what causes static in human hair?

Answer 1

when there are low levels of humidity in the atmosphere..
the hair has very little moisture in it...
when you touch or brush it..it causes small electric charges
( non harmful ones)..and the hair responds by being drawn to the eletrical charge by fanning out...
same idea when walking on a carpet & then touching a surface..sometimes you get a little shock.

Answer 2

Dry cold winter months
Going from cold to warm and back again
static in clothing not fabric softened
Wearing a hat with synthetic materials
Fine hair just gets that way because the cuticle of the hair is so thin as well
When you moisturize your hands, rub lotion into hands well, leaving no wet product then run hands thru hair. Takes static away. also fabric sheets will do the job too, smell but it works.
you can use shine therapy / shine drops etc...from matrix biosilk and other brands...spritz on hands rub in and work in from ends to almost root.

Answer 3

When you brush through your hair fast, it creates static. That's because if your hair is very dry, the electron from the whatever you brushed through your hair (fingers, hair-brush) transfer to your hair strands. Since electrons repel each other, the strands now want to repel each other, hence static electricity in human hair.
