In her video, Lauren describes her frustration with static hair and tries the foil trick after a recommendation from a fellow user.

The hack has quickly gained popularity for its surprising effectiveness but turns out there actually is a little bit of science behind the viral moment.
Static electricity in hair builds up when it gains an electrical charge, often due to friction or changes in the environment, like humidity.
This causes the strands to repel each other, leading to flyaway's.
Tin foil, being a metal and a conductor, helps neutralize static by transferring excess electrons away from the hair, resulting in smoother strands.
That's enough for us, were off to the supermarket to stock up!
