10 tips on how to get rid of hair static

Hair becomes electrified when it has too many positive ions, which also appear on jumpers, chairs or armchairs. Charges of the same sign repel each other and then the process of hair becoming electrified takes place. What can be done to stop hair becoming electrified? Learn about home remedies that are very easy to implement.

1. Use a metal comb.
These combs conduct electricity, which helps remove electrical particles in the hair and on the comb. Plastic combs cannot increase electricity as they do not conduct electricity.

2. A highly moisturising conditioner
Dry hair is more prone to electrification. Look for conditioners containing oils or butters that help retain moisture.
Simply apply a small amount to the ends of your hair and then smooth. However, remember not to apply moisturiser at the roots as this can make your hair greasy

3. Wash your hair less often
Many people think it is better to wash their hair every day. However, remember that the more often you wash your hair, the more natural oils are removed from it, which can cause dryness and breakage. So do not wash your hair every day, it is better to wash your hair every two days instead of every other day. This is a simple but effective way to reduce the electricity in your hair. 

4. Use a hair mask
Using a coconut or avocado hair mask once a week can keep your hair moisturised.

5. Don't use hair towels
Here's another tip to reduce hair static. Someone may find this strange, but using a towel to dry your hair can pull out strands, cause frizz and breakage. Instead of using a towel, wear a cotton t-shirt after every wash to reduce static. 

6. Choose natural fibres in headwear
Choose hats, headbands and scarves made of cotton, silk or wool. They do not hold an electrical charge like synthetic fibres do. Try to avoid nylon and polyester, which are more likely to generate static electricity in your hair.

7. Use an ionic hair dryer
Unlike traditional hair dryers, ionic hair dryers emit negative ions. Because water ions are positively charged, negative ions effectively help to separate water molecules from hair strands. This process not only helps dry hair faster, but ionic dryers also use less heat, reducing heat damage and creating a frizz-free finish. 

8. Cold air blast
At the end of drying your hair, it's a good idea to switch your dryer to cold air. Some dryers, the more professional ones, have a cold air button. The cold blast effectively closes the hair's cuticles for smooth, soft and flowing strands.

9. Comb with hairspray
To tame frizz, spray a metal comb with hairspray and run it through your hair from root to tip. While hairspray tames unruly strands without leaving hair rough, the metal comb works magic on static.  

10. Leave-in conditioner
A leave-in conditioner will help moisturise strands and protect them from changing temperatures and weather conditions without weighing them down. Simply spray the product onto strands and comb through to distribute the product evenly. 

Try the above and find your golden remedy for frizzy hair.
