Don't you hate it when you have to step out for a party or a function or a meeting and your hair decides to get all frizzy? And as if that wasn't enough, suddenly there needs to be static too. Static in your hair can be caused due to multiple factors like different temperatures, lack of moisture or just friction from rubbing against something. But just because static has decided to make an unnecessary entry into your life doesn't mean you can't show it the exit door. Here are some hair hacks that are bound to help you say goodbye to all that useless static. Take a look.

The more you shampoo your hair the more you strip it of its natural oils which can ultimately lead to static in your hair. Try to minimise it to washing every other day instead of washing it every day. And if you have greasy hair you probably don't deal with much static anyway so we doubt it's causing you a problem.

If you have long hair, one of the easiest ways to keep static away is to tie it into a bun or braid it up. And if you'd much rather have your hair open, you could always just tie it up until you arrive at your destination so that it looks prim and proper when you undo it.

What you can do is opt for a pre-hair wash mask that will help seal all the moisture in your hair. Then, use a conditioner as a shampoo as this will seal the cuticle and give your hair weight instead of stripping it of its oils like shampoo does.

Don't just pick anything up when you go to get a heating iron or a blow dryer. It's important to see how well they work for your hair. So, make sure that you invest in one that neutralises frizz and static and will come to your rescue whenever you have a hair issue.

We cannot begin to stress how important it is that you use a heat protectant every time you decide to use a heating tool on your hair. Make sure that you set the heat to minimum and get rid of as much moisture as you can beforehand to reduce any frizz buildup.

Using plastic combs and brushes on your hair can cause static electricity. Instead, we suggest investing in natural boar bristle brushes and wooden combs. Metal combs may be helpful in avoiding static, too, but they can be harsh on the hair shaft and inevitably lead to breakage.

Even if you’re using top-notch hair products at home, the harsh weather you’re exposed to during your commute and lunch break can ruin everything. A quick fix is to carry a travel-size bottle of leave-in conditioner or hair oil in your handbag. The moisture in the product will eliminate the electric charge that causes static, and that moisture and oil will allow your hair to become manageable again.

Unlike what most people suggest, it's best to actually wash your hair at night. David Babaii, who has styled the hair of huge Hollywood celebs like Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, and Gwyneth Paltrow says that when you wash your hair at night, it'll have ample amount of time to cool down and let your cuticles close. This will easily help reduce all the frizz.
