Okay so for the last week or so I've noticed my hair has been super static! Whether it's been straightened or in its normal curly ish state. I haven't changed any of the products i use, I defnitely don't over brush my hair and the straighteners I use are supposed to be like, anti static (ghd). I can't think of a reason for its crazyness, can anyone name any suggestions?

Thank you!!!

Well, static hair can be caused by any or any combination of the following:

Central heating, air conditioning, flying, going from cold places into hot ones (e.g. outdoors during winter and warm buildings) and vice versa, wearing manmade fibres, sleeping on a polyester pillow, using a brush with plastic bristles instead of natural ones, mussing up with a towel, dehydration.

I think straightening can definitely cause static too; I don't really believe in the concept of "anti-static straighteners".  Are you applying a heat protective product to your hair before heat styling?  This will not only prevent your hair from getting too damaged, but could also reduce the static.

Ensure that you drink plenty of water and don't turn up the heating or aircon too high, invest in a satin pillowcase, keep heat-styling to a minimum and ,every time you wash your hair, finish with an extra rinse in cool water.  Don't towel dry, just pat the hair very gently with a soft towel to remove the excess water. 

Hope this helps - good luck.
