Static Hair: Top 10 Hacks to Combat Flyaway Hair

Turn to the hair oils

The primary reasons your hair conducts an electric charge is due to hydration. During the winter, strands become dry because of lack of moisture in the air. Undoubtedly, the warm indoor heat and cold winter warms are not doing any favor to your hair they are just damaging them.

So, give your hair some oiling that moisturizes the strands. Also, the nutrients in the oil help in replenishing the moisture in hair and keep the flyaways at the cove.

Upgrade Your Hair Dryer

To balance the natural charge of your hair use the high-quality hair dryer while drying your strands. Such dryer will emit the negative ions to help and to separate the water molecules. The process will not only help in drying your hair faster but also reduce the heat damage that might dry out the strands.

Avoid Plastic Comb

It is never a good idea to use plastic hair comb as it makes the hair more static. The reason behind this is plastic is non-conductive. Instead, go for a metal or wooden hair styling brush as they are conductive and will get free from static. Science!

Clothing au-naturel

Avoid the use of jackets, hat, and a scarf that contains synthetic materials like polyester and nylon as these elements charge up quickly and contribute to the static. Instead, try out wool, cotton or silk to reduce the amount of static.
