JAKARTA - Aluminum foils can apparently be used for many things. One of them can help overcome tangled hair caused by static electricity.

According to the dermatologist at the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, Mumbai, India, Dr. Sonali Kohli, aluminum foil can help reduce tangled hair, especially tangled hair caused by static electricity.

"The method is to use a piecealuminum foil on the hair, which helps smooth the strands of the hair and reduce tangled hair," Kohli said, quoted from Antara.

The method of using aluminum foils is effective because it targets static electricity in the hair, a common cause of tangled hair. Static electricity in the hair is usually caused by friction from brushing the hair, wearing a hat, or even environmental factors such as low humidity.

Aluminum, as a good metal and conductor, helps neutralize this static electric charge, Kohli added.

Although using aluminum foils to reduce tangled hair is generally safe, however, there are still some things that need to be considered.

The excessive use of aluminum foils, especially with heat, has the potential to damage hair citcula. In addition, people with sensitive head skin or metal allergies must avoid this method to prevent irritation.

The use of aluminum foils is also often able to contribute to environmental waste.

This is a quick solution to overcome the tangled hair caused by static electric, but, it must be used carefully. Combining professional hair care practices and products provides a more sustainable approach to managing tangled hair, Kohli suggests.

Use care to smooth hair, for example applying bullet serum or conditioner to moist hair to lock moisture and control tangled hair.

Kohli also suggested turning to silk pillowcases to reduce friction and maintain moisture during sleep.

In addition, avoid brushing your hair excessively to reduce the static caused by friction. If you brush your hair, choose a comb with rare teeth.

Use hair masks that hydrate regularly for menutrition and strengthen hair, so they don't get tangled easily, Kohlimenambah.
