In addition to hair that is still growing, split ends caused by hair damage can also cause flyaways.

The causes of split ends are as follows:

– Chemical damage caused by repeated hair coloring and bleach perms

– Heat damage caused by hair dryers and irons

– Friction damage caused by brushing and towel drying

– Sun damage caused by ultraviolet rays

Various types of damage can make the cuticle that coats the surface of the hair more susceptible to peeling.

This causes nutrients and moisture inside the hair to leak out. The hair becomes brittle and delicate, causing split ends and breakage.

Another cause of flyaways is static electricity, which is common in winter when humidity is low and dry.

Dry, brittle hair is more likely to pick up static electricity and cause friction. Hair becomes more likely to tangle and break, causing flyaways.

Hair contains positive and negative ions, and healthy hair maintains an even balance.

However, when the ion balance of hair is disrupted due to hair damage or dryness, it becomes more susceptible to static electricity.
Static electricity has a negative effect on hair and scalp because it attracts germs and dust from the air to the hair and scalp.
