now, is that my 'half way down my back' long hair has this static effect. The static effect is caused by the hundreds of snapped hairs that are shorter than the rest of the bunch and curl up...I am really dsesperate to get rid of this...I am currently using Joico's KERAPRO conditioning shampoo together with a normal hair conditioner but it doesn't seem to resolve the problem really. The fact is that my hair is dryish but my scalp is oily and I hjave to wash my hair every 2-3 days max beacuse it gets dirty really easily. Whenever I was it and then dry it, with a blow dryer yes but at intervals and not with very hot air, I get many snapped hairs coming out like small short hairs or however hairs that are shorter than the total length...I guess it's because they snap right. I am also using a leave in restructurising conditioner and yet again it doesn't seem to do much. The funny thing is that I have very little to no split ends at all, so calling my hair 'damaged' would be wrong I think..but I still can't get rid of this static effect caused by hair that snaps easily when I wash it and dry it and then cursl up. I do not apply the shampoo to the lengths.PLEASE HELP I AM GETTING REALLY DESPERATE !!THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE ADVICE IN THE PAST! KEEP IT UP!Diego

Hi,I just wanted to offer some thoughts: Those hairs you describe as snapped off are probably hairs growing in from hair naturally shedding -they're the replacement hairs. I think when hair gets longer they get more noticable, but everyone has them. Please don't worry-it's natural and healthy!It sounds like you are taking great care of your hair. Just (if you don't already know this)don't rub your hair with a towell, gently blot excess moisture with the towell.Never brush wet hair, use the widest tooth comb or pic you can find. sometimes certain shampoos, conditioners, and other hair products can cause static. I also read on a hair site that using a wooden handled, boar bristle brush (I think they are sometimes called "natural bristles brush)can reduce static electricity. Kent makes a great brush.Let me know if this helps.Holly

Hi again,I just wanted to add another tip: If you're not doing this already, try using a satin pillowcase. I'm not sure but it might help to keep those "growing in" hairs a little more under control. At the very least, it's suppose to be more helpful to your hair overall than just regular cotton pillowcases.Holly
