So, the fat marmot in Pennsylvania says we’re looking at 6 more weeks of winter.  By now, you’ve probably had your fill of showing up to work or at the bar and peeling off your winter hat to have your hair look like a 6th grade science experiment.  Well, middle-school is a memory best repressed, so Qroomer has a few tips for how to keep your hair under control while wearing a lid.

Challenge:
Going in and out of freezing outside conditions to a warm building quickly draws out the moisture from your hair.  Without moisture, you’ve got static electricity build-up (insert 6th grade science memory). Now throw in a cap made of wool and a variation of bed-head quickly follows.

The Fixes:

1. You want to try and restore as much moisture as possible in your hair.  Like most winter moisture challenges, Jojoba and almond oil are great for keeping H2O in your doo.  If you’re one for throwing in a little product in your mane, check out High Definition Hair Pomade by Jack Black as it has Lanolin and natural extracts that provide superior anti-frizz benefits following your shower.
2. Consider changing your cap of choice.  Wool might have to go for those of us sporting longer locks.  A good alternative is the English flat cap that will keep heat in your body but not frizz you up.

Just remember, we’re closing in on the days of spring, where the next challenge will be how to wear your Mathew McConaughey head band without sacrificing your look.
