7 ways to get rid of  static hair 

DNA WEB DESK

Reduce dryness with moistourising 

Static occurs more often in dry hair. To help keep moisture in, look for conditioning treatments that include oils or butter.

Use metal comb

 These combs work by conducting electricity, which helps draw out any electrical particles that may have gotten onto the comb from your hair. Because plastic combs don't carry electricity, they can make your static more intense.

Apply hairspray

Use a light leave-in conditioner or hairspray. This can lessen static flyaways and hydrate hair.

Put some water to smoothen your hair

Wet your fingertips a little. Gently run them through your hair. The positive-negative charge balance is restored as a result.

Shampoo less often

Your hair's natural oils are being stripped away the more shampoo you use. Shampoo after every 2 days rather than washing your hair every day. 

Wrap hair in a microfiber towel 

Wrap and squeeze your hair it with a hair-specific towel or use an old cotton T-shirt to absorb excess water.

Headgear

Make sure any headgear you wear, such as headbands, hats, or scarves, is made of wool, silk, or cotton. These materials don't retain electrical charges in the same manner as synthetic fibers.
