We've all been there: your hair's just been styled, but as soon as you step out the door, it bounces around in all directions due to static electricity. Static hair can be quite annoying, especially during the colder months. But what causes it, and more importantly, how can you prevent and fix it? In this blog post, you'll read everything you need to know about static hair and we'll give you practical tips on how to tackle it.

What is static hair?

Static hair occurs when your hair comes into contact with materials like wool scarves or synthetic fabrics, or when humidity is low. This causes your hair to become statically charged, causing the strands to repel each other and "float." This creates that familiar frizzy effect.

The causes of static hair

Several factors can contribute to static hair. Dry hair is more susceptible to static electricity because it contains less moisture to neutralize the static charge. Weather also plays a significant role; cold and dry air increase the risk of static hair. Using certain hair products can also cause static hair, especially if they don't provide enough hydration.

Tips to fix static hair

Fortunately, there are ways to combat and prevent static hair. Here are some tips you can try:

Tip 1: Use a moisturizing conditioner

One of the most effective ways to combat static hair is to moisturize your hair well. A moisturizing conditioner can help keep your hair hydrated, reducing static. Take a look at our conditioners to find the perfect choice. A hydrating conditioner, like Evo The Therapist Hydrating Conditioner , can help bring your hair back into balance.

Tip 2: Choose a good hairspray

A strong-hold hairspray can also help control static hair. It keeps your hair neatly in place, even when it's statically charged. A handy extra tip: spritz a little hairspray into your hat or scarf before wearing it. This can help prevent static when you take it off. Try Strong Hold Hairspray, for example , for long-lasting results.

Tip 3: Avoid plastic combs

Plastic combs can increase static in your hair. Instead, choose a wooden comb or a brush with natural bristles, which will reduce static.

Tip 4: Avoid excessive heat

Excessive heat, such as with a blow-dryer or straightener, can dry out your hair and increase static. Always use a heat protectant like the EVO Icon Welder Heat Protection Spray and try to limit heat use as much as possible.

What to do with very static hair?

If your hair still gets static despite all your precautions, you can use some water or a light hair oil to reduce the charge. Looking for more tips? Watch this video for more tips on how to combat static hair:
