Causes of Static Hair:
You might have noticed this kind of static hair in the dry seasons when the hair becomes frizzier and static. When hair gets static electricity it makes the hair unruly fly away and cause frizz ness. The main reason behind this is because the hair develops a positive electric charge and as such each strand of hair repel from each other. As we all know materials having the same charges repel from each other and this case the hair 'fly away' from each other. This is same like getting static in the body which you may have observed while touching any kind of metal objects. In winter the static electricity gets worse because heating your surrounding and the room pulls in the moisture from the air and out of the hair as well.
