What is static hair ?

Static hair happens when your hair takes on extra electrons and thus picks up an electric charge. The charge in your hair will cause the strands to repel one another like magnets. The strands become unruly, may cling to your skin or clothes, and even stand on end!

The Cause of Static Hair 

Static hair is caused by friction between your hair and another object. This could be your hairbrush,  The friction between the other object in your hair causes electrons to rub off on your hair, leaving it with an electric charge.

Static hair is made much worse by dry and dusty conditions. That’s why static electricity in hair is worse in the Indian summers. 

9 Ways to Stop Static Hair

So any hair care routine designed to stop static hair must work by imbuing hair with lightweight moisture. The best defence is a good offence, so defend your hair against static electricity by following these simple anti-static hair care tips.

Make sure that the roots of the hair are masked. As hair is most prone to chemical reactions, they tend to become extremely dry.

If you’re shampooing your hair every day, consider cutting down on wash days. Shampooing your hair too often can leave it dry and more prone to static electricity. To stop static hair, wash your hair no more than two to three times per week.

Also, make sure that you wash your hair with lukewarm water and never hot water. Hot showers may feel amazing, but hot water can dry out your hair and leave it more prone to static electricity.

3 Hydrate with Conditioner

Conditioners replenish your hair with hydration and help to prevent static electricity in hair.

6 Choose the right hair care Tools 

Metal combs and brushes can also be a no-no for static hair. Instead, look for brushes and combs made out of natural materials like boar bristles, wood or bamboo.

Better yet, skip the brush altogether. If you have a lot of static electricity in your hair, the extra friction from brushing your hair will just make things worse. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb. If you absolutely must brush your hair, then spritz your brush with an anti-static spray for hair.

9 Stay away from Drying Ingredients 

Believe it or not, certain hair products contain ingredients that can dry out your hair, leaving it more prone to static. Sulphates are one of the biggest offenders, and they’re particularly drying for curly hair types. If you have dry or curly hair, watch out for this ingredient.
