Q4: How do I fix frizzy hair before going out?
1. Apply some water to your hair.
2. Apply some moisturizing hair treatment on the damp hair.
3. Smoothly blow-dry your hair top-down and use your fingers to comb it.
4. Apply appropriate amount of moisturizing hair treatment or brightening hair-styling products to frizzy parts, and you're done.

Q5: Tips for preventing dry hair.
When washing your hair, you can use a hair treatment after shampooing. According to Max, the key point when using a hair treatment is to wait five minutes after applying it to wet hair. When you rinse, remember to use water that is at a lower temperature than the water for shampooing. This is because the higher shampoo-water temperature will open up hair cuticles. After the treatment is absorbed by the hair, using equally-hot water would re-open cuticle and wash off the treatment.

Q6: Why irritating static electricity in my hair occurs.
Because winter air is dry, the hair's moisture content will drop. Thus, when the hair has friction with other objects that are also dry, static electricity occurs.

We also recommend that you to apply some really hydrated hair treatment products to lower the harm to your hair.

Reminders:
1. Use conditioners and hair treatment after shampooing. This will increase the moisture and smoothness of your hair.
2. Use hair-moisturing products daily. Applying moisture treatments to easily dried-out hair tips can supply the moisture content that lost in dry air.
3. Avoid friction with pillowcases of certain materials. Pillowcases made of satin are the best, and remember to pull up your hair when you sleep, as this will reduce the chance of friction and having frizzy hair.
