What causes static hair?
Before we get into how to get rid of static hair, let's first talk about what causes it.
Static hair occurs when your hair is dry and/or frizzy. When your hair is lacking moisture, it becomes more prone to friction and thus, static.
There are a few different factors that can contribute to dry, frizzy hair. These include:
- Using harsh shampoos and conditioners
- Blow-drying your hair too often
- Exposing your hair to cold weather
- Rubbing your hair with a towel
All of these things can strip away the natural oils that help to keep your hair hydrated.
How to prevent static hair in the first place
The best way to deal with static hair is to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Here are a few tips on how to do just that:
Use a humidifier: Dry air is one of the main culprits when it comes to static hair. By using a humidifier, you can add moisture back into the air and help to prevent your hair from becoming dry and frizzy.
Invest in a good conditioner: A good conditioner can work wonders for static-prone hair. Look for a conditioner that is tailored for your hair type (e.g., if you have oily hair, look for a volumizing conditioner)
Use a leave-in conditioner: In addition to using a regular conditioner, you might also want to try a leave-in conditioner. This will help to keep your hair hydrated throughout the day.
Avoid heat styling: Heat styling can cause serious damage to your hair. If you can, avoid blow-drying, curling, and straightening your hair. If you do need to heat style, be sure to use a heat protectant.
Brush your hair with a natural bristle brush: Synthetic bristles can cause static buildup. To avoid this, opt for a hair brush with natural bristles.
