Does Hair Color Affect Static Electricity?

 

Hair color does not affect static electricity.

More Info: The myth goes that lighter color hair actually conducts more electricity than darker hair. The reality is that lighter hair tends to be finer. Hair that is thinner and lighter has a different reaction to static electricity than heavier or thick hair.

So, while there is a small amount of truth to this myth, the same can be said for darker hair that is also thin. No matter how dark or how bright your hair is, it all has to do with the overall texture of it. Also, whenever your hair is dry, it tends to have more static. There are several things that you will be able to do to prevent static electricity from wreaking havoc on your hair. Because it has a lot to do with how dry your hair is, there are several balms and oils that can be put in your hair to help weigh it down without making it heavy or greasy. Everybody has different hair so it is a good idea to test out several products until you find one that works the best for you.

Technically, it is not your hair that actually conducts electricity. Whenever your hair becomes affected by static electricity, it is simply allowing electricity to build up. Electrons cannot flow through your hair to allow it to conduct any electricity on its own.
